Finally something I've been saying is missing from the WoW world is going to be added, ocean combat! In the 6.2 version of the PTR you are now able to add shipyards to your garrison allowing your followers to do new sea missions. OK so we don't get to sail the boat around or anything but it's better than nothing. The shipyard is also supposed to unlock a new zone, The Invasion of Tanaan Jungle. That's supposed to give us "open-world questing" with new rare monsters and treasures scattered around. It's also where the new raid, Hellfire Citadel, is going to be located. HFC is supposed to have 13 bosses. If all that's not enough we'll also be getting the conclusion to the legendary ring quest line, some tweaks to our characters classes, more achievements and a mythic difficulty for dungeons.  If you want a full list of everything that's going to be happening here's a link , to the official sites patch notes.

Superheroes, hurt, Hollywood..... I don't think so. I was reading on an article about how some people actually think that superhero movies are hurting Hollywood, that's a big no. I can tell you what hurts Hollywood and it's the same thing that has hurt it from the beginning, greed. It doesn't matter what movies Hollywood wants to make as long as they are willing to put the time, and resources into it. The problem for any type of movie comes when the studio gets more interested in how fast and cheap they can put something out instead of how good the movie is. If the story sucks, the special effects suck, and the acting is a joke quickly people are going to want to stop seeing your movies. Of course the makers of those movies just claim that it's because people don't want to see those kind of movies anymore and for awhile they stop until somebody else manages to convince a studio to make one again and the cycle starts all over. The moral of the story is make a g...

Pillars of Eternity (PoE) has to be some of the most fun I've had in awhile. PoE screams of D&D and the old Baldur's Gate games. I haven't seen games made in this style for so long now it's nice to see what is hopefully a comeback. The character creator had a ton of options to pick from. It took me forever to make up my mind on what I wanted to play as. While a lot of games give you character options that don't actually effect the game, in PoE I've started two characters and both have had slight changes in the conversations and actions I can take. The combat can be changed from a more active combat, where you jump from character to character making the game more hectic and difficult. Or you can go more old school, being able to pause and unpause as is needed giving you more control over what's going on. I can't tell you how much fun I've been having with this game so far and I can't wait to get further into it. If you like old school RP...

I was just reading a review of Bloodborne that wasn't all that positive and people said he hated it because he just wasn't hardcore. He's just a casual gamer that should go back to playing candy crush. I haven't played Bloodborne, but if I don't like it does that make me a casual gamer? Does it even matter if somebody is a casual gamer? We shouldn't be so fast to judge people. It doesn't matter how much you spend, or what you play. It doesn't matter if you spend the day battling monsters in Bloodborne or all night raiding in WoW. All that really matters is that you love playing games.

Are you playing Elder Scroll Online? Well you should be. Yeah I know, I didn't think it was going to be any fun at all and at first I wasn't all that impressed but slowly that's changing. I've been a huge Elder Scroll fan since Morrowind, and when mmo hit everybody put it down so I figured it would be F2P in a year, or just dead, so I stopped paying attention. Then they announced it was going to go B2P, kind of a newer concept, and I figured why what the heck. You really can't get something for nothing. So no it's not Elder Scrolls, well it is but it isn't. If you go in expecting to play a copy of Skyrim you aren't going to be happy, and on launch their was a ton of bugs, and bots. Lets be on honest I don't think the game was completely thought threw when it was launched the first time. But this re-release, and that's what it really is, is actually a ton of fun. I haven't run into any bugs, or bots so far and I haven't seen anybody ju...

So this is the end of StarCraft, Blizzard announced. OK so maybe not the end, end but with this last expansion, Legacy of the Void, will be the end of this StarCraft story, but the universe will persist. "StarCraft will live on as a universe. We hope to explore some other aspects of the universe, but the storyline that was setup in StarCraft I and continued in StarCraft II will resolve in Legacy of the Void. All of those main characters will reach a nice satisfying conclusion." So while we'll be sad to see Raynor, Kerrigan, and Zeratul  go, we can look forward to seeing what's next for the amazing Starcraft galaxy.  Before that though we still have one last blast with this upcoming expansion. Blizzard announced that closed beta invites will start on March 31.  I know I'm going to have to replay my way threw StarCraft 2 before the next expansion hits.
