Phat Loot Phriday: Stakethrower

It’s time to face the facts. The vampires are out there. They lurk in the shadows of Silvermoon with their bare, glittering chests entrancing casual bystanders


Resurrecting the Hellion in StarCraft II

Of all the Terran units I find that the Hellion needs the most work.

As a guild we like to do stuff together.


My Tribe – Next generation Facebook games?

Following a recommendation from Cuppycake , I reactivated my dormant Facebook account and started playing My Tribe . As I said in my previous discussion of Facebook games , I recognize the power of the social engineering tools used for games like Farmville, but didn’t like that these games were so lacking in actual gameplay. There isn’t really much gameplay involved in apps like Farmville or Mafia Wars, it is just clicking to get rewards, plus incentives to give money to the game company and to invite your friends into the game.


Star Trek Online: Release Calendar Feature

Sometimes it’s the little things that show they care. In Star Trek Online the folks over at Cryptic launched a release calendar which will be updated with important releases such as patches or in game updates. With this and last week’s introduction of the Engineering reports feature STO continues to add the little things that


Around Azeroth: Were the world mine

Laser light show! Valafar of Exodar may need to take a break from this feature for his own sanity — his latest e-mail refers to himself as ‘the greatest photographer in Azeroth’ — but he certainly knows how to put on a performance. His latest masterpiece depicts the life and unlife of Arthas Menethil, set to the tune of Rush’s 2112, with special effects provided by the Gnomeregan Engineering Corps (or Corpses, depending on how long they’ve spent in those irradiated tunnels.) Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Star Trek Online: Ground Combat, Skill Points

The other half of Star Trek Online is ground combat. In true Star Trek fashion, anytime you need to beam down into a hostile situation, rather than sending Marines, you send the bridge crew. You beam down with your officers, creating a party of 5


Star Trek Online: Space Combat

Space Combat is Star Trek Online’s killer feature. It’s relatively novel, interesting, and fun. Combat is quasi-2D.


Too many choices

I used to be a one main sorta gal.  This 4 80’s business has me a little torn. I love my main. Love.


Fire Questions Answered

In regards to the frag belt , as opposed to simply building the individual bombs. If you want to use the cobalt bombs every minute instead of the belt every six, go right ahead. The belt is far cheaper in the long run, which is the only reason I consider it superior to using individual bombs.


For the Love of Trash

Shortly after this pull, and while busy pondering his love for trash mobs, Stoney got one-shot Once upon a time, and for quite a long time, trash mobs were an integral part of every raid. From the gear-check guardians at the entrance to MC to the three-Mages-required SSC and TK packs, trash took up a significant portion of raid time, energy and mana.

19 Elemental Shaman Twink: Update

H ey Gang! I wanted to give you an update on my level 19 Elemental Shaman Twink. Once I hit level 19 I road the boat to Stormwind and found the creepy rogue in the corner and payed my 10g dues and shut off my precious XP gains. Now the fun begins.


Tanking Heroics: Quick and Easy Gearing for Paladins

So I recently decided to level up my Paladin from 70 to 80, and wanted to play around with tanking some instances while leveling and also once I hit 80.? However, I noticed that there isn’t a good up-to-date gear guide readily available for preparing yourself to tank heroic instances.? With that in mind I’ve created the Tanking Heroics: Quick and Easy Gearing .? For now this is primarily for Paladins, but a Warrior could put it to use as well since both classes take advantage of block mechanics. Keep in mind, this set of gear is what should get you into heroics quickly.? It’s not always going to be the best-in-slot items, etc.? I’ll be putting together another guide for getting into raids easily, too, which will be a more optimized setup than this, but of course not always the best.? If you want to view the full stats and profile for this setup, you can do so by heading to this profile on Wowhead: PaladinTank


How flaws in Blizzard’s billing department are being exploited

Please see the update to this original post. In our continuing series on account security issues present within Blizzard’s offices, we bring you news that lax training in Blizzard’s billing department is being exploited by those attempting to game the system and illegitimately acquire more gold and high value in-game items. The critical flaw in Blizzard’s system is that billing support personnel are currently given the ability to “roll back” characters to previous versions more or less on the spot, with the customer on the phone
