SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH! That's the sound of my bladestorm as I dance my way across warsong to rip your face off. :)
Lately I have started to become a bit of an achievement whore but it's nothing too bad, mostly working on pvp achievements so I can get my battlemaster title, also I REALLY want my Tabard of Conquest! So I've been hitting up the Battlegrounds with my favorite homies, Creativename, Ünohana, Lipsy, and of course Deadweight (still a nub but we are working on it :P) and I have noticed that with Moi the more resilience I get, the easier it is for me to rip people apart, which is nice. Warriors are so gear dependent it isn't funny, but I have a pretty supportive guild so it makes grinding it out pretty easy. If you don't pvp I HIGHLY suggest looking into it, as the next expansion seems to be highly focused on rated battlegrounds and pvp class balance, and that is something I personally want to see being an old Guild Wars pvp player.
I have had many people ask me what other games I play besides World of Warcraft lately, and I decided to make a list and give an overall rundown of what each game is and why exactly I have decided to spend any free time I have on it.
Allods Online
I started playing this game back in early closed beta, and I did not enjoy it at all. The mechanics were very slow, the game play was clunky, and the player interaction was asking for a much needed face lift. Well, earlier this month my friend Cyrano told me he and a few friends were playing it and enjoying the game, so I decided to give it another try. The game play has changed for the better, it was VERY noticeable, the pvp was quite enjoyable at a high level, and the graphics are nice for a free to play mmo. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys pvp but doesn't want to pay $15 a month for it.
Counter-Strike 1.6
One of my favorite games I have ever played, Counter-Strike has kept the spot it earned as "King of the mountain" for first person shooter games over the last 5 years, even with new shooters with better graphics, nothing can beat this monster of a game. I highly suggest Counter-Strike to anyone who enjoys fast pace shooters and is on a budget, it still have a huge online following and will not disappoint.
League of Legends
What can be said about this game that I haven't said already? I PREACH THIS GAME TO PEOPLE ALL THE TIME! It is absolutely the best widely available MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game online right now (you will see what I mean later). Fast action, on average ~30 minute matches, 3v3 or 5v5 action with two separate maps, upcoming tournament and ladder gameplay, LoL has it all. I suggest this game to any gamer, from casual to hardcore, who are looking for a challenging game that is always evolving (new heroes released every TWO weeks, new maps/game styles in the works).
Heroes of Newerth
Another MOBA game that is currently in open beta (free to play during this time) that is more for the old school gamer who enjoys the original MOBA game dota (or Defense of the Ancient, a warcraft 3 mod which is known world wide) and don't like the cartoon look of LoL. I suggest this game to anyone who wants a more competative MOBA with the old map that we all remember and love!
Bloodline Champions
This is a new MOBA I have been playing that is in closed beta (requires a sign up and invite from the developers to play) that has become quite addicting to me. This game is FAST and I mean that when I say it. Rounds average a minute or two, first team to five win the game. Each team is made of 3 players (random or premade) who work together in live action play (NO TARGETING, ALL SKILL SHOTS AND ACTUAL DODGING!) with the objective being simple, KILL THE OTHER TEAM! I highly suggest people sign up for this game and pray you get into the beta, it is absolutely amazing and some fresh blood in the MOBA world.
That's about it for the games I play, I hope you have enjoyed my review and if you have any questions regarding the games, my username on them, or if YOU have a game you want me to try out, feel free to drop me a message on here and I'll check it out.
Now, if you don't mind me, I need to design a battleground for Cataclysm!
I leave you with THAT RETARDED HORSE!
