It's been two weeks since I started my journey back to my most-enjoyed MMO, so I feel another update is due. A problem I have with pretty much any game which allows you to dictate the class you play as is that I want to try them all. Warhammer Online has proved to be no different. At the moment I'm playing three characters each of a different MMO archetype. A Black Orc (which is a defensive tan...
I decided to return to Warhammer Online after a significant absence to see how things were holding up. I haven't had this game on my computer in almost 2 years, so I've forgotten pretty much everything about it, other than I really liked it. After a few hours I'm remembering why I was so into it when it came out. I recovered my account and was surprised to find 6 characters waiting for me, maki...
It is currently Tuesday, June 7th, 3:45 am on the east cost, I am listening to the first bombcast of E3 2011, and I am downloading the Warhammer Online client for the second time. WAR is one of the few games I've followed extensively throughout it's development. I was in the beta, I played on launch day, and I had a hell of a lot of fun with it. It was an MMO I really enjoyed, which was a first...
In the last few days I have been chronicling my experience with jumping back into Starcraft II after a months long lapse in play, exclusively playing Zerg in order to learn the race I have had the most difficulty playing as. As I have played the Zerg I have learned a lot about how they function, when is the right time to build drones as opposed to make units, and the importance of expanding ear...
This is a blog following my experience with coming back to Starcraft II after a semester's-long absence and diving headfirst into my least-played race, the Zerg . original post Today I'm going to talk about my first three matches and what I've been able to take away from them, hopefully being the first steps on the path to Zerg mastery (or at least, Zerg adequacy). I'll start by just giving a b...
I have been playing Starcraft II off and on since beta and it's one of those games I really want to be good at. More importantly, it's a game I feel i CAN be good at through practice. At the top of my game I was in Platinum and fairly confident in my skills, not Korea-good, but respectable. However, for the last few months I've been up at school where a busy schedule and shitty internet has lim...
When the first left 4 dead came out I remember playing it on XBOX Live with a couple of friends of mine almost everyday after school for about a month or so. Between vs mode and going through the campaign stuff it was a great time for a while. Then we moved on to other games and I never really played it since. Left 4 Dead 2 came out. I was interested but never got around to picking it up until...
Having grown up with games almost constantly being a part of my life, I feel as if I hold the hobby a bit close to the heart. For as long as I can remember I have been playing games. From my first life in Super Mario Bros. on some Christmas morning of my youth to pumping quarters into a MKII machine at a local skating rink, to earlier this morning where I was playing my friend in Super Street F...
