Gamers Documentary Reviewed
A while back I was fortunate enough to get in touch with the team responsible for a film I had caught on the
Documentary Channel
titled
Gamers
, which gives an introspective look at the phenomenon of massively-multiplayer online games, specifically World of Warcraft. I got in touch with their team and they sent me a copy of their documentary to check out, and I thought I'd share my opinions with you guys. The filmmaker, Ben Gonyo, interviewed a variety of World of Warcraft players just like you and I for insight into their world and playing habits. It was a pretty interesting look at the subculture we've grown so accustomed to, and many subjects common to seasoned players were addressed, such as finding a guild and the dedication and requirements of being in one.
Check out my own view on the film as well as a video clip after the break!

The Weekly Marmot - Raiding and Dual Specs
This week, I talk about utilizing dual specs properly in your raid. Not just from an "oh crap all our heals are afk cookies" perspective, but how to use that flexibility on a more regular and "official" basis in order to strengthen your guild, how to make sure the dual specs you're using are gearing up effectively, and what it all means for the pure DPS classes!

BFF Report - DCUO (part 2)
So many hoops have been jumped through to make this episode happen, but it was well worth it. Admittedly, superhero games are not very appealing to me, but I do love playing vicariously through the eyes of some rather iconic hero figures: Gizmo Duck, Commander Planet, Black Dyna..wait, what??

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - World of Starcraft?
This week we got our hands on some footage of an incredible SC2 mod called, "World of Starcraft" and it looks like since the show, Activision has ordered that all the trailers be removed from YouTube, a classy move, of course. We also covered the latest PTR changes as well as some silly drama between the top raiding guilds.

The Weekly Marmot - Guilds and the Raiding Experience
So a lot of you were a little upset about my answer to Phalion's question on
last week's PST
. "How DARE you, Lore! Some people need vacation time!" you said. This week, I decided to take a little time and explain when and why that's acceptable -- and also when and why it's not. Also, I am very good at math.

BFF Report - RIFT!
RIFT RIFT RIFT OMG RIFT OMGGGGGFFFUUUUUUUU-
That's pretty much been all I've been hearing these past couple of months. So, of course, I had to try it for myself...
This week's episode covers more of the general functions and mechanics of the game as I was playing through beta 3 & 4, and I try to do a bit of comparing against some
slightly
more popular MMOs...
So.. ARE YOU TOTALLY RIFTING BROz? Or do you think this game won't be able to live up to the hype (inb4 'nvr herd of riftLOL')?

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - 4.0.6.. RLY BLIZZ?
Woo! Blizz unleashed a tidal wave of changes to virtually every corner of WOW. It's gotten to the point where I'm worried that my Lil' Rag will have his cooking buff nerfed into the ground. In last night's episode (that we do live every Tuesday night at 9pm PST on
GameBreaker.TV
), we covered the meaty parts and were even able to squeeze in GC's "We aren't nerfing heroics" blog along with the "We are nerfing heroics" patch notes.
What changes have impacted you the most?
Would you considered the heroic changes a nerf, buff, or mix overall?

BFF Report - DC Universe Online
I got to play this game back at E3, and the PVP was ssiiickkk. It felt like playing Unreal Tournament (and for good reasons), but with superhero capabilities. Unfortunately, due to some weird beta quirks, I wasn't able to get involved in the gameplay aspects of the game.
The good news: John Smedley, CEO of Sony Online Entertainment, watched the show and wants to hook me up with some gametime when it goes live since beta go rough towards the end there (as they tend to do). Next week I'm going to be covering RIFT (which Im
live streaming today
from 10-4pm PST), but after that I'm open to suggestions.. Would you guys be interested in a follow up episode to cover gameplay mechanics and pvp in DCUO?

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - LOLbarad
No, seriously.. lawl@this entire fiasco over the holidays with Tol Barad. On top of that we've also been slipped a small tidbit of exclusive TITAN information that may require aluminium foil headwear, and then there's this "issue" with heroics being too hard?? Good lawd.
Two big things in the episode..
1. What kind of changes would
you
recommend for Tol Barad?
C. Are heroics really
that
hard?!?

The Weekly Marmot - 10 vs 25: In Review
This week, I put a little retrospective on exactly how the 10man vs 25man split is working out. Now that the general populace has actually some hands-on time with the new system, how does everything stack up? Is 10man raiding actually viable, or are 25mans still the only "real" option?

BFF Report - Top 5 Most Controversial Games of 2010
While you guys were out having a good time with the Loot King, I was running all over the MMO-verse keeping up with the latest it had to offer. By proxy, I was also absorbing all the crazy crap that some of these developers do and figured it would be fitting to package it all up nicely into one big fat.. er.. fony report.
Any shockers?
p.s. A message from Darnell
