Sheeyah!

Since Avatar, 3d technology has been at the forefront of most tech news in the first quarter of 2010. Now Bestbuy, Panasonic, Samsung and others are all producing sets that handle 3d. Years ago they tried this and it failed, what has changed? 3d Technology or just our need to be more emerged in entertainment.. who knows. One thing is clear tech companies think it’s the next boom, I however am skeptical.

Sorry no matter how many “cool” 133$ Sony 3d glasses come out, I don’t think I’ll be wearing them in my own home.  What do you think?

Yup it’s all over the net in 2011 they plan to make you pay for access to their site. It’s a growing trend to those newspapers searching for revenue and dealing with the new tech age. It make sense for them but these days the minute an article is posted or what might be termed an “exclusive”, can’t you find it in 5 minutes on any bloggers site? The answer is yes, the net is a vast regurgitation of  junk including this post you just read! hah… anyway good luck New York Times Online.

Question: Is Borderlands for PC able to link with xbox live?
Answer: No, Borderlands for PC cannot play with players on Xbox 360.

The biggest question is why?

If I could describe WAR in 1 word it would be “deep”. I don’t feel like i need to grind to the highest level right away. I am actually taking my time to Level, Rank up, and gain Influence. We all know what levels are, but what are the other two.

Each character has levels and ranks. Your ranks are tied to your RVR xp, the more Ranks the better armor you can use and the better your character will be. Not only is it smart to RVR from level 1 on, but it buffs your character and it’s fun! From RVR you get Renown points as well, you will get points you can throw into buffing your weapon skill (gets through armor) or strength, int, etc.

Getting influence in an area is another cool aspect. I mentioned about the Public Quests getting you loot and xp, well i left out how influence is another reward. Complete a few public quests to get influence, once maxed (you have a bar) you can get armor based off your influence that is far superior to  items your level.

More to come….

AOC is dead.. yup, i just can’t wait for them to get a vision in the game. Saw that coming? Me too…

While I wait for Warhammer Online to come out Sept 18th, I decided to go back to my roots (originally EQ1) but now EQ2. I already sold my character via their “station exchange” 4 years ago. Now that I am back it’s really amazing how much it has changed. The character development, and general game-play has much improved. So I will enjoy this for the time being. Hopefully i won’t get too addicted… but we’ll see how that goes

AOC has finally started to slow down for me. Actually for about 1-2 weeks now. After failed promise after failed promise I can only state how disappointed I am in the game. I’ll try and list all the faults here.

• The “PVP Patch” was supposed to be here late June or Early July… Umm yea it’s August now
• Class imbalance runs ramped. I have a DT and a POM. The DT is simply a joke and the POM is actually middle of the road which is fine. The DT’s armor and dps are the worst in the game and they can’t actually PVP at all. If I wanted to spend years gathering Gem’s and adding unholy damage to all my gear then they can be viable but I don’t have the time to do so. I am by no means a light gamer as I play 1-2 hours a day, but come on…. I’d rather be sending my time on something fun.
• The developers lack direction. They switches gears on a dime and are constantly making updates to issues that do not matter. Like dressing naked women in the game, seriously? How about fixing the bugs?
• The game is in Beta. The devs continue to make MAJOR, not minor changes to the games dynamic. One example is the recent nerf to gems, that change alone made it nearly impossible to raid with the limited raid content available. People who spent countless hours grinding away are pissed because their once uber armor is now crap. An example: Unholy dmg on a weapon went from 12.0 to .120 how awesome is that?!
• Bugs / Memory leaks – The game is a technical nightmare. I’m in IT and when I get home I don’t want to have to troubleshoot a game to play it.

In summary Funcom = FAIL

P.S. I’ll give you until Sept 18^th (The day Warhammer Online comes out, I’ve already preordered)

So here is the deal. I rerolled another character a POM (healer technically) and I am loving it. I am level 37 currently, I can take on 5-6 mobs at 1 time. This number shoots up to 10 or so if the mobs are equal to my level. If they are 1 level below i can take on 15.. it’s a rush. My xp bar jumps like crazy.

They’ve been making improvments to the game and while the end game content still needs to be worked on, the game has come pretty far in the past month.

I ran Sanctum as a healer last night, and it was the easiest thing ever. I spammed my HOT spells and then just kicked back and enjoyed the show while doing damage. So healing isn’t a bore anymore in AOC which is very cool!
