Having recently mused about getting my neglected tank in World of Warcraft levelled up quickly so that I can enter the Outlands I logged in to see what I could do. I was concerned about running through the same content yet again, particularly as I had neglected Sapphire because ...

I completed an idle user-created quiz on old-school World of Warcraft raiding earlier, somewhere on the internet. A part of me quite fancied seeing how much I remembered of my epic warlock days.
Coincidentally enough, although I didn't realise it at the time, today I'm wearing my 'I killed Onyxia' ...

With my transatlantic World of Warcraft group having reached 60th level and hit the Outlands the XP race, caused by the increased experience gains between 20th and 60th levels, has been slowed. There is less risk of racing ahead of the group by a few levels, where even those ...

I was a little concerned when I bought my new computer a few months back. It was an expensive purchase and was replacing what was essentially a World of Warcraft arcade machine. As I had been burning out on a regular basis I wasn't sure I could fully ...

Magnet Magnetson, my City of Villains Mastermind, reached threat level 20 whilst defeating Dr Echo in yet another abandoned Arachnid base. I was informed by my supervillain trainer that my outfit was looking a bit shabby and to get myself over to the tailor to sharpen myself up. ...

Apparently, it was 'Respect at Work Day' yesterday, which perhaps made it a little unfortunate that I wore my VG Cats t-shirt that has Aeris raising a fist and saying 'I'm going to start wounding you now!' I tried to placate people by pointing out that it makes sense ...

I've mentioned a passing interest in trying the EVE Online MMORPG a few times, wanting to explore space and a sci-fi setting, but held back partly because of the PvP nature of the game and partly because of time constraints, what with playing World of Warcraft and City of Heroes/Villains. ...

I didn't play much in the way of World of Warcraft or City of Villains, but I did play a little of each. I didn't get to play with my usual group in World of Warcraft, because of schedule conflicts, but I popped on with Knifey for a short ...

One question on gaining the power of flight on my City of Villains Mastermind was what would happen to my robots? I know they have the innate power of super-jumping, which is quite handy when they chase a villain who is keen on a cinematic railing death but misjudges ...

I cranked up Magnet Magnetson's notoriety in City of Villains from Villainous to Malicious, the next level up, making missions a little more difficult to complete. It's not that I have anything to prove or am trying to be hard-core, but I was running through missions a bit too ...
