by Dan Landis on September 4, 2008
To the many übergeeks out there that couldn’t snatch up tickets to BlizzCon fast enough, in DIRECTV lies your savior.

Warning: Politicians May Be Abusing Their Powers to Make Gaming… Better?
by Dan Landis on August 3, 2008
This story starts with a young boy and a subscription to the MMO Final Fantasy XI. After a few months with the game, he grows tired of it and decides he’s going to cancel.

Oh boy… If World of WarCraft wasn’t already a massive drain on your free time, then Wrath of the Lich King will make things significantly worse.

WoW to Implement Level 30 Mounts, Nerf Twinks
by Dan Landis on June 20, 2008
Among the many changes the upcoming World of WarCraft patch 2.4.3 will bring, the most significant is probably the ability to get a mount at level 30.

Read on for the full Test Realm patch notes, including ridable dragonhawks and a huge nerf to twinks. Read more…
