Unforeseen Consequences

As an old fart, I remember playing games like Half-Life and Half-Life II and of course Counter-Strike when it was still just a beta mod for HL. I played Counter-Strike for countless and many of times. Also, I played Half-Life and HL2 (source) even more. This is why I can really appreciate this docu video on YouTube that is all about HL, and it’s history and everything else related.

BFA is just around the corner

And with BFA I mean the new Word of Warcraft expansion Battle for Azeroth. This new expansion will be released exactly one week from now. The last expansion, Legion, was one of the best expansions we’ve seen over the years. I’ve enjoyed it very much. But to be honest, I stopped playing World of Warcraft several months ago. And this freed up a lot of time for other things that …

I hope this means that I will automatically also get access to the beta version that will be released soon. I’m not going to try the alpha version because well… it’s alpha. I’m not even sure if I will be trying the …

Achieving Ahead of the Curve: Argus the Unmaker

Today was a good day for me in the World of Warcraft. I got my achievement Ahead of the Curve: Argus the Unmaker by killing Argus in Antorus on Heroic difficulty. That means I also received the awesome mount that goes perfect with my transmog. Many thanks to Laurens and the people in his guild who made this possible by boosting me. So that’s one thing to cross off my …

Sea of Thieves

I don’t often think about playing any other game than World of Warcraft, but when I do, it’s about Sea of Thieves. After watching the video below, I realized it might be a lot of fun and really entertaining to play with some friends, and it comes pretty close to how me and my friends entertain ourselves in the world, of warcraft. One minor issue is that I don’t have …

This is going to change the world… of warcraft

Blizzard announced at Blizzcon 2017 that a new World of Warcraft called Battle for Azeroth expansion will be released somewhere next year. Awesome introduction cinematic, as always. I’m excited! I think most players are excited. Are you excited? The video below shows all the previous World of Warcraft Expansion cinematics in chronological order, including the very first one from 2004. That’s the one that marks my introduction to the game …
