Oh Yeah! So finally we get another drop date for the Guild Wars 2. OK so we've had more than a couple release dates that have sent us running to the store to pre order this upcoming free to play mmorpg  that we've been waiting for, for years now. Not that I've been slightly annoyed or anything. Anyway you want to know the darn date, 8-28-12 . That's right August 28th of this year. So clear your calenders, and save up your sick days Guild Wars 2 is coming!

Hey everybody how's it going? So the end of June is upon us and we have some great content coming to save us from the murderous heat outside. First we the makers of Mass Effect 3 have decided to appease it's fans with the DLC that is supposed to better explain the ending that left us hanging. Now I have to re-beat ME2 and ME3 just to make sure that I don't forget anything. I started replaying ME3 without an ME2 save and found out that all the ME2 character just don't show up. I was kinda annoyed with that so I'm restarting ME2 tomorrow. We also have the Dawnguard DLC coming out on the 26th as well. Although I've been reading different things all over the web saying that the PC  and PS3 release dates may be later. This DLC is supposed to make us into vampires, that have been super  enhanced from your common everybody elder scroll vampire, or able to make us into vampire hunters. It will also add mounted combat, the crossbow, and as always a ton of new quests....

Basic Diablo Tips for any Class It doesn't  matter if you're playing threw for the first time or your an old pro (well if you're an  old pro you probably know all this), here are some tips to make you're Diablo experience a little better. DON'T STAND IN THE FIRE! So their is way more than just fire that you shouldn't be standing in. Really if it came out of some monster and is bubbling on the ground just stay away from it. I know this is the most obvious thing but in Diablo 3 I've found that the fire, acid, gas and so forth eats your health way faster than just about any attack. The Alt key is your friend. Why you ask, because sometimes after you kill a group of monsters you can't see everything that has dropped, letting you miss out on all sorts of goodies. Just press the  all mighty alt key everything appears and life is good. Make sure you always have an escape route . You make think that their is only a couple bad guys standing around for a ...

Diablo 3 Stat Guide So I know when I started playing I was a bit lost on which stats would help which character. Of course it's easy to guess guess that intelligence is going to be good for the Wizards, and  strength is going to be good for a Barbarians, wouldn't vitality help everybody? And what about Dexterity? Here's a quick guide to that the stat system of Diablo 3. Strength : Raises damage for Barbarians and Armor for all classes. Dexterity : Raises damage for Monks and Demon Hunters and increases Dodge Chance for all classes. Intelligence : Raises damage for Witch Doctors and Wizards and increases resistance for all classes. Vitality : Raises how much life your character has for all classes. Armor : Cuts down on damage taken Damage : How much damage your character can do. So in some way or another each of the stats help. You'll just want to go out of your way to stack your characters main stat, usually followed by vitality. Hope that helps every...

Lots of flash not do much bang! I've been looking forward to Diablo 3 now for what seems like years. I've played since the original and have relived every second of the series, well almost every second of the series. The game it's self has a great story that keeps you tied to your seat until the very end and maybe that's the problem. The story is great, well told, compelling. Explaining things from the other games as to not leave the new players in the dark. It has plenty of twists and turns leaving people guessing what's going to happen next. Not to mention breath taking cinematics that is until you beat the game. With everything that has happened so far you expect some super amazing, wet your pants spectacular ending, and it simply doesn't happen. It almost feels like the developers got to the end of the game, couldn't decided what to do and just said screw this I'm done the end, leaving all of us dumbfounded and wanting. Major characters are j...

That wasn't pretty... So like many people I rushed out and bought Diablo 3 sped home and started the long boring task of installing the game. I unlike what seems like a lot of the others that bought the game actually got the chance to play. Of course that was for only an hour and the servers were down. The entire night the servers were up and down, mostly down leaving the gaming public salivating for the chance to destroy the lords of evil. So was it worth it? I've manged to pummel my way threw about half the game with my monk and have fallen in love. Diablo 3 has a compelling story, tons of weapons, armor, and skills to gather up. The graphics are top notch and the new auction house gives players a way to earn some extra money. People have given the game some bad reviews due to the fact of all the technical problems on launch day, and the fact that the real money section off the auction house wont be up until the 22 of the this month. The simple fact is that if you'v...

Why I don't like Steam. As you can probably tell by the title I'm not a Steam fan. While it has it's place and does do a pretty good job of keeping games organized and up to date their is one epic problem with it. When it crashes you can't play anything. Just a second ago I was going wonder the world world of Skyrim only to have Steam tell me that they couldn't connect to anything and while it may be my internet connect it might not be. Why do I need a connection to play Skyrim at all? I understand when an mmo goes down and I can't play it. I don't like it but I understand it, the internet is mandatory for online games, but Skyrim and a lot of other games don't really have anything to do with the online world. I bought a single player game that I could just play without having to worry about internet or other people for. Thanks for taking that away Steam, really...Thanks.
