So back at the end of July I hit up Comic Con like I do every year. Was awesome, fun, amazing, etc, etc. Everything I expect Comic Con to be. Just putting this here as an excuse to also say my 2nd favorite convention is coming up and I'm going to that as well... BlizzCon.

Not much more to say than that. Probably the most interesting thing I've got going for me right now since I've been so busy with work. :P

I played Tabula Rasa last night during their free weekend with a friend (the free week extends to the 13th). The combat is still as fun as it always was, but I definitely noticed that things were harder to kill and I died a hell of a lot easier without constant attention to my repair tool (against a bazillion mobs, at least).

They redid the art and models on bosses which was pretty cool. There are zone-wide random events and radio missions on a more frequent basis plus new cinematics...

Still under some NDA, so chit chatting about AoC is kinda meh right now... I'd rather just redirect you to the Eventide Forums where all the good convos are happening anyways.

For the sake of attracting passers-by though, here's some screenshots I've taken from AoC. You can click on them to see the larger version.

So yesterday morning both World of Raids and MMO-Champion reported on a discovered set of /console based commands in WoW to tweak with your graphical settings to adjust them well beyond the top-end level that the sliders in-game allow you to do.

I've never been a graphics heavy person and I'm generally happy with anything that doesn't look choppy, its why I was able to live with the game for so long on my Mac because I could play with a steady ~30fps if I wasn't in a 25 man raid...

Currently at level 18, venturing around Bloodmist. Its pretty refreshing to not only be playing a class I'm not familiar with in any way, shape, or form, but also to be experiencing some content I've never actually done, which is particularly exciting for me since I've been playing WoW since June of 2004.

Fellow TankSpot guildies, let me know if you want to do some leveling together! I could use the company. :D
