We'd fear for our lives if you were going to show up on TV ...

UHM... OK... NOW, ANYWAYS...

Now I want to get that printed onto one of my shirts too! Luckily there's a guy who can do prints just a few hundred meters away...

It's cause they are busy bonesawing everything.

Sadly, people lock themself with buddies into passworded servers and start statspadding for the new achievements. Some have already unlocked every new achievement.

Sounds like a neat idea. Now if I could only gtfo from WoW and back into Hammer...

The entire trailer was an elaborate April Fools joke.

There's a little peice of software called OE-CAKE! that allows you to play around with the physics in a simple way (draw lines), and it's very CPU-intensive.

Been toying around a bit, just made this completely useless odd "machine" , and it's still going:

This is going to be awesome! Looks like Valve have been inspired by games like CoD4 and added unlockable weapons by getting achievements.

And when there's items and NPCs that require you to be Exalted (maxed out reputation) with a faction or several factions to benefit you ... then the grind is getting on your nerves. Thankfully the new faction Shattered Sun Offensive is retardedly easy to get Exalted with, with the dailies and tons of reputation from Magister's Terrace.

Quote from Skjalg

go tank/heal, and start being useful (or reroll another melee dps class like rogue, if you really prefer doing that).

This is exactly why I'll stay Retribution.

*FLASH*

That's cause most of them are BAD at playing with Retribution! Those people makes the rest of us look bad, since they don't value the very important stat called hitrating. If you come to a raid without having your +hit capped (9% for twohanders): gtfo, you're a waste of space. Since I capped mine, I've never seen a single missed swing (unless under the effect of a -hit debuff, such as the aura from Attumen). However you still get dodges and parries but that's pretty much inevitable until you start stacking expertise-rating.

So yes, there is Paladins out there that are good at Retribution, but they usually get left in the dark thanks to those that plain out suck ass. And those are plenty...

Came back to the game in January, and this is what I play now.

Achalita, 70 Draenei Paladin (I am raiding as Retribution! +1% hit racial helps for that purpose):

Iknowbubblfu, 31 Human Paladin, which I first started on my new account but abandoned to roll on my old server again (Defias Brotherhood):

Anchali, 63 Draenei Mage. This character is on my old account, which is now in use by some bloke I've never met. He paid generiouslly for the account though!

My previous main was a 70 Holy Paladin with the best healing-gear on the server at that time. I have not been able to track down where he went to :<

I need money for my WoW-subscription, so while I wait for a certain person to pay up what he owe me, I play and mod Shadowgrounds, and Anno 1701 on occassion :

Yeah odd title I know, but damn this is 12 minutes of pixelated sickness. You've probably seen some of his GIFs.

Computer games will carry cinema-style age ratings to protect children from violent and sexual images, ministers said yesterday.Parents will be advised to take computers out of their children's bedrooms after a report has warned of the potential of the Internet and violent console games to harm children.

Dr Tanya Byron, the television psychologist whose study was commissioned by Gordon Brown, said allowing children to play on computers unsupervised is as dangerous as letting them play outside on their own.

PS: The kids are playing Super Mario Kart 64 on the second picture, how is that related to voilent games?

It's funny Blizzard make tournaments around the most broken element in the game. The balance between classes is just messed up, as one can see here : http://www.sk-gaming.com/arena/player. If the game was balanced, we'd see a plus-minus few percent between each class in the game. Ok it's of no interest for you people who don't play it, but people quit the game cause of this, feeling that the class they play with is disliked by the developers.

So, Blizzard has announced the upcoming Arena tournaments in their moneycow World of Warcraft. Not very interesting for those who don't play it, but what is written on their Legal-page about Tournaments is, take a look:
