Diablo 3 - Public beta weekend

It's public beta this weekend for Diablo 3 - meaning lots of login issues and biting nails. But,. you should all get a chance to play around with it at least, instead of just a select few. I know what I'll be doing this Sunday! :P linky, check

D3 - coming soon

Oh yeah, 15 May 2012!Torchlight will be released "after" D3 it seems, so they won't be too likely to get a lot of sales. They had their chance, but alas that ship has sailed.I know what I'll be spending a lot of time on this year at

Has WoW become less social?

So, I was trolling around on the MMOC forums and ran into a pretty decent thread. It happens so and then, not a lot but, it happens.To be exact, this one. The dude who started it has since gotten banned from the forums - never a pretty sight, but it's

A journey of 7 years

I've played World of Warcraft for, seven, nearly eight years. I got into the game at the recommendation of a close friend. One who I now longer speak to. Not for bad reasons, we just, don't anymore.It was open beta, you could try it for free

Some small level of praise where it's due.After many... MANY weeks of harassing Amazon, they FINALLY released an update for Stanza, so that it will work with iOS 5.If you have NO idea what I'm talking about here's the lowdown:* Small company

How to crash MMO-Champion

Simple, just run a BlizzCon.502 Bad GatewayOnly took about 15 minutes of half the world hammering F5 F5 F5.The thing that really got it down though was "Mists of Pandaria is the next WoW Expansion". Oh boy...diablo.incgamers.com seems to be

Dragon Tavern Logger v1.0.4

I spent most of my saturday getting the new features in. And I must say it's AWESOME to finally have the data stored separately. Updated the changelog / download link on the DT Forum, and of course v1.0.4 can be downloaded right here from hotfile.A

Blood, Vampires and Violence

A wise man once said:"With Great Breasts comes Great Responsibility".Now, whether you find that a wise quote or not he should have said: "comes a large horde of teenage fan boys".I haven't even really started telling you what

Music for today

Let's try something different. How about some music?Do you know Pong?And not just "know of it" but actually KNOW pong, used to own the original Atari thing, with specialized controllers? Yeah, I'm that old I guess. But age aside it

Link cleanup

I just cleaned up some dead links from the comic links bar, as well as some old/outdated theorycrafting links. Even removed one which had some gold-seller links on it (I ain't having any of that shit on here). Which means, there's some room

Caption this!

You have no doubt all heard and seen I Can Has Cheezburger, right? And there's a bunch of other caption sites "out there" on the big ole interwebs. I figured hey, lets see if anyone can come up with some funny warcraft captions. So, here's

Achievements all over

Metagaming at it's finest.Achievements aren't just limited to World of Warcraft after all.Most flash gaming sites have incorporated the system in some way or the other.There's Kongregate, Newgrounds, Armorgames, and oh so many more. Kongragate

It's t-t-t-takeover tuesday!

Seems a number of large games got hacked and/or became the victim of a DDOS.Eve online, Minecraft and the games site The escapartist all seem to be down today.Way to go on ruining my evening you damn kids!First sony gets hacked, several times in a row

The ugly thing called Yahoo

I really should post more often, but I guess the infrequent updates are as good a reason as any to sign up to the RSS feed ;)So, I was lazy and snagged an image at random. It still serves the same purpose.Yahoo is bad. Evil even. A filthy large corporation

Accidents happen...

Sometimes when you least expect it.Like for example, at 0.38 in the middle of the night... When I was "trying",.. oh so very much to get some sleep. The picture on the side here, is the resulting image I took the next morning.Apparently, either

The end of trillian

I'm sure many have heard of the program called "Trillian".It's an Instant Messenger interface which supports the MSN, yahoo, icq, skype and a number of other protocols.It's always had a fairly good reputation as far as I was aware,

4.0.6, stupid damn patch

OK so, yay we get a patch.Bunch of fixes, bunch more things got broken.I'll add to this list as I run into things.Newly Broken* Stealth looks different. It's like I'm moonwalking in slow motion now, it sucks.Other changes* Open GM ticket,

Gaymes you will wish to avoid

Indeed, a play on words. So, aside wow theres dozens of games you may run into on the internet.One particular type that keeps tempting me and then just crash kill and delete is the "build stuff in your browser" sort. You know, travian, freesky,

Happy christmas and a merry new year

So, Cataclysm is now "live" near a month and everyone's had some time to explore all the "new" things.Plenty of new things to be annoyed at, plenty of bugs discovered and see them "not" getting fixed.And then there's

A hundred Glyphs and more

So, what should you expect to find in WoW if you've been out of the game for three months or more? Well, you probably have 7 days of free playtime waiting for you. (I did) So, I decided to use those and get ready in the next few days before Cataclysm

Just a month to go

And the countdown is on!~31 days until Cataclysm will be officially released.I think Archeology is the one aspect that I'm looking forward the most.More skills to raise :3And new areas to explore, easy old-herb farming, mining.More quests!After that,

Back to a classic

With Cataclysm still a month or two away, and Diablo 3 at least a year more... I figure I'd try having a poke at another old game I used to play. Namely, Diablo 2. Yeah it's old, about 10 years or more, and it's at LEAST 7 or 8 years since

Television

So, I was sitting behind the PC just now, with the TV on in the background. "According to Jim" just finished, and the commercials were starting. The coming next block was just stating "Next we continue with the Matrix trilogy"...*BAM!*The
