World of Warcraft and Being "In-The-Know" Pt.3

Welcome back to my "In-The-Know" World of Warcraft series.

Today I'm going to address "PvP Information". There isn't too much on the net about pvp that'll make you a pro. Learning PvP is actually quite tricky and the best way to get good at it is practice.

However i will throw some links at you that will make the process a little easier.

RIS: Fail Teddy Bear or Win Scary Bear?

This'll be my first Random Internet Sighting (RIS) in a potentially endless series.

So far the general opinion of this is that it is indeed a Fail Teddy Bear.

I have gotten responses like "F that is scary. Thats like little kids have nightmares for 10 years after seein that."

Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments section.

World of Warcraft and Being "In-The-Know" Pt.2

Welcome back to my "In-The-Know" World of Warcraft series.

Today I'm going to address "non-live game information".

You know that guy who hops on guild chat and starts spouting ZOMG ROGUES IZ GET AXES NEXT PATCH. Ever wonder how they get the infos before the patch even hits?

World of Warcraft and Being "In-The-Know"

This will be a multi-part series feauturing sites i've found that'll help you keep up on WoW and WoW related information to the max.

First up is http://www.wowhead.com/ .

The first site that'll prevent responses in general chat like "The answer to your problem is google." Saving much face and providing natural e-peen enhancement.

This is your item info site. Can find drop rates, who drops it, where the monster is that drops it.

Digging out the Funny Bone

This will be the first in a series of articles i plan to write regarding entertaining websites.

Looking for a few laughs? Look no further then the Internet. The first website on my list is http://www.ebaumsworld.com/.

Think of it as YouTube but with a more filtered level of content aiming more towards humor rather than the random gibberish you may find on YouTube. They have a lot of funny content. My favorites being videos of

Kanye West and Taylor Swift at VMA's

So by now everyone has heard of the Kanye West and Taylor Swift debacle at the Video Music Awards. The videos of this are going mad viral on YouTube right now and im only so happy to contribute to this epidemic. Video below:



This isn't the only time Kanye West has decided to make an ass of himself. Here is a video of him talking about the hurricane in New Orleans, skip to 75% to hear the best part.



Im starting to think he needs to hire someone to keep him in line where the public eye won't see him as such a douche. I like some of his music too hopefully Kanye West will have learned his lesson by now.

Windows 7, Cheap for Students.

Not everyone browses the net on a Windows based OS but most do.

So how cheap? $29.99. The catch of course is that your college / university has to qualify. Click here if you are interested. Us mere mortals will have to shell out in the range of $99 - $130 for the home edition, but i believe its worth it.

Diablo II 1.13 Patch Release Date, Soon! Again...

My opinion is that this patch is going to be a huge let down.

You can probably tell by now I'm a fan of Blizzard games. Who isn't though. Their games are generally well designed and focused on game play and quality control. Yes, the things that actually make a game fun for more then an hour, rather than pretty eye candy.

Consider this though, Diablo II has been out for 9 years and the expansion 8 years. Gaming development and what attracts potential players is very different now from 8 years ago. Many games have set a higher bar in standards for what a gamer should expect out of game. Ironically largely set by World of Warcraft, a game also from Blizzard.

Internet Addiction?

Yes, according to this article
Its a real problem.

I find it hard to believe someone might actually be addicted to the Internet itself but am very aware of addiction to MMO's, and video games.

I have some experience with this myself. Once upon a time in high school i played a game called Everquest. Long story short i dropped out and decided to home school so i can play more. I had 48 hour leveling sessions just so i could level faster and impress online friends. I played MMO's starting at age 13 and am now 23. After playing for about 7 years or so i literally got bored. That is how i got over my addiction. I discovered life is kinda frigging wonderful outside of the computer room. Self discipline helped me shape

The End of the World... of Warcraft?

NOTE: Information regarding the status of WoTLK in China has changed since the writing of this article.

Being a casual raider since the launch of the money making machine that is World of Warcraft, i can safely say I've experienced the game to it's present entirety.

However a question has come up a few times on several forums lately. For how much longer can it be on top?

"Aion is the WoW killer."



This has been said quite a few times now, although other games with hyped launches have received this label. The difference is that this time it stands a good chance. This is all largely speculation by myself, but hear me out.

Surprisingly not many people know that WoTLK still hasn't launched in China due to a largely undead expansion, which is taboo supposedly for them. I'm sure by now many Chinese subscribers are getting fed up with WoW because of this and are moving on to other games. Aion is likely to be the most appealing at

The Internets, Source of Good and Evil

The internets, a major stepping stone in mankinds evolution. Many evils and LoLs wouldn't exist today if it weren't for Al Gore's greatest invention.

From viral videos, to russian bride services, the internet is an amazing super-beast of entertainment, community connectivity and information overload.

Future posts will contain what you need to know on the net for those who need to be in "the-know".
