Lost In Mortal Online

Trees, mountains, more trees, more mountains and more trees Normally when I say I’m lost in a game I’m referring to the games atmosphere and gameplay, but this time I literally mean I’m lost.  I’ve wandered out from one of the game’s cities into the wilderness and have been lost for about an hour or so.  I have no idea where in the game I am or how to get back to where I came from

WoW Moviewatch: Beware of the Baby B

Michael Gray is still feeling a bit under the weather, and I have heard no news on the status of the puppy , so! Today's offering is another of the winners of the Alienware Rise to Power contest! Beware of the Baby B is a charming little three minute story by Olibith , who we've featured before numerous times on WoW Moviewatch. Much like the other Rise to Power winners, it's a pretty jaw-dropping movie in terms of effects and production. Beware of the Baby B is a tale about a baby beholder with a big appetite, and what happens when said appetite gets entirely out of control.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: I cannot see the future

Frankly, the Bladestorm nerf is a minor one, albeit an extremely annoying minor one. Granted, it means that opposing rogues, warriors and sometimes hunters (ah, hunters, the Y's of WoW ) will be able to turn the major source of " And now YOU DIE " available to arms warriors in PvP into " Whee, I'm a pretty ballerina watch me spin ". Arms is still pretty strong if it's geared to the absolute teeth and has significant backup, which is about the best you can expect from a warrior in PvP.
