The Armory Is An Invasion Of Privacy, Period

[caption id="attachment_1438" align="alignleft" width="165" caption="And posting your details on the Interwebz!"][/caption] So, there are some new fancy features over at the WoW Armory, including a nice 3D model viewer of your characters. It's really nice and I can't believe it took this long for them to get it in there - FigurePrints have been able to access that data through the Armory backend for a long time. But good stuff, finally! And then there is the feature that has got some people up in arms - the "Recent Activity"-log. It's a simple feature, it simply updates what you've done in the game ...

Hello Leveling, My Old Friend

[caption id="attachment_1375" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Motivation. I don't have it."][/caption] If you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed that I downloaded the World of Warcraft-client today. I have yet to resub, but the client is installed and ready to be played. For some reason, the cold weather we are having in Sweden makes me want to play again - that, and this post at Spinksville reminded me about how much fun raiding can actually be. The tipping point came when I logged in to Star Wars Galaxies this morning. My Jedi is currently stationed in Anchorhead, where she does terminal missions ...

Gold Spam Nation: Why buying gold makes you an asshat

Or "Why trying to exaggerate your way out of being an asshat is not working, you're still an asshat for buying gold". [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="152" caption="Gold spam at its finest."][/caption] If you're not playing Aion, chances are that you've still heard about the gold spammer problem the game is currently facing. Take a look at the picture to the left, that's the Looking for Group-channel on my server (Castor-EU), a snapshot of about 5 seconds.

GRTV: Torchlight review

Me and Thomas practically forced our camera guys to shoot this review of Torchlight, during which we praise it to no end. Can’t stand listening to how good a particular game is for 6 minutes? Then skip this review and go straight to Steam and buy the game.

I’ve skipped talking about the game here, it’s been doing the rounds in the blogosphere since release, but I’m glad I get to express my love for Runic Games’ Diablo-clone through video instead. Dragon Age: Origins is getting the video treatment as well and that review should be up on GRTV early next week.
