Do You Really Need a Guide For WoW Dailies?

MD Weems — Wed, 25 May 2011 18:47:33 +0000

I consider myself to be a relative expert of almost all things to do with World of Warcraft. That’s why, when I saw this new dailies and events guide, I was pretty surprised. I mean, I can understand a few people maybe wanting a WoW Dailies guide to help them, but the guide seemed very popular.

That got me thinking a bit. At first I thought, I’ve been playing WoW since it was in beta, so I know almost everything there is to know about dailies and events – but what about newer players, or players who just aren’t as hardcore as me? After a while, I was just too curious to stand it anymore.

So, after deciding to just give Zygor’s Dailies & Events Guide a shot (I wasn’t expecting much at all), I was in for a rather big surprise. I was completing dailies faster than I ever had before – and I’m an expert! Once I picked up my trampled ego off the floor, I was pretty impressed. I mean, I was doing things in only a few minutes what used to take me an hour, or more, to complete.

Now, I’m the proud owner of full heirloom item sets for all classes and I got my Crusader title faster than I thought was possible. All in all, I use Zygor’s guide every day, and if you are looking to do dailies and get heirloom items and your Crusader title really fast, this guide is not a bad investment.

Darkmoon Faire Fun On The WoW Website

MD Weems — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 16:10:03 +0000

I’ll admit that I don’t always take a gander at the World of Warcraft website to find out what’s going on and then look like a noob in game when I ask something stupid. I have a feeling that there are more of you out there like I am, simply log in and go – without knowing the latest news. So, to help you out, here is one sweet change to the WoW website that you simply must see: the Darkmoon Faire site that will allow you to do some extremely fun things.

At the top of this screen, you will notice several different buttons. All of these are interactive features that will let you do several different things. The first, Azeroth’s Fortune, will give you the opportunity to discover your fortune by choosing three cards. Once you choose them, you will see what the cards are, and discover your fate. This is a fun little game and you can play it over and over, even picking the same three cards each time will give you a new fortune every time. It’s fun. Of course, everything has something to do with Cataclysm.

The next one, Discover Your Destiny, will allow you to choose your faction, then go through a test of 10 questions that will help you discover your true inner class. Now, you have to pay attention to the questions and the different answers at the bottom. Normally, I do these things and they are nowhere near the class I actually play or what I really like in the game. Here’s the funny thing about this one: I have played a Warlock in WoW since 2006 and was really amazed that is what my destiny came out as. Pretty cool if you ask me! Of course, I didn’t do it twice – go for it and see what your true destiny in game is…

Then, you have the image contest and the video contest. These are fun to check out, and you can choose your faction, then share and like the ones that you like the best. When you do, you’ll gain points for your faction that will show on the sliding scale on the main page. As of right now, the Horde is in the lead – only barely though – For the Horde! You can also upload your own images and videos to the site for a chance at winning as well. There are so

If you haven’t checked out this cool interactive area on the WoW site, then you are really missing out. Make sure that you do and that you don’t miss out on any of the sweet fun that can be had here.

Beyond Sweet Costumes At BlizzCon 2010

MD Weems — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 17:34:25 +0000

If you are like me and couldn’t make it to BlizzCon, then you probably are in love with the pictures that come out every year after the gala is over. Pictures of some extremely awesome costumes, those that should never have been worn in public, and some that just make you go “what the hell is that?”. Well, they’ve finally released the pictures from BlizzCon 2010 and if you haven’t checked them out yet, something is wrong with you.

Now, I’ll warn you, there are plenty of pages to go through, but this year, the vast majority of the costumes are beyond sweet. In fact, you’ll even find twin Val’kyrs here, that even have full scale wings that work to open and close when needed. Want to know who won the BlizzCon costume contest and what they wore? You’ll find it here too.

Check out the super sweet costumes that you might have missed here: BlizzCon Photo Gallery on Yahoo! Games.

Blood Bowl Legendary Edition Unveils the High Elf Team with New Images!

MD Weems — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:13:14 +0000

One week before its release, Blood Bowl Legendary Edition unveils the High Elf team, the last of the 11 new playable races in the game. These players are as cocky as they are formidable – find them in Blood Bowl Legendary Edition on October 28th on PC!

Known for having one of the best passing games of all Blood Bowl teams, High Elves also have some of the most arrogant players around. Taking advantage of their natural agility, they play an efficient passing game thanks to top-class quarterbacks and receivers. Attract opponents to one corner of the pitch and then send the ball to the opposite side with precision. Better equipped than the other Elf teams, High Elves still only have a few players who can take a hit – they’re just as fragile and vulnerable as any other Elf when facing an enraged Ogre!

About Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition

A brutal team sport unfolding in a fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl is an incredible, brutal game in which no holds are barred as you lead your team to the Blood Bowl final! Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition is the ultimate Blood Bowl edition! 11 new playable races join the 9 races already available in the 2009 edition: Undead, Amazon, Ogres and 9 other races enter Blood Bowl’s tournaments. All 20 races have their personal style, tactics and unique skills which give each game a diversity rarely seen in a strategy game. New and more impressive stadiums welcome all these new teams: from the snowy Norse stadium to the creepy interior of a crypt, a change of scenery is guaranteed!

