How To: Fool for Love 2010 Acheivements

How To: Fool for Love 2010 Acheivements

Blizzard has made the event essentially, idiot proof. So obviously I had a hard time with it but through my many epic failures I’ve learned a few things of which I will now pass on to you my little zygotes.
You can get everything you need with Love Tokens. It’s the new currency for the event. [...]

Daily Fap: Veronica Gomez (NSFW)

Daily Fap: Veronica Gomez (NSFW)

So anybody who knows me, see the company I keep at home, and reads more than a few sentences of my site all know that I have 2 major weaknesses: breasts and tattoos. Since I won’t post pictures of my wife on here, I’m left with the alternative. Enter Veronica Gomez.
HEY THERE IF YOU DIDN’T [...]

Auction House & Armory Integration with mobile app.

Auction House & Armory Integration with mobile app.

I’ve been asking for it for a long time now, so have you guys it seems. Blizzard announced today that they’re in development (and making the announcement means that they’ve been working on it and now have more to show) in a means to integrate WoW’s auction house and armory (maybe mail too?) into the [...]

The Fall of the Lich King

The Fall of the Lich King

I don’t have much to say here that I haven’t already said in the FTL podcast or via Twitter. Blizzard is still number one, and come Cataclysm they will remind the world of that truth.
UPDATE: Changed the video to another upload. If Blizzard pulls this down again there’s not much else I can do.

FTL Podcast Drunk Tank Round 2!

FTL Podcast Drunk Tank Round 2!

Every 10 episodes me and the guys from For the Lore have decided to get hammered and run the show with little to no direction. Last time we had a lot of audience influence and this time apparently we have a designated driver int he form a guest host from the audience on the air [...]

APB Music Editor Introduced in latest Podcast.

APB Music Editor Introduced in latest Podcast.

This alone will end up consuming a lot of my time simply because its a lot of fun. I love this stuff, I eat it up. Matter of fact it reminds me a lot of an old program I had for making tracks called eJay (many many years ago) but the idea in itself is [...]

Season 8 Arena Gear Official Preview

Season 8 Arena Gear Official Preview

With the next Arena season just around the corner, we’d like to give you a preview of the new season 8 armor sets, designed to strike fear into the hearts of your opponents in battle. I’m still a fan of the PvP gear being designed as if there was a logical progression in it’s power. [...]

Dragoon memories from FFXI

Dragoon memories from FFXI

The Dragoon (or Dragon Knight or Lancer) has to be my all-time favorite class/character. I’d like to see the class archetype be used in more than just Final fantasy games, but for what it’s worth I had some of the best times of my life with my DRG in Final Fantasy XI Online.
The class itself [...]

Bioshock 2 PC Requirements & DRM Scaling

Bioshock 2 PC Requirements & DRM Scaling

Rapture is coming very soon, within the next two weeks I’ll be sinking myself deep into the world of Bioshock 2 as subject Delta. Good news for us PC gamers are the system requirements for Bioshock 2 aren’t that insane and yet the recommended and optimal settings are still going to be amazing. The biggest [...]

Spooner’s Guide to Heroics: Trial of the Champion

Spooner’s Guide to Heroics: Trial of the Champion

BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
You’ve all been in that one fail group where the tank doesn’t know English, the healer has “lol” in their name and seems wholly overconfident, and your DPS is tanking the trash. Yes that’s right you’ve had to deal with the fucking terrible players and I’m here to provide a simple and idiot-proof guide to [...]

Blizzard’s Dev. Twitter Chat Highlights

Blizzard’s Dev. Twitter Chat Highlights

I’m going to list the whole thing for you guys in a moment but I really only paid attention to a few comments.
Q. If damage and healing is too much per health ratio, then why don’t you have battlegrounds/arenas give a -30% damage/healing debuff?
A. We have been talking about solutions like that. It might feel [...]

WTFSpooner: What’s up for 1st QTR 2010?

WTFSpooner: What’s up for 1st QTR 2010?

So a little update for the sake of updating. I’m still doing occasional news stories here on the site but for the most part there isn’t anything massive going on right now that I want to talk about. Blizzard CMs on the World of Warcraft forums are either boring or very silent, more the latter to be [...]

APB interview with Kitkat & Deum

APB interview with Kitkat & Deum

Well holy shit. I’m finding it pretty hard to find a coherent way of saying this but I’ll try. On Monday the 18th (basically after this coming weekend) I along with joe and Roger from our For the Lore podcast will be interviewing Lead Creative Designer Stephen “Kitkat” Hewitt and Community Manager Chris “Deum” Collins from [...]

Daily Fapp: Feelin’ Blue?

Daily Fapp: Feelin’ Blue?

It’s been scientifically proven that men who look at breasts on a regular basis lead longer, healthier, and happier lives. The 2010 AVN Awards Show is taking place in Las Vegas this weekend at The Palms Casino Resort. I reckon with the growing depression in finances and other issues (shedding off 2009’s funk); a look at the biggest, roundest, [...]

No Sanctuary Towns in Cataclysm

No Sanctuary Towns in Cataclysm

A while ago the topic of some buzz on this site was my ranting that the visceral warfare in WoW had become really bland if not completely extinct and the majority of the game was being centered around carebear PvE content with little to no support for themed PvP in battlegrounds or messy and fun [...]

5man Heroic Renovations Coming Soon

5man Heroic Renovations Coming Soon

The undisputed success of Blizzard’s renovation and changes to the Oculus heroic have opened the gate for more changes and nerfs to existing 5man dungeons. I like to make these little deductions, when they first made the change to Oculus I said it was probably a litmus test to see how far they could go [...]

Recent in-game changes nerf HoR and ICC dungeons.

Recent in-game changes nerf HoR and ICC dungeons.

I will admit that Halls of Reflection wasn’t that bad but it was getting to the point of calling bullshit when you got a wave spawn having a Priest, 2 Mages, a Merc (Rogue), and a Footman (Warrior)  pretty much untankable and going bat-shit-crazy on your party over and over again. I haven’t yet stepped [...]

Getting up to Speed with Starcraft 2

Getting up to Speed with Starcraft 2

There’s way too much to cover in one shot so consider this the first in a possible series of posts. I’ll do my best to tack on more information later on but please consider the massive expanse that is the Starcraft universe. Let’s just cover the fallout of the events in Starcraft: Brood War and [...]

The Daily Fapp: Sir Mixalot is my Messiah

The Daily Fapp: Sir Mixalot is my Messiah

There are few songs in existence that invoke an undeniable urge for me to sing along – especially when I know every word and tone like I write the damn thing. Anyway let’s be honest, when guys see a girl walking past it’s inevitable and the rear is noticed, inspected, and probably dropped into the [...]
