Method’s Heroic Highmaul Raid
Well that could have gone better.
Just as several million people tried to log into World of Warcraft servers, a very serious, very coordinated DDoS attack hammered Blizzard. Plus, wait queues of hours, thousands of people still trying to log in. There’s anger, and understanding. Some people are already Level 100, and some have set to set foot into the Warlords of Draenor content.
Screw it. I can’t even get to my computer for another week. You hear that Blizz? You’ve got about six more days. Work that shit out.
Let’s think about better times. Hey, remember Blizzcon 2014? That was fun. I followed it on Twitter and even that got me stoked. I watched some of it live on my phone, when I could. I missed Method taking on Midwinter in the Live Raid. In a recently posted video, Method’s guild leader Rogerbrown explains how they tore up the speed run on Heroic Highmaul and did Midwinter dirty.
You might as well watch it. It’s not like you’re going to be playing WoW anytime soon.
Blizzcon 2014 Fallout – Overwatch
The big reveal at Blizzcon 2014 came out of the blue. I think many were expecting an announcement of an expansion for one of the current intellectual properties. No one was expecting the announcement of a brand new IP, especially after the demise of Titan. Titan fell, and from its ashes rose the phoenix that is… Overwatch.
Bellular Gaming does a great job in giving an overview of what to expect. They had live versions to play at Blizzcon, and between that and the Overwatch merch people were sporting, the game is a success before it even hits closed beta testing.
