In a previous post, we built a private World of Warcraft server running the Wrath of the Lich King expansion with TrinityCore. This time we're building another WotLK server including PlayerBots with CMangos. After having played around with these PlayerBots I was really pleased with their behavior. I definately prefer them over the NPCBots we […]

That is exactly when this tutorial comes in handy! To streamline the process of creating a user […]

Here's a recording of a lecture by Jordan Peterson on the subject of: Are video games like World of Warcraft bad for you?

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 […]

Take a look at the gaming room of this guy. He is actually one of the people who used to work for Sierra back in the 90s. Or in other words, the glory days of gaming. I'm so jealous of this guy's collection. I also want this also! I NEED THIS!! I REALLY NEED THIS […]

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 […]

I haven't been playing the new World of Warcraft expansion Legion as much as I thought I would before it was released due to even less important activities that have been taking up most of my time. Writing this post for example might be one of those things. I'm even falling behind on some of […]

If you are a World of Warcraft player and know your stuff a bit, then you will probably see the fun in this video. If not, then please carry on, there's nothing to see here. Completely by accident, I found out that it's possible to be transformed in to a snowman, but still be able […]

Well this achievement only took me several years to get lol. A fair dosage of luck plays a big role in getting this achievement. I already gave up on getting it on my pally. But then, one hot Sunday afternoon, when least expected, I earned the famous Ironman Achievement. I really have the healer that […]

This is just some random battleground PvP gameplay I recorded somewhere during Warlords of Draenor Season III. To be honest, I still miss the way the game-play was for my ret paladin. Overall, I'm always happy or don't even care at all what Blizzard changes in the game, but this time I was really annoyed […]
