Cooking and Grinds

Published 45 hours ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

The one part of this silly Pilgrim holiday I am participating in is the whole cooking thing. It was easy as pumpkin pie to level my paladin’s cooking skill from 1-350 or so with nearly no effort. I say “nearly” because damn it, travelling is difficult when you can’t ...

Forgle Wargle Blurgle

Published 2 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

Pilgrim Euripedes? No thanks. I did every world event loyally, got the titles, the pets, went hunting for specific class/race combos, and then not one goddamn bag of candies dropped in February. Then I realized I just didn’t really care at all. Bah, whatever, and so forth. Get the ...

Hey Look a Post or Something

Published 4 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

Gated unlocking of bosses once again. Yeah, they’re treating the gamers like children, only handling out a few of the candies at one time so the chocolate box will last longer. It’s a bit patronizing[...] A bit? A bit ?! Here I must take the vehement route. Being treated like ...

Gated Systems and Assorted Musings (WARNING: Bearwall)

Published 6 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

Quite the bombshell. ICC is going to be gated, and gated very heavily. As in, on release, we only have access to the first four bosses. This is all we get for weeks. “Several weeks”, to use the exact quote. Then we get to fight the next three, and after several more weeks, the ...

Playing Against the Game

Published 8 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

The very first video game I ever owned was NHL ‘96 for the Super Nintendo. The goalies, being controlled by the AI, auto-tracked the puck, and would do their damndest to stop goals. Problem is, by creating a custom character, you can create a character that can move faster than the ...

Braaaiiinpowahhh

Ugh. Midterms. I missed a bunch of school thanks to swine flu, and am still trying to play catch up. Caught up in 3/5 courses at the moment, though I still have a massive essay due this friday, and frankly it needs work. Lots of it. Life is hard doodz! This was brought to my attention ...

VoA PuGs and the True Nature of People

Published 16 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

25-man VoA forming up. I was on my paladin at the time, so I figure what the hey. Ret DPS isn’t exactly difficult (read: easy as crap) and I could use the Relentless gear, it would save me some honor farming. So I join in, do literally all of the summons myself (thanks guys), though ...

Whatever This Patch Is…

Published 16 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

It had better be important. I don’t think I’ve ever been flat out booted from the game and forced to download an emergency patch before. Seems like this must be something hugely important, what with booting me in the middle of a hard-fought WG, costing me the honor and tokens for ...

The Week That Was Crap Recap

Published 17 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

In regards to playing the game wrong… Picture raiding like a jigsaw puzzle. We all have to put it together, the only real differences is in the details. My approach is to study the picture on the outside of the box, know how many pieces there are, and know what every single piece looks ...

Micro-Transactions and the Pet Store

Published 20 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

So much rage over such an inconsequential little thing. You can now buy vanity pets for real cash. Big whoop. Ok, seriously, what the hell people. What so many of these complainers seem to forget is that microtransactions in WoW isn’t even a new concept. Don’t you guys remember ...

Playing the Game Wrong, Amongst Other Things

Published 21 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

I’d like to direct you to a post over at Righteous Orbs , though really the only relevant part to my own post is this part: When I hear the words ‘Flame Leviathan’ I’m thinking kraken meets phoenix, you know? I’m think tentacular wings dripping fire. I’m thinking awe. I’m thinking ...

Holy $%*# Paladins

Published 28 days ago by Euripedes at Critical QQ

A few nerfs to holy paladins were announced last night, though I suspect most of them won’t make it through. The LOH one, for instance, has already been removed. I play a paladin, but I’m not going to talk (much) about the repurcussions to paladins. Rather, I’m going to ...
