I have to keep repeating this because it always happens. Don’t forget your supply people! This was probably the only irritating part of my entire beta experience so far. Roll up to a fort or keep and throw down a ram or arrow cart, only to stare at my unfinished and expensive paper weight. This occurred far too often and
Read moreOne of the things i love is running into random events with champion mobs. It usually means mass chaos and lots of deaths, mostly for me! I happened to run into 2 of them in Gendarran Fields, the new zone open during BWE2. I enjoy these events when players see them for the first time and proceed to engage them
Read moreMy original plan was to avoid these 2 cities until launch so as to not spoil the ooh’s and ahh’s until launch. Well that plan, much like most plans, quickly went out the window when i realized i had to go to Charr land for Ascalonian Catacombs. I still could have avoided it but said what the hell and
Read moreThis is the kind of stuff i love. The kind of stuff some may call fluff or unnecessary, but i feel that adds to the longevity of an MMO. It’s the non-combat “fluff” like this that i always ask for when i send in my feedback during betas, along with any class or bug fixes of course. I’m of course
Read moreAnother beta weekend event drew to a close leaving us feeling empty inside until the next one. I managed to capture a ridiculous amount of pics and video that i have to sift through and try to make some sense of in the next few days. Most of this will consist of WvW action, which VI spent the majority
Read moreCliche but i had to do it. Given my displeasure with the game as a whole, i thought it’d be fun to go back 8 months and revisit some of the criticism i had during the friends & family beta period. I’m going to quote those aspects that i posted on Impact Gaming forums and hopefully give an explanation as
Read moreIn the short 7 hours we all got to play on Monday, VI decided to spend most of it in World vs. World PVP. It’s amazing how great MMO PVP can be when there’s no silly PVP stat or gear. I’m looking at you valor, resilience, or whatever the hell else devs are stupid enough to continuously implement. Also the

Long overdue post of one of my favorite and most underrated cult films of the entire 80’s and in my opinion, Kurt Russel’s best movie. This movie has everything! Since all of my Jack Burton tribute videos have been taken down off youtube, i had to find another host to stream from. Here’s the man, the myth, the legend-

Released April 14th 1980 1. Prowler 2. Remember Tomorrow 3. Running Free 4. Phantom Of The Opera 5. Transylvania 6. Strange World 7. Charlotte The Harlot 8. Iron
Read moreThe long awaited weekend was upon us and VI dove in head first into ArenaNet’s follow up to the award winning Guild Wars. This time however, what we have is an actual full fledged MMO. Let me start right there and reiterate how fantastic that aspect really is. The game world is outstanding in every detail possible. I spent more
Read moreThought I’d fire up LOTRO after a few months and run around for a bit. I absolutely adore the game world and wish more MMO’s would follow suit. It’s unfortunate that the combat, character models, and animations are so mediocre or this could be a fantastic game. Since I’m only 32, i couldn’t explore everywhere, but i ran around
