Games: WoW Expansion formally announced: Burning Crusade

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered lives. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore new lands and broken through the Dark Portal to investigate the realms beyond the known world. Will these heroes find friends or foes? What dangers and rewards lie in wait beyond the Dark Portal? And what will they do when they discover that the demons they thought vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade?

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is the exciting new expansion to Blizzard's award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It expands the game by tremendous bounds, adding new races, lands, Battlegrounds, professions and items, and more. Here is just a partial list of what you can expect from the World of Warcraft expansion:
An increase in the level cap to 70
Two new playable races, including the magical Blood Elves
New starting zones in Quel'Thalas and beyond
The entire new continent of Outland, reachable through the
Dark Portal
Many new high-level dungeons to explore in Azeroth,
Outland, and elsewhere
New flying mounts in Outland
Many new and dangerous monsters, including epic world
bosses
Hundreds of new quests
Hundreds of new items
A new profession: Jewelcrafting
Socketed items
And much, much more...

Be Warned: Civilization 4 is dangerous for your health. Its so addicting that the developers even put an in-game alarm clock so you know when to stop playing and continue with your life. I hate you, Sid Meier. and the guys at Firaxis. lol. Great Multiplayer out of the box too! I could write more but i have some Aztec Jaguar butt to kick....

Games: RF Online Sneak Peek

This game makes me appreciate the polish that Blizzard (WoW) has on their games. RF Online has amazing potential although i think they need to fix the text display bugs, polish the camera lag, allow windowed mode, get a better translator and spruce up the environment.

Games: Quake 4 and F.E.A.R.

Better get those VCs ready boys 'cause here come the shooter heavyweights!

Quake 4 ingame Screenshot.
Impressions: Initial gameplay gives the impression that this is basically Doom 3 with a somewhat more interesting story. It looks great although im not really a fan of the "demon/strogg jumping/bursting out of nowhere" kind of encounters.

Impressions: F.E.A.R. freaks me out. Its the Vampire Bloodlines haunted mansion all over again but this time its one whole friggin' haunted game! Great effects and firefights complement the spooky atmosphere.

Games: World of Warcraft The Return

Im just waiting for my own personal account to be reactivated although ive been tinkering with Ramil's former account. Not bad since i get to play his Level 60 Shaman.But damn if i dont miss my own level 60 Orc Hunter and his insanely cool(pun intended) frostsaber pet, not to mention my hoard of gold amassed through (both?) the auction houses and painstaking farm..errr grinding.

Word is much has been improved with hunter's since i left WoW 5 months ago, pets tank more and i even see mages whining about how pets literally tear them to shreds due to improvements. Ha!

Im thinking of moving into the Pet mastery more although i do like to hit hard using my Hurricane (can i still sell this thing for like 800g?).I still have lots of uber loot stashed in my bank as well, might be a good time to sell em off since Feathermoon seems to be full all the time meaning more potential buyers.bwahahahha.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Apple just unveiled their new Video ipod.
If you bought an Ipod Mini or Shuffle the last 3 mos, you were screwed because the Nano is a much better purchase. If you bought that black 4gb Nano a couple of weeks ago then it may sadden you to know that the video ipod is only (only lng daw no? hehe)a couple of thousand pesoses more but plays video too.

Ah, Progress!

From the creative minds behind Warcraft and Diablo comes Hellgate:London, a third/first person rpg/shooter/hackandshoot hybrid that promises to refine and evolve the diablo formula. Currently the Templar class is the only one announced. Screenshots show the female version of the Templar. I suggest you go to the Hellgate London website and download the cinematic!
