The Gamer Lounge

Our twentieth episode has arrived!  It’s a little bit different of a recording setup this time, but really it sounds even better, which is rather surprising.  As you can tell from the above picture, we are going to talk about Michael Jackson, the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch, Serious Sam HD, and Best Buy selling used games and movies.  Other topics include my time with a PS3, Hero of Sparta, PSP Phone, 25 games you should play before you die, and more!

And by all means, don’t be shy about leaving reviews on iTunes or contacting the show!  In fact, it would be much appreciated.

Ever since canceling my World of Warcraft count a year ago, I am occasionally tempted to jump back into the game.  However, the idea of constantly updating addons, and big grinds to get anything cool always turn me off.  I never expected WoW to put out a patch that would actually cure my need for quest helping addons, nor did I expect them to lower the level requirement for a mount again as well as the cost.

Check out these little bits from the 3.2 Patch Notes:

• Apprentice Riding (Skill 75): Can now be learned at level 20 for 4 gold. Mail will be sent to players who reach level 20 directing them to the riding trainer.
• Journeyman Riding (Skill 150): Can now be learned at level 40 for 50 gold. Mail will be sent to players who reach level 40 directing them back to the riding trainer.
• Expert Riding (Skill 225): Can now be learned at level 60 for 600 gold from trainers in Honor Hold or Thrallmar. Faction discounts now apply (Honor Hold for Alliance; Thrallmar for Horde). Flight speed at this skill level has been increased to 150% of run speed, up from 60%.
• Item Comparisons: Holding the shift key while hovering over an item will now display the stat differences with the item currently equipped in the relevant slot.
• Quest creatures and objects will now show on the player’s world map.
• The quest log is now double-paned for more easily viewing quest information.
• Vendor prices will now be listed on items whether or not players are at a vendor.

Wow, I am very surprised.  I know some players might say this makes the game too easy, but for me it just makes it a lot more fun and playable.  I don’t know about you, but I HATE spending a half hour running around looking for a quest objective.  Whenever this patch makes its way onto the live realms, you might just see Kargo roaming around again.

At long last we have an episode again!  In this episode we talk about the delay, a car accident, Wrath of the Lich King, Quantum of Solace, Left4Dead, the iTunes app store, Thanksgiving festivities, and so much more!

In the show, we shared a few links with you that would allow you to keep tabs on what we’re doing.  They will be found below.  (But hey, you’ve already found my main site!  )

My sister and I temporarily take the reigns on this episode and talk about the new iPods, Chuck, Fracture, Warhammer Online, House, CSI Miami, and Larry Bear.   Also, a new hard drive, Apple microphone and how iTunes makes me an honest man.

In case you’re interested, I put up a new Casual WoW episode and updated the World of Warcraft for Newbies RSS feed. If this is your first visit to this site because of that episode, welcome! If you’d like to see that episode go HERE. (Just a quick warning, that site may be a little slow because, quite frankly, that host sucks!)

First off, a great thanks to all the readers/viewers of this blog!  It has reached 500 views now and continues to grow!

Well, I just got back from The Incredible Hulk, and I’ve got to say it was pretty good!  I wouldn’t quite put it up there with Iron Man, but it was good.  For this movie I’ll both mention it on the show and write a review.

I know the posts have kind of slowed down over the past few days and the reason was because I had to study for the ACT.  That’s done now though and I’m ready to post again.  By the way, for those Casual WoW listeners, I’ve reactivated my WoW account and am planning on putting out a new episode here this week.

While at the mall today I picked up Assassin’s Creed for $30.  I haven’t had time to play it yet, but I’m looking forward to it!  Anyone have any thoughts on this game?

By the way, if any Casual WoW listeners are here you will be interested in this.  Yesterday I reinstalled WoW on my computer and patched it all up.  You know what that means.  I might just be back in the game.  Which could lead to another episode… 

THIS is something you just have to check out!  A great follow up MMO to WoW!
