New WoW Character Model Updates?!?! Yes please!

You can see that the talk is going all around about WoW model updates. It's very interesting to see what other players have to say about it! Hopefully we see this released soon, because Blizz is WAY overdue to add a bit more to character customization and to update the way our characters look! I'm sick of my helms being overlapped by my character's hair in awkward spots, and armor just not laying right. I'm also bugged by how nice some NPC's look, and how blocky my character looks next to them. /huff

But a lot of hype has been going around one image of a female troll model, and god I hopeeeee this is what it will look like. It has been getting me so pumped to see where blizz goes with these updated models! Is this something we can look out for at Blizzcon? I sure hope so!

Badass! WoW will feel like a totally updated game with these features. If you had the chance to choose, what would you add to character customization? For me I'd add height and weight options, as well as more skin colors/features we see from other NPCs in the game. Another player mentioned being able to make a Wildhammer Clan dwarf, or a brown orc. This is definitely something to be considered by Blizz, and could be a grrrrrreat way to bring players back!!!

WoW Guides Coming Right on Up!

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with Mists. As I said before, I will be getting into detail, but I don't have the time to do so this morning since I leave for work in less than an hour. Let's just say I'm back in my WoW phase where I want to play WHENEVER I get the chance. I will be looking into doing streaming (although I don't know if my computer can handle it, but I guess we will see), and will be making guides again! Yeeeee-haw!

To give you some insight on what class guides to look out for, my highest levels are a priest, druid, pally, DK, and a rogue is quickly making it's way up there. I will eventually get around to guides for (hopefully) every class/spec. LET'S GOOOOOO! 

Back on WoW and back in action!

It feels great to be back. I haven't really taken a break from WoW before, so I didn't realize how addicting it is coming back, even after such a short time away (3-4 months is short right?). 

I know a lot of you are probably SUPER confused with the way my channel is going. We've been through a lot of different types of videos, and I know it has been anything BUT consistent. That's something I really want to change. 

So. To give ya'll just a little insight. I will be shooting to make 1 piano tutorial and 1 WoW guide every month. 1337 Eats videos will be on a longer time schedule, just because I will hopefully be making a lot of original recipes soon, which requires a lot of playing around with ingredients until it tastes right. I'm not exactly sure yet how I want to do gaming update videos yet, that's something I haven't thought about yet. But gaming update videos and rant sessions will be around, although rant times being the least expected videos to look out for in the future. 

I'm hoping to make a lot of videos based on demand though, so be vocal! The music tutorial community is overwhelming me with suggestions for songs which is a good thing, because it ensures that I have a ton of videos to make, and that you'll enjoy them!

"I'm back!!!"

I have been taking screen shots from my time in Pandaria, and I will be giving you an outlined look at my adventures on my characters soon. My priest is level 90, which did not take long at all, and my druid is up to 87 but I'm letting her rest up. I haven't wanted to play my pally yet, which I apparently should, since I've been told that ret pallies are pretty strong right now. 

Here's a simple little screen shot for the time being. Pandaria is truly beautiful :)

My Laptop is Back!!!

Prepare for some 1337 Eats action guys!!! :D!!!

Music Page Added!

Although there is not an "in-depth" starting post, I added a music tab to my blog that is called "Songs of Time". In this portion of my blog, I will be helping you with any questions you have concerning tutorials, and will try to dissect each and every song for you, addressing any problems you may encounter and tips and tricks on how to fix this. Also notes will be listed! I will try to bring attention to whatever song brings the most concern with viewers first, which I think may be the Lost Woods Theme. Give me a holler and let me know what songs you need help with :)

Also added the 1337 Eats page, but that will be a while until I get that footage back! Let me know some video game dishes that ya'll are interested in trying! I know there are similar people doing this, such as "Gourmet Gaming" and "Feasts of Fiction", but I figured we could have alternative recipes that are simplified, or just have a different taste!

Big Changes, and XBOX ONE REVEALED!!!!

If you haven't watched the reveal video for the next gen Microsoft console, do that ASAP!

 You can find it on your home screen when you power up your X-Box. The game releases look pretty impressive (from the little bit that we have seen) and the graphics are just mind blowing. I don't want to give too much away in case some of you are trying to keep it a surprise, but there's a lot that you can do with the Kinect that really enhances the flexibility between console and television.

By the way, not a big fan of CoD but I must say that Ghosts looks amazing. Going to be a really good campaign mode, so I'm excited. The trailer actually gave me chills, and that's impressive, considering I really don't follow the game much at all. Check it out!

As for my channel, I apologize for the delay. In the meantime I will be working on a Piano Tutorial, and will hopefully be getting my laptop back somewhere in the next month. But yeah, I will be working on some subscriber requests. Later on I will be changing my blog so that there is a music corner where you can check the notes and I will list them for your convenience. It has been requested by a ton of users, so it's time to start organizing. Apologies for the mess in routine lately, but it gets hard to balance so many different things :)

We will also do routine voting on user demand for requested tutorials so that I know what my fans really want to see/hear. WoW tutorials will also be coming back soon, I promise. I've been a little out of the WoW swing lately and had to take a little break. Will be back on soon though. Let me know what videos/guides/games you want me to cover, and what you expect from my channel. It's all about catering to y'all!!

Much love, and check out the Xbox One! Seriously! And Ghosts!!!!!

No Reason to Brag Blizz.

So, it has been announced that WoW Subscriptions have fallen by a dramatic 1.3 million in the last 3 months. Owch. Activision CEO's are trying to offset the statements by saying that WoW is still the leading MMO with the largest subscriber base, but how long can they keep saying that before it isn't true? In 2010, Blizz had over 12 million subscribers, and now it has fallen to 8 over the course of about 3 years. The numbers are starting to drop faster and faster.

What does this mean for Blizz? How will they continue? This puts a lot of pressure on the next expansion, and I think it shows that there needs to be some change if WoW wants to keep their subscribers. A lot of people DON'T play the game because of the monthly charge. What if Blizz decreased the price down to about 10 a month, or maybe even 12? I know it isn't that easy, and would directly impact the company's income, but maybe it would draw more subscribers back, which actually would make the company more money.

Mechanics wise, I don't think it's easy to change mechanics and the way things run if players have been used to something specific for about a decade. Players are being taken over to other MMO's that feel more worthwhile, and honestly are a change of pace. I believe that every WoW player gets that hunch to play the game, and is drawn back after a break. In fact, I'm going through that hunch right now, and I only cancelled my account in February (don't worry, I promise I'll be back to make guides).

But I hope that Blizz can find something to really make this game "come alive" again or so to speak. I will hopefully be interning with Blizzard next Summer, and as you guys all know, I have a bunch of ideas to share with them. Who know though, maybe Blizzard knows it's time to move onto something bigger and better. I hope not though, because WoW has been my baby, and to see it fade and die down the way it has is truly depressing.

Damn it.
