Midterms...

So, blogging and videos might be a bit iffy this week, because this semester is really whooping my ass. My procrastination with school work is my worst enemy this semester. It's pretty bad. I want to make a new WoW video, but am trying to think of what I should do. I don't want to do class guides until a little later and more people have hit 90. I think coverage on the new BG is definitely necessary, but it will be a while before I hit 90, and I'd like to do that first :)

What do you guys want to see? Possibly something Halloween related? Possibly a Halo video? Speaking of Halo...check out one of the sickest kills I've ever seen!

Thanks all :)

Some of my favorite video game soundtracks...

One of my favorite things about gaming is the music component. A game with a great soundtrack makes it so much more enjoyable, and makes the game a much more powerful experience for the gamer as well. A perfect example of this would be Jeremy Soule's scores in Skyrim. Kinda seems like a cliche answer, but really, the music makes the game that much better.

That being said, there are so many great soundtracks out there. Ocarina of Time is amazing, because the music actually has the power to bring me back to my childhood. I feel like a kid again every time I hear one of the songs from the game.  


Another game with a great soundtrack, although not being noted as a "classic" is Baiten Kaitos for Gamecube. I absolutely love this game and am obsessed with the soundtrack. There's such a great mix of different stuff, and all of the music fits perfectly with the gameplay. Man, if you haven't played this game I highly recommend it. 

Halo soundtracks are always amazing as well :) I should actually go download some songs....

Here we go!

Really sorry I haven't been consistent with posts. It's been crazy getting back from Germany, joining a leadership society, working, writing new songs, having a social life, and gaming at the same time. I will be trying to set 2 days a week to blog, and put up videos. I am really curious as to what days would be most appealing for you guys. I'm thinking I'll kick off with Sunday and Tuesday videos/blogs.  Can't believe we hit 800 subscribers. I honestly am so thankful. You guys get me closer and closer to my dream each and everyday.

The next few blogs will focus on nearing the Halo 4 Release (features of the game) as well as the progression of my Priest nearing 90! I will hopefully dedicate a blog per level (assuming I am leveling in good time) so hope you guys will enjoy it.

I'm also looking for suggestions for more WoW guide videos, as well as music tutorials.

Comment here, or comment somewhere on my YouTube channel/videos. I read everything you guys say and try my best to respond to all of your messages!

Much love xoxo

Also, here's one of my favorite gaming fail videos....MOMMM!

Is it time to join the Mists?

Oh man. Once Guild Wars 2 came out, I was telling myself that I would be cancelling my WoW account for a while, and that's something I have never done before. Now, I find myself kind of fizzling out of Guild Wars 2, and leaning towards Mists. I don't know what it is, but I guess when you've played a game for close to ten years, there's some sort of weird attachment, almost like you're in a relationship with it. Plus, I miss pew pewing heals on my priest and druid. Uh-oh. I think I know my answer. I'm secretly hoping my brother got me the expansion for my birthday, which is tomorrow, wooohooo! He normally gets me 1 year subscriptions for x-box live every birthday, but I have a hunch that he knows my love relationship with WoW. Hmm...We shall see.

Would love to hear what you guys think about Mists currently. I'm really debating playing again.

Will Mists of Pandaria Kill WoW?


I've been meaning to make a video on this, but in the mean time, I will write about it instead.

I haven't heard great things about Mists of Pandaria from fellow gamers, and a lot seem to be ending their WoW subscriptions because of the expansion. Many said the top reason was because an expansion about Pandas is just god damn ridiculous. What do you guys think? Will you be leaving WoW to try another game such as Tera or GW2? Or are you leaving because the expansion has nothing too great to offer?

On a personal note, Mists of Pandaria isn't too appealing to me. The only thing that jumps out are the landscape designs and also how players can level with other players from different realms, meaning that Azeroth won't appear to be a ghost town as you're leveling up. Blizzard is hyping up the Pandas a lot, but to be honest, most of us aren't even too thrilled about them in the first place. What started out as an April fools joke is now turning to reality. That's just not right!

So what CAN Blizz do to satisfy WoW players?
*As much as Blizz hates the idea, and as much as a pain in the ass it would be to develop, maybe Blizz should really consider Guild/Player housing. A lot of their subscribers have been asking about this for years. It could possibly bring back a lot of players.

*The honor system has to be changed. Your honor should be granted based off of damage done/healing done AS WELL AS specific BG goals (capturing a flag, defending a node, etc).

*Blizz needs to add a new component to the game. I know I mentioned this in a previous video, but it is true. PvP and PvE is enjoyable, but once we have completed the content and have to keep up on it with more than 1 alt, it can get extremely repetitive at a fast rate.  Blizzard needs to add another component besides PvP and PvE, or they need to add new ways to get equivalent gear in a similar matter. For instance, bring back world PvP, and make it possible to get honor gear that way. We also need something to do when we are just damn tired of questing, dungeon/raid grinding, BG grinding, and farming for mats.

*Change. Veteran WoW players seem to get bored of this game at a fast rate lately. All of my friends who have been playing since Pre-BC are on and off with this game, meaning they will play for 6 months, and then ditch it for 6 months because it has nothing new to offer. Blizz needs to spice it up and take some risks. They need to do major revamps that will keep players lured in for a long time. They should consider mounted combat  (players would have a an action bar of about 4 of their best moves, and their mount would have something specific, similar to a racial), they should consider character model revamps to enhance the graphics, a lot more customization, and etc!

More on Halo 4!


Hope you guys are as excited for this game as I am! Saw this video and thought of y'all. Definitely check it out if you can't wait for the Holiday season 2012 just because of this game! Remember, this is from the beta so it is subject to change by the time the game is released :) Enjoy! 

PS: Will be making a video soon. I feel so out of the loop currently and have to catch up on my shit! Hope you guys haven't forgotten about me :)
