    Jens Pulver: World of Warcraft maniac

    So I woke up this morning and logged straight into World of Warcraft, as I do every morning except Tuesdays, what with the stupid "realm maintenance" nonsense. I sold a couple of Netherweave Bags. I logged off, and soon after began another day of CrunchGear. Meanwhile, Jens Pulver, who was the UFC's first 155-pound champion, was doing the same thing. Well, except for the CrunchGear part—he was training for a fight.

    World of Warcraft’s new dungeon finder just made life worth living again

    For me, the best part of Patch 3.3 in World of Warcraft is the new dungeon finder. I've used it a bunch in the past couple of days, and can say this: PUGing is now fun (though it'll change the way we look at guilds).

    Will World of Warcraft’s Patch 3.3 drop tomorrow? Let’s hope so!

    Tomorrow could be a very big day for World of Warcraft fans. (And aren't we all WoW fans?) Yes, players from Tokyo to Toledo, from London to Lima, are terribly excited about the possible release of the latest, and last, patch for Wrath of the Lich King. It'll bring the game to version 3.3, and, more importantly, bring about the demise of Arthas. Boo, Arthas!

  • Did this guy just ‘beat’ World of Warcraft? (Answer: No.)

    Did this guy just ‘beat’ World of Warcraft? (Answer: No.)

    Does getting every achievement in World of Warcraft mean you've “beaten” the game? I wouldn't say so, but that seems to be the meme going around, with word that a man in Taiwan has ticked off all but one achievements in the game.

  • Celebrating 5 years of World of Warcraft

    Celebrating 5 years of World of Warcraft

    World of Warcraft turns 5-years-old today. Back on November 23, 2004, a year before the current generation of video game systems even began (with the launch of the Xbox 360), Blizzard released the massively multi-player online game at a time when massively multi-player online games were still largely the haunt of hardcore gamers, people with fast Internet connections who were willing to pay $15 per month for access to a game that they already bought. Who can forget the message board threads: Why do I have to pay for a game that I already paid for at the store? How do you beat the game? What happens if and when I stop playing?

    Review: Razer Naga MMOG Laser Gaming Mouse

    Short version: A comfortable mouse whose main gimmick will take hours upon hours of dedication on your part to fully exploit. Like a dork, I looked up the word “naga” in Wikipedia, and it turns out that it refers to “a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very great [...]

    Blizzard starts selling in-game pets for real world money

    Really big World of Warcraft news today, friends. (Why do I write so much about WoW? Oh, you know, it's just the biggest, most successful MMO in history. Not writing about it would be like covering tech with mentioning Microsoft or Apple.) Blizzard is now selling in-game pets that you can buy with real money, $10. We're talking cash money. Dollar dollar bill, y'all.

    World of Worldcraft in China: The story that never ceases to befuddle

    Clearly nobody has any idea what's going on in China regarding World of Warcraft. The rules over there are such that Blizzard just can't open up shop, but has to contract a local company to run the game for Chinese users. Fair enough, and Blizzard has contracted NetEase to do such a thing. The problem is that NetEase keeps running into problems getting the game's expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, approved for public consumption.

  • Is World of Warcraft too big to be displaced at this point?

    Is World of Warcraft too big to be displaced at this point?

    Back before I started playing World of Warcraft (because of something that was work-related, incidentally), I used to tease my then-roommate about playing it well into the night, every night. I was a freshman at a certain horrendously expensive school, and my gaming started and stopped with my Xbox; I had no time for time-sink PC games. Not my roommate, no sir. The day the game came out—he had also been part of the beta—he plopped into his small, uncomfortable chair, Sunkist in hand (man alive did he love Sunkist for some reason), and quested well into the night away.

    Attention those of you wanting to ding 80 in World of Warcraft: Zygor 2.0 guide is out today

    Really, really big news today for World of Warcraft players. Today's the day that Zygor's leveling guide hits version 2.0. Leveling guides are used by players to hit level 80 (or, soon, 85) as quickly as possible so they can more quickly enjoy the endgame content. Think of them like GameFAQs or the old school Brady Games or Versus Books strategy guides.
