Two different issues in one post

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 07:45:00 +0000

I was listening to the Twisted Nether Blogcast this morning and found myself thinking about one thing. And later on when I read the comments on the last few days postings about micro transactions and paying separately for different content I noticed that I could combine these two into a single ...

Blizzard’s pet theory on microtransactions.

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 14:32:34 +0000

The argument for paladin stances

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 14:32:34 +0000

Righteous Defense lays out an intriguing argument for an idea that I still personally can't get behind: paladin stances. The recent changes around patch 3.3 have shined a light on paladin versatility, and basically, paladins are forced to pay the hybrid tax three times over -- because they ...

This isn't a very technologically advanced game, and it's originality or style can be debated till the sun goes down and up again. I didn't get into doing this to shift paradigms or revolutionize anything. I see ...

And boy, does Dragon Age : Origins have a great story! Well, good enough that I can't stop playing, even to do my Sons of Hodir in WoW, which I'm like three days away from getting to exalted (and then never doing again). Funny that the biggest rewards in WoW are always of the "Well, I'll ...
