I Am Losing My Head.
Part of it, literally. At first I thought that was my dwarf’s brain. Turn out it is a mouth. I guess if it was a brain it would be much smaller. The point of this picture is – this is what I am staring at while gaming right now. I busted my little dwarven butt…
Happy Thanksgiving
Didn’t write much over the weekend, we Canucks have our thanksgiving early. Spent the time with friends and family, and had a great time. I have a ton of things to “complain” about with gaming and MMO’s but heck, it’s a holiday here so instead figured I would send thanks out to my online friends,…
A New Approach
After I gave my enthusiastic response to the gold spammer I didn’t receive another spam from any gold company the rest of the night. Coincidence?
The 6 Wheeled Car
There is a six wheeled car – it is a sedan, four door. What if I told you it gets better gas mileage, is much safer to drive, hell, it’s even cheaper than a boring old regular 4 wheeled car. Would you buy it? Probably not. Nobody wants to be the first, and 4 wheels have done…
HELP ME, HELP uh ME? (Update #1/#2)
It seems my blog pages ‘formatting’ is taking on a life of it’s own. I am not sure where/how I borked it, but it seems to be a streaming and stemming problem that is getting worse. Anyone out there suggest a good, clean theme (that I can’t possibly break?) Update: Going to be messing around with…
Talk to Me, Baby.
Due to the aforementioned level block I too decided to enjoy the good part of WAR by leveling an alt through T1 and T2. My Ironbreaker (quite possibly the worst kept secret on order – holy cow durability batman!) just started in T2, my second time around the circuit. The first time it was with…
Keeping Levelling on the Level
Please note these are all assumptions on the math based on my experiences. I am even going to use handout materials. This is what the leveling curve in WAR seems to be. Each level gets incremently longer. While you breeze through the first 10 levels, the levels as you push higher feel rediculously long. While it…
BEST GUILD APPLICATION OF ALL TIME?
I am partly afraid to post this, mostly because I fear that it has already made the rounds – but it is the first I saw of it. It’s long, but worth the wait for the effort put in. Watch this now as the best guild application evah! (My apologies if this is old news,…
‘NYUK OF THE LIVING DEAD
Just before launch I made a post about a few bothersome things we would face at launch. I just entered the T3 lands and figured I would review to see how things are going. 1) Gravitation to EvC – still an issue, as I found the T2 and T3 scenarios popping the most for me…
$0 DOWN, $199/MONTH 2.3% FINANCING
With the spammy-gold-spamertons all over WAR there is a lot of coverage in Blognation about RMT and what to do with it. I covered my thoughts on RMT here before, and to summarize – if games mechanics are made so poorly that I can only enjoy the game by buying gold then something needs to…
WHERE’S THE BEEF?
By “beef”, I mean “data”. This is a dream world post. I often dare to dream. Mythic is very proud of their meta data collection and hey, I would love them to throw some of that our way. Developers are always very protective of their data. Gamers are always very hungry to understand more. When…
THE WARbert REPORT: STONETROLL CROSSING
Stonetroll Crossing is the T2 scenario for EvC. It is a murderball/flag capture mechanic with some fun twists. At the top of the spiralling mountain in the center of the map is a “pacifier”. You have to grab the pacifier, then travel to three troll groupings around the map and “pacify” the trolls – all…
THE WARbert REPORT: MOURKAIN TEMPLE
Mourkain Temple is a Tier 2 Scenario in the Dwarves vs Greenskin Pairing. The game is very simple: get, and hold onto, the Mourkain Artifact for as long as you can. You get points for holding onto the artifact and for killing enemies. The artifact holder gets bonus points for killing while holding it, and…
THE WARbert REPORT: PHOENIX GATE
Over the next few days I am going to touch upon the three T2 scenarios and my experiences playing them. The core of the characters on the server I play on seem to be in this level range, so now is a good time to discuss how to win! My main character is a R18…
A MOMENT FOR CLARITY
Having discerned a clarity issue in my previous (and most “famous”, because of it) post, I figured I would add a moment of (attempted) clarity. As much as I am already tired of discussing the WAR EULA, and EULA’s in general perhaps I positioned myself into an unclear stance, I would like to correct that….
Stop The Presses!
Sharpen your pencils and get your stamps ready. It is time to contact your Congress-person, Member of Parliament, or Town Shaman. The greatest video gaming injustice of all time has been committed! We, as gamers with precious little time, cannot stand back and accept this atrocity. Who cares if there are other important things going…
Am I a Snowflake?
My experiences with my PC and gaming leads me to think I am unique. I don’t seem to have the problems that the “angry” online populace does. Visat 64? Runs like a charm. Never had a single install issue. I don’t understand all the hate. DRM? Never screwed up on my machine. I am very…
Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!
I know I am talking a lot about WARHAMMER ONLINE lately. A lot of good! It is launching soon much to my excitement, and heck, it is the talk of the town. I too live in that town so let’s get to more talking. Using Beta/Open Beta as a reference it is hard not to already…
Do You Know What Time it Is?
Back Caught you lookin’ for the same thing It’s a new thing check out this I bring Uh Oh the roll below the level ‘Cause I’m livin’ low next to the bass C’mon Turn up the radio They claim that I’m a criminal By now I wonder how Some people never know The enemy could…
iBlog
Perhaps you may have noticed something different with this entry. Perhaps not, at least until you hit the end of a line. Much like full justification is gone noticeably so is my PC – I am writing this on my iPhone. Waiting for a meeting to begin surfing apps I came accross the WordPress addin…
Move Along – Nothing to See Here
In the spirit of disclosure, which seems to be a big topic today on blogs (and link to other blogs) I must admit I am a big fan of KTR. Look to the right on my huge list of blog-folk I have there. Kill Ten Rats is in the list. Right near the top! (Please,…
Perception
With the Warhammer:Age of Reckoning Open Beta underway I am curious what the initial impression is from the typical (ie: people without a preconceived fanboy or doomsday view) gamer. As mentioned before, I am looking forward to it’s release. I also have to come clean and share that my perception perhaps isn’t a very fair one….
Spoilers
I like baseball. I like it for a lot of reasons. My beloved blue jays are 7 games over the .500 hundred mark for the first time in three years and are a very large miracle away from making the postseason. They are, however, playing the great role of spoiler for teams ahead of them…
I Hate Playing With Myself
Obviously, that puts me in a minority with my gaming compatriots. After being taunted by Joe at Massive Crits for my lack of FPS content (even though I expressed my love for them publically here) I figured I would explain. I have been spoiled with online gaming forever. This sets up expectations for me that…
