Meet the Warlocks: a tale of three talent trees.

Those that raided endgame content during Burning Crusade may have noticed that any asshole off the street could apparently tear the roof off any dungeon from Karazhan to Black Temple by leaning on a single button that read "Shadow Bolt".

In those days of Demonic Sacrifice the majority of the Warlock player base was hip to the fact that the best option for tightly controlled DPS once you had sufficient gear to be hit-capped was 0/21/40 with a sacrificed Succubus. Many a...

The Failure of Cataclysm

Posted 09/13/11 at 1:17 PM by emptyrepublic
This has been cross posted on my blog at wordpress.com.

Some people might call this post a troll, but I mean it very seriously. I think by most objective measures World of Warcraft: Cataclysm can be classified as a failure. Not because production value was poor (in fact it was excellent). Not because there was insufficient content. It failed simply because Blizzard has fallen into the trap of trying to please everyone and as a consequence is pleasing almost no one. Since the release...

Becoming a Legend

It is said that Caesar, First Emperor of Rome, in fact was the master mind behind his own murder. His famous last words "Et tu Brute" were not the surprised cry of a betrayed friend, but instead the command for Brutus to do his job: kill the emperor. Caesar wanted to be remembered, above anything else. His conclusion was obvious: being murdered by his fellow Senators, on the Senate floor in Rome, is one hell of a way to get your name out.

1)Be an Asshole:
The most important, and the by far the easiest, activity to check off your list before logging out that last time is to be a complete and uncensored asshole. It doesnt take much looking to notice that interaction between members of the WoW community has more in common with the style and educate of retarded chimpanzees than actual human beings. Its a bar fight out there, ladies and gentlemen, and if you dont take the opportunity to step on the neck of one of your pears, you're...

Battle.net Fears

Posted 10/15/09 at 3:57 PM by emptyrepublic
Updated 10/23/09 at 5:19 PM by emptyrepublic
I saw this blog post on WoW.com today and feel a bit of a need to respond regarding the purpose and eventual impact once WoW requires all players to bind their accounts with Battle.net.

Overall the author is concerned that Battle.net integration is essentially foisting features that are unwanted and will impair or otherwise diminish their gaming experience. Personally, I am a fan of Battle.net integration for no other reason than the fact that when I was setting up my account I was...
