WoW Moviewatch: Inventing Swear Words 4

Today’s WoW Moviewatch is a tiny indulgence for me. If you’ve not heard, I got married yesterday. (Yesterday as of the time this post was published.) I share everything in my life with my beloved bride, even WoW machinima. The videos created by the machinima community are wonderful things to watch as a couple. Like [...]

Around Azeroth: An army of one

We’ve gotten several submissions this weekend of the newest gold seller tactic. Dead body graffiti is apparently old school now — the latest trend is armies of identical gold sellers, spelling out the name of a site, marching in formation around Stormwind/Orgrimmar.

Breakfast Topic: The Personal Aesthetic

All the World’s a Stage: What’s love got to do with it

Character roleplay tends to be rooted in fundamental human emotions. Rage, fear, friendship, curiousity, and hope are all well within the spectrum of your character’s feelings. And without getting into a bunch of sophomore psychology, I’d argue that all these emotions are fairly key to hitting the difference between a believable character. Without acknowledging [...]

Is Blizzard on Team Conan?

Everyone seems to be weighing in on the new late night wars between Conan and Leno — I’m firmly on Team Conan. Leno and his chin have had their time in the spotlight, they can take themselves elsewhere. And according to the launcher screen Blizzard might be siding with Conan, too.
