The continued development, or evolution, of classes in World of Warcraft (WoW) has taken a turn for the better in 2007, thanks in great part to talent tree revisions resulting from the Burning Crusade (BC) expansion. Players are now expecting existing issues to be rectified in future patches, and 2008 marks the release of the [...]

When Asides/Sidenotes stopped working properly at mendax.org a mere two weeks ago, our troubleshooting didn’t turn up any solutions, and we ended up getting diverted and began researching new WordPress themes. Finding such themes has always been an annoyance, firstly because finding a good-looking theme that promotes the atmosphere we want is difficult, and secondly, [...]

A little over a year ago, I commented on the success of World of Warcraft (WoW), and predicted that despite WoW’s financial success, games like EVE would build a comparative player base as early as the end of 2008. Obviously, I didn’t predict the problems associated with EVE since then, the problems associated with the [...]

Apparently the Librams section of mendax.org broke some time back, which appears to be the result of the Articles plugin failing after a WordPress upgrade. After finding a few minutes to look into the matter, we found a solution, and readers can once again take a look at the “major” posts on the site worth [...]

This minor change brings the removal of the Target Range addon, after we realized that a recent change to MetaHUD added a more accurate range display option than previous versions had. The fact that the Hunter deadzone was greatly reduced only makes Target Range that much more redundant.
We’ve also dropped the link to MacAceUpdater, the [...]

When I brought up the trend of World of Warcraft (WoW) bloggers adding fora to their sites, I commented on the redundancy this created. I’m revisiting this topic because BRK’s commenters didn’t take too kindly to the implication that I was bashing their Hunter-leader, despite the fact that I clearly stated that BRK’s fora managed [...]

I can’t be the first to think that Jobs’ keynote this year at Macworld was sorely underwhelming. It’s almost as though someone took a bunch of cool products and removed the must-have capabilities of each, and sold them off like some sort of cheap Chinese tech-gadget knock-off. The MacBook Air, Apple’s flagship of the show, [...]

What is this, the Reality Distortion Field (RDF) at it’s best? TUAW’s claiming that news of movie rentals via iTunes is making Blockbuster and Netflix stock drop, despite the fact that movie rentals on iTunes is nothing but novelty. Don’t get me wrong - the fact that I have a new rental option is nice, [...]

In keeping with our trend of sticking to Ace addons, we’ve finally replaced Bongos 2 with Bartender 3 for handling our action bars. While Bongos 2 has an awesome built-in keybinding utility (which I hope Bartender 3 incorporates in the future), Bartender 3 is a tad easier to configure, and having a shared library with [...]

I’ve had enough of PitBull, because despite the fact that it’s highly customizable, it’s just a pain in the ass to configure quickly. That is to say, the out-of-box functionality leaves much to be desired, and at current, it’s the addon that takes me the longest to configure to my liking. This is because silly [...]

I am aware that the front page (at least the main column thereof) is displaying nothing but old posts. If anyone knows how to resolve this, I would greatly appreciate it. This problem suddenly began yesterday, and I did not change anything to cause this. Since the problem started, I updated the WordPress files to [...]

Although previously included in mendax.wow, the Arena-specific addon Proximo was previously undocumented, and is now included in the compilation. BulkMail2 was removed from mendax.wow since multi-item mailing was included in the last patch. Also, we’ve added TwoBox Toolkit, which helps automate certain actions for players who dual-box.

And don’t say it’s the “Dire Bear,” because that’s lame. In previous World of Warcraft (WoW) patches, we’ve seen talents give us Moonkin form for the Balance tree, and Tree of Life form for the Restoration tree, and yet the Feral tree is looking pretty sad without an “advanced” form.
What we should see is a [...]

I wasn’t a fan of many decisions Blizzard made back in ‘06, which is why I stopped playing World of Warcraft (WoW) for eight months. Admittedly, Blizzard’s track record in ‘07 was much better, as they did a better job of balancing classes, fixing issues, and bettering the overall game experience. That’s why when I [...]

According to PhoneDifferent, version 1.1.3 of the iPhone firmware is soon to be released, and as with 1.1.2, the new “features” coming with it are about as underwhelming as it can get. In fact, almost all of the new features already exist in the form of native applications for the 1.1.1 “jailbroken” iPhone, including program [...]
