A collection of Oddities, Rants, and other funny things about the World of Warcraft
Well, with Legion just around the corner and the movie all abuzz across the internets (Good and bad), I figured it was time to take a look back at the latest expansion of the World of Warcraft and share my thoughts on what it did right and what it did wrong. Garrisons: Garrisons were one… Read More Looking Back at Warlords of Draenor
“I’m going to make my OWN Horde. With blackjack. And hookers.” – Garrosh Hellscream, probably.

To find out… Read More Welcome to the TRUE Horde! Garrosh Hellscream Plays Democracy 3
If there’s one thing we nerds enjoy, it’s canon. Is this canonical? Is that? Is my OTP canonical? How does X fit into the canon? One need not look any further than the reaction to the announcement that the Star Wars Expanded Universe being retired into the Legends label to see how much a concise… Read More Odditorial: On the Perceived Permanence of Lore
So, apparently WoW Insider is no longer a thing. Shut down by AOL along with Massively and several other gaming blog sites.

Believe it or not, enthusiasm comes fairly easy to me. A well cut together trailer will do the trick without incident. Some good news or an awesome character design can spur my wheels to pre-order. Heck, one glance at the Crusader on the character creation screen and a mere hour playing with Loot 2.0 not… Read More Vry versus The World (Of Warcraft)

They were just coming Soon(tm) and then we were shelved because we didn’t feel the reward of reading those posts was worth the time investment in developing them. CAN YOU TELL I’VE… Read More Blizzcon 2013 Reactions

With my recent return to Star Wars: The Old Republic, I keep finding myself mentally comparing things to World of Warcraft. I have no ill feelings toward WoW in my heart, and it still stands as a fun game. In fact, I will be one of the first to defend Mists of Pandaria in a… Read More The Hero of Your Own Story
It’s been just over a year since World of Warcraft died. Or at least that’s what people on the forum tell me. I can still log in it seems, and I see people running around.
