Jumpgate: Evolution – Event Sectors and Impressions

written on September 3rd, 2010 with 1 comment

Many consider World of Warcraft to be the holy grail of MMOs because of its player base, but that doesn’t deter rival companies from attempting to improve the MMO formula to draw in players. While the fantasy genre has been nearly beaten to death with MMO titles that have come and gone, EVE Online has remained the one true space sim MMO for the past several years.

A new competitor in the space sim MMO realm is Jumpgate: Evolution. Some of you may be familiar with the first iteration of the series that had what some may call “boring at best” gameplay, but Jumpgate: Evolution’s developer NetDevil promises fast-paced Wing Commander style fighting amidst an array of PVE and PVP objectives.

The Tank Mentality

written on August 17th, 2010 with 4 comments

People that play tank classes are psychotic shit-shows…and I’m not just saying this because I am one. Any person who plays a tanking class that takes it seriously is a rough blend of masochism, narcissism, and an unhealthy amount of unresolved angst. I mean lets face it, have you ever seen two tanks go at it in a raid before? It is basically a competition of who is more bat shit fucking crazy:

Tank 1: “HEY I’M TANKING 5 MOBS AT THE SAME TIME! RAWR!”

Tank 2: “OH YEAH WELL I JUST PULLED THIS ENTIRE ROOM OF MOBS!”

Tank 1: “GOOD ONE BUT NOW I’M TANKING TWO BOSSES AT THE SAME TIME…WITHOUT A SHIELD!”

Cataclysm Beta Videos: Throne of Tides Dungeon and Blackrock Caverns

written on July 5th, 2010 with 1 comment

Two amazing video walk-throughs by the well known Cynical Brit. Watching these will be a breath of fresh air for many World of Warcraft players as the dungeons not only look challenging, but have some added pizazz with in-game cinematics and new graphics! The first is of the Throne of Tides Dungeon, the second 5 man you will encounter, and the first is Blackrock Caverns, a throwback to Blackrock Depths (though not quite as lengthy, even though it does has 5 bosses). Enjoy!

written on July 2nd, 2010 with 10 comments

After the NDA for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm was lifted yesterday I was able to look at some of the new loot that would be available for leveling and the initial 5 man dungeons. Let me recall the first words out of my mouth:
