WoW Moviewatch: Beware of the Baby B

Michael Gray is still feeling a bit under the weather, and I have heard no news on the status of the puppy , so! Today’s offering is another of the winners of the Alienware Rise to Power contest! Beware of the Baby B is a charming little three minute story by Olibith , who we’ve featured before numerous times on WoW Moviewatch. Much like the other Rise to Power winners, it’s a pretty jaw-dropping movie in terms of effects and production. Beware of the Baby B is a tale about a baby beholder with a big appetite, and what happens when said appetite gets entirely out of control.

Business model middle ground

In the open Sunday thread Void expressed his opinion that most MMORPGs either cost $15 a month, or are Free2Play, and wondered why there was no middle ground. That seems to be a common enough thought, Syp from Bio Break just posted about Cryptic games not being worth $15 per month and suggested they go Free2Play instead

Social Differences in Raiding

The following occurred as I was talking with a friend about raiding and how there’s a difficult balance between doing necessary content and content people want to do. It’s a balance of needs, wants and social structure that’s much different than just playing the game by yourself. (1:41:43 AM) Paradox : It’s a game.


Suggestions for Cataclysm

Now that the Lich King is out and with guilds actively working on Heroic mode Lich King in 25s, people are starting to look ahead with more urgency towards the impending Cataclysm release. We have already been hearing rumors and tidbits for weeks now. The complete overhaul of stats, talents and class balance changes stand to reinvent WoW for the 3rd time over.


Pointless Filler Post is Pointless

I hate so very many things. Illogical hatred, the kind of hatred that simply consumes your entire mind in an instant inferno of indescribable rage. A rage that, if it was in a game and possessed a tooltip, would say “ATYAGI*)(&!B %GBH!@HB DAGUDY!!!JDH KAHF@NF”.

WoW Patch 3.3.3 Honor and PvP Changes

There’s a lot going down in Patch 3.3.3 I haven’t really covered so far in regards to PvP and specifically my favorite feature – Battlegrounds. All of this is in preparation of the massive PvP overhaul coming in Cataclysm with a heavier emphasis on Battlegrounds. Tokens are being removed from the game, if you have tokens (the currency you get when you win or lose any BG) you’ll be able to turn those in now for a minor chunk of honor, which is a good thing I guess since there are some players out there with thousands of marks of honor

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.
