      Season One blog posts will be on a few hours delay

      July 13, 2010 /

      I couldn’t really have planned this worse. An opportunity arose for my girlfriend and I to get out of town and go see family and it’s about the only chance we’ll have this summer so instead of playing Season One tomorrow during the day, I’ll be driving from North Carolina to Ohio.

      As you can imagine, that’s going to delay my Season One coverage by a few hours. We’re leaving pretty early, so hopefully I’ll be up and running at my parents’ house by mid-evening and blogging as I go. Just so you guys know, I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet or fallen so in love with Xin Zhao that I can’t even spare the time to write.

      If anyone wants to celebrate the launch of Season One in style, check in around 9:30 PM EST. I’ll be there, ready to play with anyone that wants to. You can add me at “The Wiggin Boy.” Hope to see you guys there!

      All Roads Return to WoW: Tier set models are lame

      July 13, 2010 /

      Tier Blah.

      When I first started playing WoW I was so excited about the style of the game and enjoying the leveling process so much that I really didn’t care too much about tier sets. As I got more and more involved in the game, though, I started to lust after that gear a little bit. The original tier gear had really cool models, which is a big part of my drive for getting a piece of equipment.

      In Burning Crusade it was the same thing – the tier sets looked incredible. The Tier 4 sets remain some of my favorite in the game, and Tier 6 was amazing as well. I wasn’t a fan of most T5, but that might just be me.

      The current sets, though, are appalling. Most of the Tier 9 and Tier 10 sets look like a monochromatic blob of trash. Gone are the cool shoulder animations (remember those sweet priest shoulders with the blind faces of justice on them?) and the nifty details in the chest pieces and leggings. It doesn’t help that everyone is rolling around in the same gear because of the ease of the badge system, so as ugly as the sets are, I get sick of them much more quickly.

      Lucky for me I’m playing a druid, I guess. Bears always look the same…

      Looking back at the beginning

      July 12, 2010 /

      Nasus splash.

      My post last night about our first characters made me a little nostalgic. One thing I love about video games in general, especially those with a longer arc, is looking back to see where you came from, as cheesy as it sounds.

      Though I first played Kassadin, I really got my start with Nasus, the first character I picked up with IP. I was bad with him – awful, really – but I’ve come to enjoy Nasus in the right team comps. From there I picked up Twisted Fate because I loved his ability to port around the map. It was something completely new from DotA and dear god was it fun to exploit (TF is still on my top played because of my early obsession with him).

      My real come-from-behind story is with Shaco, though. I had started playing LoL just as Shaco launched, and I loved the idea behind him. I had also seen him do well in games but every time I played him, and I mean every single time I just couldn’t get anything going. My farm would be terrible, my item build was all over the place, and at the end of the game I just felt like I couldn’t do anything right. My brother actually used to laugh as he watched me struggle to put together some semblance of a decent game.

      Shaco has since become my most played character, and one of my better played toons, and I’ve come to enjoy a majority of the characters, each for their own reasons.

      Who was your first champion?

      July 12, 2010 /

      Kassadin.There’s a thread running in the forums right now about the first champion a player chooses. With Season One right around the corner, it seems appropriate to take a look back at where we all came from.

      Personally, I activated my LoL account sometime in early December and have been playing since. I want to say my first game was with Jax, but it may have been Kassadin. I can’t seem to find the email, but I remember writing to the two guys that got me into the game about how much I liked Kassadin. Coming from DotA, I thought, “Hey, it’s Magina! I’ll build him just like that.” So I went all out and bought a Wit’s End (maybe two – yikes) to try to burn down the other player’s mana and keep up my ability to Rift Walk. It worked at the time, even though it probably shouldn’t have.

      Where did you guys get your start? Any champions you used to love that have fallen from grace? Anyone remember when it seemed like Yi could hit 6 and rock an entire team?
