6.60 brings some seriously amazing items to the game that take the skill cap up a notch.


Item focus:

The Force Staff



For 2200g you get a seriously imba escape item, ganking item and  support item. The way it works is it has around 500 range and pushes ANY unit 500 units in the direction its currently facing.

I managed to finish it just as the replay below ended unluckily so I cant show off some initial ideas for the item. But, after some quick practice with it, it can be cast on allies with great a…  More

Week four of the ESL TV invitational is upon us and this week we have some rather special games in the pipeline.

Our focus over the course of this exclusive invite only tournament has been entirely PvP as we shift away from our normal dosage of everything WoW. But fear not, the normal show format will be back in a few weeks after our feast of competitive PvP comes to a close.

The teams in action this week will be util…  More

 

Today I am going to venture out on a limb to take a slightly different approach to my blog; I am going to put up some music for your listening enjoyment. I want to preface my comments by acknowledging that my tastes are probably a little different than many of yours even though I enjoy just about everything from folk to rap to metal - but here is what I have found myself listening to the most lately.

 

A quick side note: I enjoy live performances more than studio versions of songs. Unfortunately,…  More

It is incredibly hard for me to sit down with a "traditional" genre novel (fantasy or sci-fi) and get enjoyment out of it.  Something has to grab my attention in a unique way for me to really sit down and finish the entire novel, much less an entire series, as many genre novels are.

6.60 is out!
Expect some quick bug fixes and 6.61 will be out either tomorrow or the day after.

Thanks for the great feedback on the last blog.

I'll try and play around with the formatting and give a wider variety of tips going on for the whole player base. I'm thinking of incorporating some kind of basic and advanced tip.

German DotA better than expected. I knew the Germans pumped out a lot of good players across the board in eSports but national teams tend to be weak against mixed teams which ca…  More

Hello everyone, I'm SunBhie@US.East.  I have been invited to contribute to this blog.  I had lack of motivation last time.  But this time, I'm actually on a schedule and deadline.. so, maybe this will motivate me further to continue blogging.  Hopefully I can be a good addition to this blog without tearing down the quality of the content.

I had some kind of agenda with this entry when I first made the draft. This was written long ago for my previous blog.  I added little more to it, and I think …  More

My golf game was atrocious yesterday, I really need to get out and play more.  Hence I am going again today.    I only watered two shots, coulda been worse I guess.  I promise tonight's Epic Drop is much easier to swallow then watching me golf.  Enjoy the stories and +1 Zack Morris!

NPR has a story on female employee for Halliburton who was raped repeatedly in Iraq by coworkers yet is on the outside looking in when it comes to justice.  Unfortunately her contract with Halliburton basically had …  More

Another ploy by another company to try to lure players into a game under the pretense that they will be able to compete without using their "DDO Store" and the "VIP Program".  I don't see why they don't just come out and say that there is a subscription cost to play the game and actually attempt to bring in a player-base by bringing a "quality" MMO experience from the D&D background.

If we've learned anything from past experiences of MMOs that use online 'Shops' for players to send actual mon…  More

Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is Moby Dick for us Valve and Gordon Freeman fans.  News regarding the game has been as scarce with only a few teaser images since the release of Episode 2, some of which you can see below.  I decided to toss together a slight refresher on the game via this wishlist.  There are a few plots questions below.  On top of that there are a handful of gameplay requests and mechanics issues covered too.  I hope you enjoy the list and be sure to offer up your own requests regarding…  More

 

This weekend it’s time for Dreamhack Summer  and they are for the first time organizing their own WoW tour. The bracket is of course 3vs3 and besides a lot of unknown teams, there are some quite interesting teams participating. The 4 most outstanding teams are:

SK.eu (Orly, Another, Xom)
Ensidia (Hydra, Kalimist, Redkoala)
Gingi the Great (Reliza, Lykke and Ghingis).

 

iNNERFiRE won the ESL Continental Finals in Hannover, but after that we haven’t seen much o…  More

It was the news that never came at this year's E3.  Everyone who is interested in picking up Sony's black monolith waited anxiously to no avail.  Sony delivered on the software front, certainly, but the lack of a price cut was one of the few complaints we had about their conference. 

The good news is the latest rumors have the pigskin holiday, aka Madden day, aka take the week off of work, possibly bringi…  More

I stand here today as the last line of defense for Retribution Paladins everywhere against the relentless onslaught of unfair and prejudiced hotfixes they continue to receive, which have now placed them at the very top of the "most nerfed classes in the history of WoW" list.

 

The backbone of the argument is simple: Vindication barely had any impact on PVP in the first place because it's not like it "removed" health or actually did any damage; after it is applied, the target is still at 100% healt…  More

Now there is no lie in the fact that the Death Knights has been optimized for a lot of situations in WoW where other classes have had problems. Including the arena.

Now I know most of us don't even bother trying to get changes in arena these days since the developers usually don't have a clue on what's going on, but looking closer at the DK, one can suspect otherwise.

Now I don't know if this is because Kalgan was still present during the DK development, or if there was some other persons that rec…  More
