PC Gaming Is Drowning.  Too Late to Keep It Afloat?
Has piracy ruined PC gaming forever?
2.4.2 ruining everything? Wrath release date! Warhammer Online - Is it good?

With the end of Phase 3 fast approaching I have rescanned the US TR realms, I have ignored the 2v2 and 3v3 data as misleading/irrelevant and will just post the 3v3 chart:

US TR class performance as of 18th May 2008



US TR 3v3 Comparison - 18th May vs 18th April
The following chart show how the class has changed since the 18th April stats, e.g. if a Class was 100% in April and it is now 150% then it will have seen a 50% gain, if it has gone from 100% to 50% Then it will be a -50% gain.

So, Season 4 should be arriving soon-ish, and I've been playing on a Private Server mixing and matching all different types of available mage gear, trying different gems/enchants e.t.c
We sure do get a lot of tasty spell pen gear, makes taking down felpup's for CS-->SS Fel Dom a hella-lot easier, but at the expense of damage, int (and therefore crit), and resilience (wearing all the haste/spell pen gear gives 10 more HP than wearing the spell damage equivalents).
But is it worth it? I'm not ful…

Templars And A Violent Proposal

Yes your initial instinct is to flame me for writing a blog about Assassin's Creed.

Its fairly old news, it was way overhyped, it gets boring after the 50th person you've jumped at wielding nothing but a spoon (actually wait, it doesn't REALLY, i kinda still get a buzz from the fact that I swung off a gurder and stabbed some guys face from about 100ft in the air.
I guess you could say FRAPSMOTHA****A?
You'll see my reasons for mentioning this in a sec.

After my "we don't have a single rogue in top four" article, Valrath from TSG send me a PM and said lock/lock/druid is their fun comp, and their real comp is rogue/lock/druid.  Now Ezmac the TSG rogue had significantly less games played than Valrath the warlock when I read the PM, so it was hard to believe.  I am not sure if TSG tried to make a point, but Ezmac's games played went way up, and their ratings went down 100 points.  What for?  Lock/lock/druid is significantly better than rogue/lock/druid against the majority of the teams out there, if TSG doesn't make top four this would be the equivalent of their choke against SK in BG9 5v5 tourney when a 2-0 lead turned into a 2-3 loss.…

Early on in my stay in Shadowbane, my cousin and a few of our friends created a group of dwarves. Each dwarf was given a first name that rhymed with grumpy, but ended in "mpe". Stumpe, Lumpe, Drumpe, Grumpe, Mumpe, were just a few of the names that belonged to our dwarven group. For our last name, we chose Gibblesticks.

We were loved, and we were hated, but as I created my dwarf this time around I felt as if it would only be appropriate if I gave life to the Gibblesticks name once again.

So, I played Age of Conan beta for all of 25 mins. It was buggy, it ran like pure ass butter (The kind that happens after you eat 2lbs of cheese, and you push out a turd like your giving birth), so I uninstalled it and bashed it to ****.  The game was innovative and pretty sweet baring its ****ty bugs and graphics issues on a majority of every pc. However, I vowed to not play this flaming piece of monkey **** or to ever let its hideous hairy ass-lips touch my computers hard drive again.

So the tournament directors have reversed their previous decision and ARE allowing macros, proving that enough people *****ing about rules CAN actually change them. 3rd party mods are still disallowed, but hey who cares! And I'm flip-flopping and now saying its a good thing.

One month since the last OP-meter because I have been busy, and also didn't expect rankings to change much in that time. Yet they have, although it was very predictable.

Arena statistics are good, but it is hard to sum up the strength of a class from all the rankings, comps and what not. Here is a very simple way: the OP-meter. It is just an average of a class representation in 2200+ teams between 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5.

Since live WoW has been kind of stale with so many people in the Arena Tournament lately, I've been paying a lot more attention to the Gameriot blog competition. For a while it seemed like people who used Digg and wrote about diverse topics (Lipton) or people who actually had some journalistic talent (Roma) were the most likely to come out on top. Yet, more and more this week the blogs that appear to be most looked at are those that present nothing more than shock value.

I'm sure most people saw …

People always ask me: "Roma, how do you stay so slim and trim when you play WoW so much?"  Well, first off it takes a commitment at a minimum equal to what you put into the game.  You don't half ass in the arena, right? Well you can't half ass when it comes to taking care of your body either.  But the bottom line is we casuals lead busy lives, so inevitably we end up sacrificing playtime for time in the gym, or vice versa. But what if you could have both?

Many of you probably already know of Viole, female irl. She has the unique and rare physical capability of licking her own elbow. This gives her a clear advantage in arena. Really though, think it's a coincidence her AP minus her haste rating is ~equal to her 2v2 rating? I don't. I know what's going on here. She makes it all clear in her drawings:










Can you make the patterns? Can you read the message?

So yesterday I reunited with an old friend (Used to run Shadowpriest Warlock on him, did extremely well with the comp) to play some 2's and recover some personal rating. After the point selling fiasco (Which I was only around for 1 week to pull off the amazing profit from) my teams rating was about 600 points above my personal rating.

So we made discipline priest SLSLwarlock, and off we went on our happy day of playing 2's. I quickly realized that there is a problem with this new "Arena balance s…
