WoW Naman: A Look Back at Jollibee Goodness

Jollibee 10-man raid, anyone?

In a few weeks, the Pandaren will be unleashed throughout Azeroth with World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Mists of Pandaria. While I am actually still undecided on whether the new expansion is still worth purchasing and resubscribing to, my 7 free Come-Back-To-WoW days made me reminisce back to the days when our guild, Jollibee, was still a bustling community of Pinoys from all over the world.

Our already abandoned blog is still up for everyone to see, so I got bored enough to read through some of the blog posts and comments from way, way back.

Raids: Karazhan, Zul'Aman, and Naxxramas. Cleared them all, but not without much pain and suffering. And dancing thanks to Heigan. Too bad the videos are no longer available. We made attempts on the other WoTLK raids as well, but those were not documented, unfortunately.

Drama: Oh boy do we have them. Loot drama in a shared Naxx 25 run, /gquits galore. I guess a full-fledged guild will never avoid these things. Besides, a little craziness is a good thing once in a while.

Random stuff: Various screenshots of nothing in particular. And as a bonus:

Oh, wait...

Zelda Nina versus Luigi Law - Tekken graces the WiiU

During the media blowout a few days ago for Nintendo's next generation console, the WiiU, a slew of titles were announced for its launch window. For the very first time ever, a Tekken title will grace a Nintendo console.

While a Tekken title normally wouldn't deserve my attention, I accidentally watched the game trailer last night, and Tekken has never looked this fun:

The Kingdom Beckons

AAARRRRGHHHH

From non-existent to slower than normal. My internet connection speed is killing me. Slowly.

One Small A-Pause-A: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Demo (PC)

I deleted the demo from my PC. After three playthroughs using different characters, I can't take it anymore.

WoW

Because I don't want to spoil the game much more when I finally get the game in a few weeks.

From slight disdain due to the uninspiring title and complete ignorance of the game's existence to a possible day one purchase, the demo has done wonders and made me do a 180 on this game. Three playthroughs with different character specs each time, this is the longest I've played a demo since the original Puzzle Quest. Right now, I'm actually regretting that I deleted the demo.

WoW again. I can't see a thing.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning plays like a single player MMO with a more polished World Of Warcraft-esque graphics and an engaging action-oriented combat. Skill points, talent trees, crafting, all the RPG essentials are here.

Some major gripes though: the camera controls are atrocious and the "open world" is marred with quite a number of invisible walls. The former is a bigger issue for me, and thankfully, the game's developers are working hard to get those right. Still, these issues didn't dissuade me from enjoying the 45-minute open-world play that the demo delivered. The demo is a must try for the RPG fanatics.

Now only one question remains: Steam, Origin, or Datablitz?

Surprise! Diablo III is Delayed! For the 73rd Time!

Too bad, looks like Diablo III is delayed for a bit more, so says the blue.

Diablo am sad

AND, looks like there'll be some significant changes to the game as well, at least compared to Diablo II gameplay:

• No more need for Scrolls of Identification
• There will now be a dedicated potion button

And some other changes that are relevant to the on-going beta. Not gonna bother with it since, unless you're in the beta, you can't really miss what you never had. Yeah, I'm bitter. But hey, feel free to check the link out for more details.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

From the dregs of (personal) obscurity, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, an open-world RPG from EA, reared its head to say hi.

Well hello there. Downloading (3GB) demo now! Will post impressions soon-ish.

Diablo 3 Soon?

A Best Buy store supposedly has this fantastic poster up:

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

That's February 1, 2012, by the way. Joystiq has the news.

Hmm. I'm actually not sure whether to buy it immediately or not. *ducks from chairs being thrown in my direction*
