Guys at Gamestop already called me earlier today to come pick up my ordered copy. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow. Won't get to play it much till weekend though.

I'm sure it will be fun so have fun trying to take over the world.

Barbarians overran my capital in 20 turns....

That will teach me to have all my offensive units all over the map exploring.

We'll try again tonight Pinky....

I just won the race to colonize space last week in Civ 2. I have to fire up civ 2 and xcom at least once every few months.

Please review this. My computer is too wimpy to run it, so I'm still playing Civ IV.

Just read an interview on WSJ. Civ V AI sounds crazy sexy.

Rather get the Civit so you can see each time a new Barb population rises in areas you already explored!

Geeze Honors, now I might just have to pick this game up. I've been enjoying Medieval Total War 2 again, and could see the progression back to another Civ game. I havne't played one since 3 I think, so its about time.

Goblin versus Gnome Engineering in Cataclysm

-
I’ve made some changes based on the comments, and may continue to do so. As I worked up my Hunter’s Engineering, I got to the point of choosing between Goblin and Gnome Engineering. I’m doing this with an eye towards Cataclysm. I found very little help in several web searches, so I thought I would use my own reasoning as a guide to others who might be facing this choice. There was some talk about removing specializations from professions which would remove the choice entirely. I actually hoped this was route the developers would take. The profession specializations have been removed from Leatherworking, Tailoring, and  Blacksmithing. They have NOT been removed from Engineering or Alchemy. Jewelcrafting, Inscription, and Enchanting never had specializations to begin with. As of this writing (11.27.2010) Goblin and Gnome Engineering are still in play. However, there are no known Goblin or Gnome specialization recipes for 80 to 85, and if you base it on the materials needed the las...

Cataclysm Profession Bonuses

I mentioned towards the end of my last post that I would be switching my Hunter from Skinning to Engineering. Well the little caveat I made about not gimping myself turned out to be pretty important. I had a brief Twitter conversation with Fiest the Rogue. If you care about high end PVE raiding, you need to be following @ FiesttheRogue . He is a tremendous resource and very helpful. He gave me a link to an EJ article and explained to me that for melee DPS and Hunters Engineering is not competitive with what is provided by the other professions. Its fantastic for casters apparently, but I'm not a caster. Other classes can get equal STR or INT to the AGI you see here. Tanks have the option for Stamina. Alchemy - mixology (longer, better flasks), Alchemist Stone (special trinket - Mastery), and Flask of Enhancement (special flask +80 AGI) Blacksmithing - socket bracers, gloves (2 extra gems ~=+80 AGI) Enchanting - Ring Enchants (AGI to two rings ~= 80 AGI) Inscription -...

Leveling a Paladin in Burning Crusade Classic

Choosing the Paladin as your class shows remarkable good taste and high intelligence. I leveled my Paladin through vanilla World of Warcraft, and I'm currently leveling one in WoW Classic. This guide is an update to the one that was linked on the main World of Warcraft site during Burning Crusade and the information is accurate for Burning Crusade Classic . Which race should you make your Paladin? Honors, you are a rare combination of brains and good looks, what race should I make my Paladin Well, I'm glad you asked. Race isn't going to make or break your character, and you're going to be looking at that toon for hours on end. If you roll Horde, you're a Blood Elf . Next Question! Oh, wait, you're Alliance, excellent choice, my lad. Of the 3 Alliance races, I would say Draenei .  The Draenei starting area is cool, and tons of fun. Shadow Resistance and a free Heal over Time both work well with Paladins.  Humans are the best aesthetically, and the rep bonus is ...
