Addon Pick of the Week - Bejeweled

This new, regular feature will cover addons I find cool, useful or exciting each week. I’ll try to pick one or two addons that stand out and give a brief rundown of what they do and where to get them.
Bejeweled
The first lucky addon is an official version of Bejeweled. That’s right, as if you weren’t [...]

Why I’m Excited For Wrath

With around 6 weeks to go until WotLK launches, it’s interesting watching how playing behaviour has changed.
The Auction House is a lot emptier than usual and people don’t appear to be raiding as often, although those folk who are doing T6 content won’t appear to be replacing their gear in Northrend until 79-80.
There is a [...]

Enjoying Warcraft Again

Well the headline says it all, but I am indeed enjoying playing in the World of Warcraft again.
I’m enjoying levelling up Twigleaf so much that I’m already pre-planning what the next alt I intend to level will be.
Now that Wrath has a release date, November 13th 2008, I have a definite time frame to work [...]

Patch 3.0.2 - The Wrath Pre-Patch

So, patch 3.0.2 has gone into testing on the Public Test Realm (PTR). Patch 3.0.2 is what has become known as the Wrath Pre-Patch. It’s intended to bring those with WoW original and Burning Crusade up to the baseline of Wrath content.
Basically, any changes that affect everyone, regardless of if they own Wrath of the [...]

Spore - My Thoughts

So, Spore has been hailed as the next coming in god games. The ability to create a creature at the cell level and watch it evolve into a space-faring race sounds pretty revolutionary too, but is it any good?
I love Spore, I think it’s a great game, but it does have it’s problems.

As you no [...]

Google Chrome - My Thoughts

As you probably know, Google have released a beta of their contender for the browser wars crown called Google Chrome. I’ve been using Chrome for a few hours now so I thought I’d give my hastily-formed opinion of what I think so far.
Chrome has a nice straightforward and fast install, it picks up your IE or [...]

Demoscene Still Alive?

I’ve been a long-time fan of the demoscene, not exactly hardcore, as my math skills suck but I admire and respect the folk that manage to squeeze so much out of hardware. For those who don’t know what a “demo” is, they are essentially an aural and visual creation, much like a music video, except [...]

The Continuing Saga…

… of Simon and MMOs.
I’m actually in a strange place right now as I haven’t really been playing anything all that much over these last few days, bitting and bobbing with Guild Wars, Maple Story and even popping into WoW now and then.
During my last foray into WoW I left the guild I was in [...]
