Left 4 Dead 2 Review

Left 4 Dead 2 Review

I reviewed Left 4 Dead 2 and put the video up on the internet, by all means give it a watch and leave some feedback.
I’d rate the game as a definite buy if you like FPS games and happen to enjoy zombies in any capacity. There are other shooters out there now that are competitive [...]

Starcraft 2 New Media Blowout!

New Artwork
New Screenshots
New Hero – Tychus Findlay
Hero – Zeratul (Redone)
Hero – Jim Raynor (Redone)
Legacy of War – Multiplayer Preview

Milking the Lich King

Milking the Lich King

That title sounds pretty fucking gross, but then again I’m sure there’s a fanboy or girl out there fantasizing about having frostbite on their hoo-hoo. This post is actually about a big statement released by Blizzard with all the details for how the Icecrown raid progression is going to work. The short version: You won’t [...]

Something you’ll never have: Shadowmourne

Something you’ll never have: Shadowmourne

In keeping up with news and shit and items I’ll probably never see in my lifetime, Blizzard has released a little diddy on the latest and possibly last Legendary item for Wrath of the Lich King.
I first saw this legendary hunter weapon (joke) at Blizzcon earlier this year (2009) and since then have been wondering [...]

The Daily Fap: Why can’t my LAN party be this awesome?

The Daily Fap: Why can’t my LAN party be this awesome?

So I’m actually going to a LAN party being hosted by some very close friends after Thanksgiving (expect video footage if I can get the lighting right) and I know for a fact it won’t be like this one. Scored these images off the internet and thought to myself, LAN parties around here usually [...]

My heart’s in Left 4 Dead 2

My heart’s in Left 4 Dead 2

Most wouldn’t consider the Left 4 Dead franchise to be a work of deep story at first glance. But ask anybody who’s played the game for a while and they can recite quotes from the main characters like second nature.
I can say with 100% confidence that some of the best atmosphere in any game I’ve [...]

Pity the Fools! Night Elf Mohawk grenade in WoW

Pity the Fools! Night Elf Mohawk grenade in WoW

‘You gotta choice, Jack. You can watch Mr. T’s new TV commercial…or you can HURT.’ Mr. T, outraged that any fools would doubt his hacking skills, has returned to World of Warcraft to show off his latest invention in a series of nationally televised ads. Watch them here first at Blizzard’s YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/worldofwarcraft) or [...]

Baron Soosdon: Looking Back No More

Baron Soosdon: Looking Back No More

Long time readers of my site know I have a man-crush on Baron Soosdon. The guy is funny and possibly the most talented person I’ve ever seen. His work always strikes gold and there isn’t a single piece of his machinima that doesn’t entertain me. It helps as always that we have downright identical taste [...]

JACE HALL!

JACE HALL!

So Jace Hall’s one of those internet superstar types that also has a sense of humor, plays the role of executive producer for great games and great TV alike. You want to be Jace Hall. JACE HALL.
Jace Hall had the chance to interview Tom Chilton (Kalgan), J. Allen Brack, and Jeffrey Kaplan (Tigole) and got [...]

An honest review of Aion after 7 weeks

An honest review of Aion after 7 weeks

I want to ask you guys a completely opnion based question here. There are no right or wrong answers, just feel free to voice how you feel about this issue. Aion. I stopped playing for three reasons.

1) I don’t have the time to dedicate to a game like Aion as it’s entirely way too grindy [...]

Icecrown: Halls of Reflection Patch 3.3 PTR

Icecrown: Halls of Reflection Patch 3.3 PTR

Teza over at WoWraid posted up a really good video of the typical playthrough on the last wing of the new 5-man Dungeons coming in WoW Patch 3.3. This video contains heavy spoilers with major lore characters so don’t go bitching to me for ruining your story.

With Jaina and Sylvanas leading the way, adventurers who [...]

Somebody just got fired in Las Vegas

Somebody just got fired in Las Vegas

Be it in Las Vegas or Anchorage Alaska, I’ll be going to Blizzcon in 2010 and I’ll be bringing one of you with me. It’s become somewhat of a tradition here at Spooncraft and I for one plan on seeing it through. It seems however that the Las Vegas Convention Center folks sent an email [...]

Blizzcon 2010: Come Party with Spooner in Las Vegas!

Blizzcon 2010: Come Party with Spooner in Las Vegas!

So I was asked if I was giving away another ticket to the next Blizzcon. I said “yes if they have one in 2010″. Well according to the Las Vegas Convention Center website and WoW.com’s original break, Blizzcon is going down on July 30 and 31st and they’re hosting the event. Blizzard has yet to [...]

Diablo 3’s missing 5th Class…

Diablo 3’s missing 5th Class…

Well we have yet to be told what the final class is but for what it’s worth an idea came to me this afternoon I wanted to put down to written (typed?) word in the hopes that maybe somebody at Blizzard will take note. Though I really fucking doubt anybody from Blizzard reads this website.
Anyway, [...]

Greyfoo: The Pally DPS Song

Greyfoo: The Pally DPS Song

I got an email from a very good friend of mine whom I haven’t heard from in a long while. When I used to play primarily Alliance on Eredar (which is where I will be as Alliance when I pickup WoW again next year) we had a guild called Rejected, I met this one mage [...]

APB: An innovation in the MMO world

APB: An innovation in the MMO world

I’ve been seeing a lot of different MMOs over the past 2 years crop up and fall to shit simply because there’s no innovation. Everything seems to be copying the same model and trying to throw own different little gimmicks that don’t ever mesh well with the trinity of MMORPGs (Healers, Tanks, DPS). I won’t [...]

New WoW LFG Tool Explained

New WoW LFG Tool Explained

I caught this video over at WoWRaid and I tip my hate to Teza for putting it up. The new system looks really solid and seems to be the perfect solution for cutting away more of the time sink wastes and getting groups up and running faster. Sure there isn’t a filter for bad players [...]

The Daily Fap: School’s back in session

The Daily Fap: School’s back in session

I have nothing clever or awesome to say here. But let’s just take a moment and remember high-school. Those were some of the most haze filled and debaucherous times of my life, nothing made those 4 years pass by quicker than the unbelievably hot girls that attended my school. Hell we didn’t have a uniform [...]

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, I love Gearbox

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, I love Gearbox

I love Gearbox, and I love Borderlands. Good fun even if the PC versions are downright getting the whole ass to mouth treatment with multi-player. I know for a fact that on the consoles, Borderlands is destroying right now.
Here’s a direct quote posted by one of the official forum mods. You won’t see this kind [...]

The Deathknell for WAR

The Deathknell for WAR

Well I can say now that WAR has been officially shit-canned.
Mythic was hit recently with about 80 layoffs reducing their development team by almost half. This news was rumored and confirmed earlier this week and personally, I’m thinking that WAR’s servers will be done sometime soon. The game itself never really held any appeal for [...]
