I am not a fan of goblins either butBomber wrote:I absolutely haaaaate Goblins, I always played Horde before but I just cannot even begin to rage about how much I hatehatehate Goblins.
their starting zone and things they get, as well as the quest lines they have are MUCH more fun than the worgen. (my friend has a beta key, let me play)
I was really upset that alliance (FOR THE HORDE!) got worgen because alliance sucks, and the worgen look cool as shit.
honestly they should of put the pandaren race in the game for horde. that would be SICK.
but the worgen starting area is meh, and you can't change what you look like in human form.(yet, i'm sure they will change this.) the quests are meh, but the goblin area is MUCH more fun and I could never betray the horde (cause if i did i'd look pretty stupid running around on alliance with my horde tattoo on my back. lulz)

Re: The Gaming Thread
I just won three rolls in ICC 25 and had the usual bitching and moaning about how it was unfair as my dps wasn't in the top five. It seriously makes me not want to play with pugs. Do they not understand that my dps won't get any better unless I get the sodding loot to improve my stats?! Morons.

Just ignore them, as long as you get it and need it, they can't stop you from continuing to pug.

I'm on sargeras here!
and @Dystopatica
I know the feeling. But at least you don't play a disc priest. I can't tell you how many pug idiots i've had to deal with "wow you suck. you're a fail healer. You're like, one of the bottom healers by a lot. Wow, what is wrong with you. l2heal."
and that i shouldn't get gear because of the same fucking reason. Soo annoying!
disc = damage mitigation peoplee!!!!

Re: The Gaming Thread
Maybe you guys should get a WoW thread. I keep popping in here to learn about some cool games and being totally confused by lots of random abbreviations and stuff. It makes me sad:(
You'd definitely have enough material to keep it going though.

Now that is more like it<3 We almost managed the platinum trophy for Fallout 3, but unfortunately the PS3 died last week and now we're screwed. So long trophy
But Fallout is definitely worth a play

Yeah but a lock's DPS is subpar compared to a good arcane mage overall. Not all locks of course And plus there are still raids that require a high shadow resistance tank.
If you guys like WoW a lot but have money issues you should check out private servers. I played on a couple last year.

Re: The Gaming Thread
Since I'm on holiday from work I finally have time to play Dragon Age which I had abandoned due to work (and hopefully Mass Effect 2, too). I love love love Bioware games.
And I have to finish Super Mario Galaxy so I can get the second one. Some levels are so hard though.. And I want to have good scores, too!

Re: The Gaming Thread
Castlevania Puzzle came out. I'm not going to get anything done ever again because MY GOD ITS SO FUN XD. It's really similar to Puzzle Fighter Turbo but with SoTN characters, item collection, and castle exploration. Very very fun. If you have an iphone/ipad I recommend buying it, totally worth the money. And it's a very large and well polished mobile game.

Re: The Gaming Thread
I honestly doubt they would bother with something so specific. I mean, there is an awful lot to WoW that would just dwarf every other thing about games in this thread and how many people will see 'Gaming Thread' and be like... Hmm cba. And then see 'WoW Thread' And go... I totally play that!
There was even an Animal Crossing thread a while back so it isn't unheard of.

Re: The Gaming Thread
I am an arcane mage. Still, my dps is going to be lower when I've got a 5.4k gear score and I am playing in a group of mostly 6k+. I was still putting out a consistant 6k+ damage but apparantly thats just not good enough.tr1angl3 wrote:That's why I love mages. All the glory, none of the responsibility.

Re: The Gaming Thread
Well I thought that I would poke this thread a little. *poke poke*
I now have an Xbox Joys! And a Gold subscription! Double joys! But no friends... Sad sad Vicsie.
I must admit however that I am lacking in games. I am however currently obsessed with Fable 3, so anyone who has that and wants someone to play with, I'm your girl
So yeah, I'm looking for game recommendations. We have the whole of the Halo series except I can't play on Reach until Tom decides to open it(It was his Christmas present after all) XD
P.s. My Gamer tag is totes my username.

Re: The Gaming Thread
What sort of games do you like vic?
I highly recommend gears of war 1 & 2, saints row 1 & 2, left 4 dead 1 & 2, resident evil 5, bioshock 1 & 2 tomb raider anniversary and / or legend - that's just games I could play over and over and not get bored (esp. left 4 dead), I could recommend lots more but those are my tops ones!
We bought a kinect a while ago but we put it away as a present for the little one, she opened it up on Tuesday along with her kinectimals game and we got loads of demos for other games, I played dance central and your shape and ordered them as soon as the demo was over I enjoyed them that much. Kinectimals is good but the little un' gets frustrated with controlling it because she's a right little fidget and the kinect goes a bit mad trying to figure out what she's trying to do (she can't just stand still and move her arms she jumps and flails).