A new Story mode is also introduced, in which players will play as a freelance coach. They will have to lead several famous teams and take up many challenges through a story revealing the origins of Blood Bowl, the Old World and its many races that relentlessly compete with each other in merciless games. A newly scripted tutorial will teach all new comers everything they need to know about coaching a Blood Bowl team! In order to stay as close as possible to the official rules, many additions and updates have been made to better match the latest Blood Bowl Rulebook, used in all official board game official tournaments.

Darryl’s Story: A Cautionary Tale for Online & Social Gamers

MD Weems — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 03:44:28 +0000

Gamers Advocating Fiscal Responsibility (GAFR), an upstart organization devoted to raising awareness of the impact of credit card debt on social gamers, today released the trailer to the first of its member confessionals, “Darryl’s Story,” available on GAFR’s official webpage www.gafr.tv. The confessional is an interview with Darryl Agman, an individual whose love of online social games led to the maxing out of his credit cards and the erosion of his fiscal stability. Darryl is an ideal candidate for GAFR’s awareness program; he speaks candidly about the impact of bad credit on his life. A crumbling marriage as the result of boundless virtual goods expenditures became Darryl’s reality. With this short documentary, GAFR hopes to raise awareness and provide support to social gamers worldwide who struggle to keep their expenditures in line with their financial means.

“Gift a man a fish; you’ve satisfied his daily cap. Teach a man some fiscal responsibility; you’ve cleaned up his credit for a lifetime,” said GAFR director and spokesperson, Jeff Jones. “In time, people will learn to control their virtual goods spending – we’re here to help.”

Social networking and online gaming have captured the hearts and minds of millions, but what happens when crop-harvesting and barn-building are placed on deferred payment schedules, becoming a costly and ruinous habit? GAFR lets social gamers stop mortgaging their real future at the expense of their virtual world.

About GAFR (Gamers Advocating Fiscal Responsibility)

Gamers Advocating Fiscal Responsibility (GAFR) is a consortium of avid video gamers and game publishers who want to promote healthy and positive spending habits for online game players.

Based in Los Angeles, GAFR was formed in early 2010, in response to awareness that some online game players were abusing credit cards in order to play their favorite games. Not only does this credit card abuse damage credit scores, it also damages lives. Online gaming is a fun activity for the whole family and, and like anything else, should be played in a responsible manner.

What Is A Browser Based MMORPG?

MD Weems — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:42:50 +0000

Another type of MMORPG that is becomming very popular are the browser based games. What are these? According to Wikipedia, browser based MMORPG’s are “a computer game that is played over the Internet using a web browser. Browser games can be created and run using standard web technologies or browser plug-ins. Browser games include all video game genres and can be single-player or multiplayer. Browser games are also portable and can be played on multiple different devices or web browsers.”

The great thing about these MMORPG games is that you normally don’t have to download anything at all to play them. Instead, you can simply play them on your browser without having to wait for anything at all. Some of the most popular browser based games include Seafight and some of the ones on Facebook right now. Most of these have decent graphics, and many of them are free to play, making them excellent “starter” games for those not familiar with the MMORPGs like WoW and other huge games that are popular right now.

There are so many of these out there that it can be hard to find the right one to play. So, to help you out, we’ve collected a list of the different browser based MMORPG games that are out now and can be fun to play on any browser.

World of Warcraft Gold: Why You Should Buy It Now

MD Weems — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:04:07 +0000

For anyone who plays World of Warcraft, you know that gold can mean the difference between winning and losing, and between walking and riding. Gear and equipment and mounts are not cheap in the game, and they can easily leave you broke. Without World of Warcraft gold, you will find yourself out in the dark when it comes to having the right gear, weapons, and mounts that you need and want. This is where buying gold can come in handy, no matter who you are.

Buying World of Warcraft gold will cost you real money, but right now is a great time to purchase it. With the cheap prices on WoW gold, you can purchase what you need and gain access to all of that raid gear you have been eyeing, those awesome Northrend mounts and cold weather flying, as well as leveling your professions and more. The possibilities are endless when you have the in-game currency to spend on what you really want.

You will find that World of Warcraft gold sites can offer you some extremely cheap prices right now on the amount of gold that you want. You can buy as small as 10 gold and up to 20K gold easily, and have it delivered to you in-game in a face to face transaction. Of course, they offer you other ways to get your gold too, just in case you can’t be in the game right now, such as special auctions that are virtually undetectable.

But why would anyone want to buy World of Warcraft gold? Easy, you can gain all of that great high quality gear in the auction house that you want for raiding or just for getting ahead. You can purchase those enchants you want, that great NR mount, level your professions, and so much more. When you have the gold to purchase anything, it’s hard to get bored with the game. And, when you buy the gold you need, you don’t have to spend months farming it.

Remember that those newer mounts will cost you a ton of gold, sometimes as high as 20K gold. Plus, you have to get all of the training to ride these high level mounts, especially the flying ones. Just purchasing the training can wipe you out, and then you won’t even have money for that awesome mount you want. So, instead, you just purchase the World of Warcraft gold that you need and you will be able to buy everything you want in game.

No matter if you’re just a casual player or a hard core WoWhead, the right amount of World of Warcraft gold will help you in any area and keep you from spending too much time farming and not enough time playing. When you order WoW gold now, you will find that the deals are so good, they are too hard to pass up.
