NPC Comic

My brother shared this on my Facebook Wall and I found it hilarious. Maybe you will too. See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

The World of Warcraft blogosphere exploded with discussion about Real ID during the past few days, and it’s time to hitch NPC to that bandwagon. Not for the sake of hitching, but rather because I’d love to know what you NPC readers think of the fact that in the near future, you will be required [...]

On Thursday I asked if you bought the in-game non-combat pets from the Blizzard store. 885 votes later, we have this: So 49% aren’t interested in buying the pets. (The first answer plus the third answer.) At least 30% bought some or all of the pets/mounts, and let’s make it 33% since a lot of [...]

Given the topic of recent comics, I figured this poll was in order. Have at it! And feel free to share you thoughts on the matter of micro-transactions in MMOs in the comments, whether or not you’re a WoW player. The poll will close Monday evening and I’ll do a post about the results and [...]

My DnD group just finished our first campaign together. For a couple of us, myself included, it was our first tabletop RPG experience ever. Hopefully our rag tag crew of level 4 heroes will go on new adventures soon, but until then, I had some thoughts regarding the different gaming experiences I get from DnD [...]

And they weren’t the only ones. The Google logo was….different, Amazing Super Powers replaced their home page with audio renditions [...]

A couple weeks ago I took a poll of fellow WoW players to see how many are authenticating. The results from this very unscientific poll were encouraging – out of 477 who voted, 310 use a Blizzard authenticator to protect their account. 167 do not. Two thirds of those already using an authenticator at the [...]

A recent NPC comic, The Protector, brought up the subject of account authentication, and several people left comments about their own authenticator experience. I want to hear more, so I figured, poll time! I didn’t get an authenticator until this winter. Up until December I played WoW exclusively on a Mac, so I was living [...]

I love the world events in WoW. They always get me in the game no matter how busy I am. It’s that feeling that something special is going on for a limited time that really sucks me in. I’m so close to completing the Meta achievement: What a Long Strange Trip it’s Been, but I [...]
