Final Fantasy 14: The pros and cons, what's better and what's worse from a Sprout's (new player's) perspective.

So, after bemoaning, somewhat, the state of Hunters in Castle Nathria, a funny thing happened one night later...

With the first tier of Raiding in Shadowlands over the hump, how is my choice of Hunter main looking now?

Is Shadowlands a back to basics approach, or just plain stingy with gear?

So Shadowlands has been live now for a week. Thoughts so far?

With hours now until release, everything is still in flux...

So with the biggest changes to levelling in 16 years, how does levelling look now?

With prepatch now live in the US and EU, the long, weary Battle for Azeroth is officially, and finally, done.

We came a smidgen away from getting our first ever Cutting Edge, for killing N'Zoth on Mythic, but after 200+ pulls it just wasn't meant to be...

With the pre-tuning issues Hunters have at the moment with rotations over both specs, I've been thinking about a Plan B that would serve as a backup plan should Hunters not get smoothed out...

So PTR has now been up for the past week or two, and along with that, the plethora of changes to various classes on the beta has had me reconsidering my intent for Shadowlands...

Paladin beckons?

Trying to get value from a PS4 that's been largely ignored this past year...

Warlock didn't last long! Hey ho, at least I tried...

Back to the life of a Demonic Summoner on Silvermoon!

So the 15th Anniversary event is now over, and with it goes one of the most fun, useful and personally paradigm-changing events WoW has ever had: Korrak's Revenge.

So you need to install the Battle.net application on Arch/Manjaro, but are having issues?

Moving servers...

Having chosen to play as a Death Knight in Shadowlands, it was time to start levelling my Alliance DK and getting her prepped with gear

Ok, so you like the look of those Recruit A Friend rewards, and you'd like to get them yourself without waiting a full

But what if I don't want to heal though? Or, how to choose an unexpected main twice in a row. So after the

So with raiding off the menu until at least 8.3, and little else left to do ATM, it has gotten to "that"

So Blizzcon has come and gone, and we are left to pick over the information given, and try to surmise what comes next... First up,

Change is a constant. It's the only thing that is consistent and stable. Everything changes, even War (sorry Ron Perlman). So, as you&

So as of the current moment I'm no longer using Ubuntu Budgie. Not that I've had enough of Linux, oh no,

So 8.2 hits live servers on the 25th/26th, and with it the first really meaty fresh content dump of the now year old

So this past weeekend I made the decision to re-install Linux, and see how it went playing WoW and other games... Linux is something

So following on from my last post, which was a few months ago now (ingame news is, as per the expansion, slow), things turned out

Gee, thanks Blizzard... For the remainder of Battle of Dazar'alor, I will continue to play a Hunter. I've had to switch

How do you deal with an aging game during its low periods? BfA has seen an ostensibly large uptick in Store activity. In the 5

I'm generally an angry person. I have a lot of anger for a lot of things, and I tend to dwell on my

Or how I'm wringing enjoyment from a mediocre expansion via the medium of cold hard cash. Now the argument could be made that

As the year draws to a close, thoughts inevitably turn towards both the new and the old. 2018 for me was a tumultuous one in some respects, especially in terms of guild stability and raiding.

All for a hippo...? I've made the decision to engage in PvP for the majority of this expansion. PvP is not something I&

So it's getting to about that time where raiding activity winds down for the holidays, and players are mainly left to their own

So I've moved the website to a new host, as visitors to the site earlier today will have seen it in a state

Not a typo...

I had a bit of a late epiphany the other day. Call me slow, but I realised that given how much I love posting screenshots

Once upon a time dear reader, I was a member of the mighty Horde. I fought and lived and breathed Lok'tar Ogar, and

It's week 4 of Battle for Azeroth, and the meat of the expansion kicks off this reset! This week we see the opening

Battle for Azeroth has launched, and most of us by now will have at least one character levelled to the new level cap of 120.

So now we know who burned the World Tree Teldrassil, and boy it was a doozy of a reveal... Needless to say there are spoilers

So after I initially went through the list of possible mains for BfA a few months ago, and had come up with Hunter, plus some

I have now completed my year long journey of Mage Tower challenges. All in all I got a total of 26, with only Affliction Warlock

Battle for Azeroth launches in just over 2 months, and with it will come, as is the norm with any new expansion, many changes to

So it's around that time of the expansion, especially with Battle for Azeroth's Alpha now live for "influencers", that

So following the betrayal and collapse of Treehugging Hippies, Azrel and I, alongside Alternative Chat have decided to launch a brand new guild on Argent

Not quite the hot seat we were led to believe...? So Antorus has just finished its first week as current content, with today seeing the
