Starcraft II Ship Date

Dan — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:00:42 +0000

Blizzard announced the ship date for StarCraft 2 today… kind of. Technically, they announced that it *isn’t* shipping in ’09, but the announcement does say that it will be in the first half of 2010. Blizzard information here. Text of release here: Today we announced that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will not be ready [...]

Warcraft – 3.2

Dan — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:52:28 +0000

Today is patch day! Patch 3.2 “The Call of the Crusader” hit the live servers this morning, which means, of course, that Blizzard has extended maintenance beyond the normal end time. They currently estimate that realms will be up and playable by 1500 PDT. My guess, is that they’ll actually be up and playable around [...]

Warhammer comes to Mac

Mythic announced yesterday that they are starting to Beta Warhammer online for the Mac (see here). They’re not doing it the right way, since it’s not a native client. They’re using Cider to wrap it, so it’ll have some issues, just like Eve Online does via Cider. But, it’s better then nothing. So, if you’re [...]

Bad Bioware, Bad!

Go stand in the corner till you learn some manners! As you may, or may not, know Bioware is developing a MMO set in the Star Wars universe. Specifically, in the Old Republic era that their Knights of The Old Republic game was set in (300 years after KOTOR to be precise). Bioware has stated [...]

Mana Potions

I was listening to Casually Hardcore last week while I was at work. And they were talking about Mana potions (the real life ones you can order from Mana Potions). Seems some of their listeners (perhaps guild mates, couldn’t tell for sure).. chipped in and ordered them some to try as a sample. Their on-air [...]

World of Whatcraft?

Dan — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:14:15 +0000

Umm..yeah.. just when you though’t you’d seen everything.. you see this: http://www.datecraft.com/ And really, that says it all.. no need to make fun of it more then that… Edit: after looking around on the site for a bit. it looks like its actually a fake, none of the pictures go to any profiles or anything [...]

Guide to the Dark Side

Dan — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 16:08:04 +0000

On my voyage to the dark side (I switched to play on the horde side, for those who have no idea what I’m talking about). I’ve been following a leveling guide to make my run to 70 as quick as possible. Its worked out real good.. I’m not setting an records with my leveling, but [...]

Gone to the Dark Side

Dan — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 16:33:39 +0000

Err.. sorry bout the lack of activity.. I’ve gone to the dark side of WoW and joined a Horde Guild.. so I’ve been busting my butt to get to 70 ASAP. I did end up in a guild with a bunch of good people, so its been fun… even if I am being ‘evil’

Blizzard Rocks!

Dan — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 15:54:47 +0000

Sure, they manage to consistently screw up the most popular MMORPG out there, they let the amount of whining on their forums dictate what changes they make, and they’re about to nerf Warlocks into a unviable PvP class… but thats OK! because in the same patch that they put their heads up their butts and [...]

Missing In Action

Dan — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:34:52 +0000

I got the expansion pack for World Of Warcraft.. and now I've been: A) Trying to get my Mage to 70 (He's almost 67 now) B) Get my Rogue to 70 (She's 56, I've stopped leveling her to concentrate on the Mage) C) Farm up lots of gold to be able to afford a flying mount in 3 levels (not looking good so far) D) Level up my poor ignored Druid (she's like 26 now) E) Level up my new Dranei (they're in there low 20s) F) Started a new guild...need to start recruiting soon so there are more then just the founding people in it. I'm going to try and get better at updating..got lots of stuff I should have posted about what the kids have been up to.
