A Spore Nerd Corner

Well that could have gone smoother... I was really happy at first. I picked up Warlords first thing in the morning and only had to wait in a short line to get it, good times. Warlords installed super fast, all the codes that came with it went in with no problems and life was good. I even got to play threw the opening sequence of the game without any lag or disconnecting issues. Then then the problems came. I shouldn't say problems really. The only problem I had was that I kept getting kicked out of the expansion zone, then the game. When I would log back in I found myself in Stormwind, where my hearthstone was set to, and when I would try to use the new Garrison Hearthstone to go back to where I was, it wouldn't work. This happened to me a couple times before I decided to just stop for a couple hours. When I came back later that night it didn't happen again. So what do I think of the expansion so far? I'm having a lot of fun. The story has me hooked, not to mention ...

 Today we finally got the chance to see what your WoW toons look like with the new improved graphics this new expansions has. A new patch dropped today with that gave us the new character models, along with a short new adventure that sets up us for the next expansion. The event takes us to outside the Dark Portal, that has now changed colors, and our new enemy, the Iron Horde, is now spewing threw. I know you've watched the video blizzard posted ages ago that kinda explains what's going, and if you haven't checked it, what's wrong with you, and you can see it here . If what we get to see in this little patch, well not so little darn this was massive, is half as good as what we are going to see in the new expansion, it's going to be amazing. If the pandas drove you away now is a good time to come back and see what's going on. Warlords of Dreanor is going to drop November 13. Feel free to dance a jig glee, I know I am.

Just a second ago I finished watching the live event for the next expansion of World of Warcraft, Warlords of Dreanor and it was amazing! The entire new expansion, everything from the new models and zones, the new dungeons and raids, and new pvp content is crazy.  Being able to build your own garrison is going to be a blast. Really everything looks amazing, especially for somebody like me who is a lore fiend and has been playing since Orcs and Humans. I can't help but do a little dance around the living room. But what you really want to know is the release date, NOVEMBER 13 THIS YEAR! now you know, mark your calenders, plan to be sick that day.

So if you're anything like me you spent the day raging over the announcement that the new Tomb Raider game is only going to be on the Xbox. Well now all sorts of things are popping up all over the net, maybe exclusive doesn't really mean exclusive, but kinda exclusive. Like the kind of exclusive that means that Tomb Raider may be out on the other systems just after a period of time. At least that's the inference a lot of people are getting from what has been officially released. Who knows what's actually going on, I know I sure don't. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Diablo 3 is getting ready for it's next patch, 2.1.0, which I'm super excited for. Ever wonder been chasing that darn treasure goblin along, watch him open that darn portal, of course you manage to take him out before he escapes, but where does that portal go? In the upcoming patch we are finally going to get the chance to see. Every so often after you take the treasure goblin t...

Today Blizzard announced when the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor, will be released... Well kinda. The official WoW blog said that the opening cinematic and the official release date will premiere at an event on August 14th in L.A.  The event is supposed to be held in Ace Theater and should also include a live interview with WoW developers.

In my last blog I told everybody about what it's going to be included in the pre-purchase of the new WoW expansion, Warlords of Draenor. Ahh but as always their has been a change.  Blizzard has released information that being able to booth a character to level 90 right after you pay for the expansion. According to the Blizzard post on facebook: "That's a little different from the plan we laid out at BlizzCon, but based on the feedback, it's obvious that many of you would like the chance to get acquainted with a new class before heading into the expansion. "This will also give more players the opportunity to experience the current end-game content and the events leading up to Garrosh's exodus to Draenor. Maybe you'll get your Legendary cloak from Wrathion and level 90-100 Heirloom weapon in the process."  Also insta-levelling will in the "near future" be able to be purchased, letting your buy your new character up to level 90. Bef...

Blizzard has finally let out the new for what we will get with the pre-order to the next expansion to World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor. The bonus will include a pet, a mount and an instant level raise to 90.  You'll get the bonus with both the Digital Deluxe version or the Standard version of the expansion. People are still arguing if the instant raise to level 90 is a good idea or not. Blizzard is saying it will give people experience with a new toon at higher levels before they go straight into the new content without making them grind from level one. Other people argue that players will jump to higher levels with a class they don't understand making it near impossible to run instances, after all how do you tank a level 90 instance if you've only just barely played your character. The closed beta is supposed to start "soon," so if you can't wait for the official release make sure to sign up now.

Warlords of Draenor Inventory Improvements That's right, we've all been there. It seems that no matter how big your bags are, they're never big enough.  Between PvE gear, PvP gear, all those toys you've found while wondering around, heirlooms, and everything you've picked up for your professions you're bags are full and just then you find some abstract item you've been hunting for, for the last five years. But with the next expansion Blizzard has saved us from our woes. Collections have been added for your Heirlooms and Toys. This makes it's only little menu for each of the collections, making everything truely account bound and easier to move them from toon to toon without having to mail them. Quest items will no long take up space in your inventory but are being moved into a special Quest space. Bags can be set to only carry some items, armor, consumables, and so on so you don't have to keep hunting threw each bag to find something. You...

Blizzcon is here and we already have some great news..... Well I think it's great news, it seems like great news. Maybe I'm just being optimistic but optimism is a good thing sometimes. Anyway we heard about the new WoW expansion coming out, Warlords of Draenor.  On their new website, linked here, you can check out the new trailer and news on the new content.
