More Privacy Issues With Battle.net Real ID

[Sep 30, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

Since Blizzard announced Real ID for Battle.net, many players have been up in arms about concerns over privacy and their personal information (ie. their first and last name).

Blizzard has made an announcement today about new Real ID privacy features that are available:

Horde Scorpion Mount: It Looks Cool, But Will it Fit Through a Door?

On the most recent episode of the WoWphiles Podcast we mentioned the Horde scorpion guild mount the “Kron’Kar Annihilator” and the Alliance lion guild mount the “Reins of the Golden King”.

Today I want to focus on the Horde Scorpion mount for a few minutes. On the podcast we were in agreement that the scorpion model caused us both to pause and question whether or not we thought the scorpion was a…

Icesnake’s Add-on Emporium #32: Talented

[Sep 27, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Icesnake Frostfyre

Segment 32: Talented

One of the most important character customization means in World of Warcraft is the Talents tree. While Blizzard’s default Talents UI is usable, it’s not possible to see all three branches at the same time, nor can it easily import or export talent builds. This is where Talented comes in.

Talented replaces the default Talent UI and adds a lot of useful features. The first is obvious; you get to see…

I was following this car on the way to work this morning and once I noticed the license plate I was determined to get a picture of it. So I pulled out my iPhone and at the first red light I snapped the picture.

This license plate totally cracked me up so I thought I should share it with you all. Plus, I don’t know what’s funnier, that the license plate says L337 HAX…

Talent Point Battle: Mandatory vs Optional vs Cookie-cutter

[Sep 22, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

Blizzard’s goal to give players flexibility in choosing talent points in Cataclysm came under fire on the official World of Warcraft Forums recently. After reading through all of the posts, both by players and by Blizzard’s own Ghostcrawler, I started thinking about how and why we make talent choices, and the repercussions of those decisions.

First off, let me start by saying that I am for the post part a “cookie-cutter” talent…
