I’m going to assume that if you’re still reading this past the title, you’re interested in talking about tank gearing for your level 80 and that you’ve presumably used the Dungeon Finder to level him or her as a tank, but you’re certainly not rocking full T9 yet.

As previously mentioned in our lengthy review of the Razer Naga , Razer had plans to update their 17-button MMOG-centric mouse to enable key mapping. Heathcliff Hatcher from Razer responded to concerns about the mouse’s configurability back then that “software driver remapping of keys is a standard function for most of Razer products and we do have suitable solutions that we intend to release in the near future for Naga that will enable this feature out of game.” Razer delivered on that promise with an update to the mouse driver , allowing users to configure all 17 buttons. This addresses the reservations many players expressed when the product launched in August last year

The random dungeon finder is not only great for gearing up alts and getting mains the necessary badges to fill out their gear — it’s an amazing tool which forces an increase in the WoW community’s collective knowledge about instances and game mechanics. And while some of these game mechanics will be a discussion for a future time (hint: tomorrow’s Breakfast Topic), today let’s focus on what instances you’ve had to “relearn,” more or less.

It’s time again for Arcane Brilliance , the weekly mage column that loves nothing more than to gaze down upon the whole of Northrend from one of the floating chunks of stone around Dalaran and realize that at some point, a mage has probably killed every living thing down there. At least the targetable ones, anyway. And the ones you can’t target

The dungeon finder tool that rolled out in Patch 3.3 has been a game-changer for most — if not all! — of us. Instead of waiting around to find the dungeon group you need, an ample supply of players eager to run the instance you need is only a few clicks away

A pair of contests popped up on the World of Warcraft official site in the past few days, reminding everyone of a small and closing window to try and get to BlizzCon . One contest, sponsored by Alienware , requires absolutely nothing more than signing up for the DELL newsletter through their Back to School 2009 promo page. That’s it

So you’ve got your computer , your input device , and maybe some specialized keyboard . The only thing you’ll need now is some sound system. In the conclusion of this series , we’ll take a look at what you use for game sounds

My wife recently won a Facebook contest run by those Razer guys to win a Sphex “gaming grade desktop skin” , which is actually just a fancy name for a mousepad. That was great timing, too, because she’d been confined to using a ratty Manila envelope as her mouse surface for the past couple of months. She’d been able to raid just fine (apparently Manila paper works better than some conventional mousepads), although a new mousepad might help

Let’s face it, not everyone can afford an HP Blackbird 002 , which was used for several MLG pro gaming tournaments and was awarded 4.5 stars (out of 5) by CNET.
