Haruhi Suzumiya: How Endless Eight Should End

I am sure all current viewers of this season’s The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are tired of Endless Eight’s time loop. I mean… after the last week’s episode (number seven), it was the SIXTH time we’ve seen the events unfold for the SOS Brigade’s final two weeks of summer. SIX TIMES! Sure, I thought the [...]

Otakon 2009 Pictures!

Here are pictures from this year’s Otakon! There were a TON of people there at the convention this year. Over 25,000 people this year according to ANN. As always, there were a lot of cosplayers too!.

Friend: Oooh quest givers from WoW!
Me: ???
Friend: Over there to the left! See them?!

Housing in World of Warcraft

I recently re-activated one of my old account of an old MMO (gasp, I know!) I used to play. It was a game I was highly addicted to back in my college days that rhymes with “sminal smantasy smeleven”. Anyways, playing the game for a few hours, it got me wondering about Player Housing, and [...]

WoW Insider’s Secret Mage Page

There seems to be a hidden directory on the WoW Insider’s (now just WoW.com) website. Maybe it is just a work in progress. Maybe it was it was just lost in the transition of going from WoWinsider.com over to WoW.com. Maybe it is an abandoned project, never to see the light of day again.
Or maybe [...]

Otakon 2009!

Going to be gone this weekend. I will be nerding it up in Baltimore, MD again this year for good ‘ol Otakon. Anime, Manga, Games, and a lot of cosplaying. Otakon, here I come!

I will also remember to post pictures from this year’s Otakon in a more timely manner. Not like last year’s pictures where I just happen to finally get around to posting them… now.

Is it Faster to Blink or Mount Between the AH and Bank in Ironforge?

I asked this question last time when I talked about the new changes to Mounts that may happen in Patch 3.2. Well it’s time to test it out.
Currently, most Alliance Mages in Ironforge will simply Blink between the Auction House and the Bank. We won’t bother to mount up like most other classes. But is [...]

Dead Fantasy: Part III

Over a year ago, I posted Part I and II of Dead Fantasy, machinima videos starring the ladies of Square Enix and Team Ninja. The creator, Monty Oum did an kick-ass job pitting the two teams against each other in an all out brawl.

Part III isn’t as over the top as the first two, and [...]

PTR Patch 3.2 Testing: Frostbolts and Mounts and Titles, Oh My!

I had some time over the weekend to play around for a little bit on the Public Test Realm. Mainly to see how fast my new Frostbolts are, but I stumbled upon other discoveries. Changes to Mounts and changes to Titles!
Empowered Frostbolt
So we know that Frost Mages will be getting a PvE buff with the [...]

PTR Patch 3.2 Testing: Living Bomb

I went onto the PTR again to record a short video of the new Living Bomb in action. It was kind of cool as everyone kind of just stopped and watched as I displayed a nice little fireworks show for them.

What I’ve found, is how Mana efficient (yea you heard right) Living Bomb can be [...]

PTR Patch 3.2 – Frost Mages Get Mortal Strike and More Haste

In the latest PTR Build 10072, Blizzard had made a few more changes to the Mage class- Frost Mages in particular. This had been brought to my attention by the folks at MMO-Champion, and you can view the entire list of changes here. Like always, I’ll be concentrating on the Mage changes.

Frost Mage by Dan [...]

PTR Patch 3.2 – Living Bomb on Multiple Targets

Now that I’m back into the mood to return to the World of Warcraft, I copied my character over to the new Public Test Realms to see what was going on with the next patch. So far I am liking it.

The next content patch (3.2) will be called Call of the Crusade, and will introduce [...]

One Day of the Midsummer Fire Festival

I just came back not too long ago from my little vacation, just in time to enjoy a nice holiday. Good way to ease myself back into normal mode from vacation mode. It was the Fourth of July, and I have already done some grilling earlier in the day so I decided to sign onto [...]

Back From the Cruise

And I came back seven pounds heavier, burnt all over my body, and my face looking waaaaay too tan. I had too much fun, and didn’t want to come back to the real world. Sadly, it had to end eventually.

This was my home for the last 2 weeks
I came back just in time to enjoy [...]
