BFF Report - Cataclysm 4.1 - Zul'Gurub
Oh look, Blizzard is rehashing old content again.. or are they? I know that ZG is a "kind of a big deal" and the fact that its back is right up there on the "bigdealness" scale, so I decided to throw together a nice dungeon guide for those that are looking forward to it.. and for the noobs that can't not stand in things that kill you for some reason..
Since it's dropping prettydangcloseto raid quality gear, will those of you who aren't raiding yet focus on farming up ZG and ZA, or will you just skip it and get right to 10/25s?
Overall, how do you guys think it compares to OG ZG?

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - Hotfixes vs PTR
Blizz has been doing a pretty good job preventing people from getting too comfy with their toons with the constant barrage of hotfixes lately. But, are there really more hotfixes now versus what they've done in the past, or is their new policy of 'transparency' causing more unrest than resolve? What about the PTR? Is that all but useless now that they are making changes almost daily?
Also, PvP issues from the perspective of a 3100+ rated player, sad violin music, and more tinfoil hat talk as we connect a few extra dots between Bungie and Blizzard in the 'next gen MMO' fiasco.
BTW, I'm the
FC
of our rated battleground team and we stream (
defense
and
offense
) the games (w/sick haxball matches inbetween) at 7PM PST Tues-Thurs. Sooo... you should come watch us be terrible at Gilneas.

BFF Report - Battlestar Galactica Online
Since you more than likely can't play WoW at work, let me show you a possible time-sink alternative.. assuming you can get the unity engine installed on your corporate workstation, that is. Battlestar Galactica Online may not be the first browser based MMO, but it is easily the best looking and definitely the most basedonaTVseries'esque game playable in your Netscape (or whatever fancy browser you kids use nowadays) browser. Let's take a gander at it...
So, which of your all-time favorite games would you like to see a browser port of?

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - WoW as an E-Sport?
Yo dawg I herd u lyk hotfixes.. Rly Blizz? With a hotfix going out almost daily, is this changing the way you go about your day to day gaming? I mean, what if you come across some wtfpwn _____ that your class can pull off, will you be put off on using it in fear of an insta-nerf?
What about RBGs as legit E-Sport?
This week's Legendary is chock full of questions...
Lastly, if you could build a WoW theme park ride, what would it be?

BFF Report - RIFT - It Has Dungeons - Just like WoW (again)!!
So this week I got a chance to put together a nice little dungeon guide for a handful of the first few instances in RIFT. I was pretty impressed with how they compared with pre-cata lowbie instances, but until my group has to defeat a slobbering biped who takes shelter in a bubbling cauldron, I'm not quite sold...

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - 4.0.6's Pros & Fails
Well, 4.0.6 is out and it is everything we could ever have hoped it would be, unless you are a feral druid or arms warrior, of course. On last night's LEGENDARY, we went over some of our experiences thus far with the new patch (RBGs, LOL Barad, etc) as well as some of the nonsense PVE progression drama that's been happening lately.
Also, be sure to check out my new WoW machinima show starring the lovable Darnell, "Blizz Blues"
Also also, come tell me how terrible I am at PVP when I stream our Rated BGs tonight at ~7PM PST.. watch

BFF Report - StarCraft 2 - Custom Maps
If you own StarCraft 2 and are looking for a multiplayer experience that doesn't require a bajillion actions per minute, or if you are just bad, I think I've found the custom maps you've been waiting for. Outside of Left2Die needing a major difficulty buff, this is a pretty solid set of custom maps from Blizz... now sup with the DOTA mod I played at Blizzcon huh??
True story: Played a game of Starjeweled last night with Draknorr (president of ZAM) on my team and he is SO BAD OMG GET CARRIED MOAR

BFF Report - RIFT - It Has PvP.. Just like WoW!!
If you've ever been in an MMO beta, you know that everyone in it is terrible at PvP. It's not that the terrible players from current games are looking for a new MMO (although it seems like it at times), it's that players are simply testing out different facets of gameplay.
"Oh look, I can kill people!"
*keyboard turns*
*clicks auto-attack*
*holds S until passes out*
It's the equivalent of someone grabbing the flag, running out the tunnel, making a 90 degree left and going right up the ramp. THIS IS EVERY GAME IVE PLAYED.
So, consider this a PSA for
non-PvP'ers
who are looking into getting into RIFT..
and PvP'ing

BFF Report - DCUO (part 2)
So many hoops have been jumped through to make this episode happen, but it was well worth it. Admittedly, superhero games are not very appealing to me, but I do love playing vicariously through the eyes of some rather iconic hero figures: Gizmo Duck, Commander Planet, Black Dyna..wait, what??

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - World of Starcraft?
This week we got our hands on some footage of an incredible SC2 mod called, "World of Starcraft" and it looks like since the show, Activision has ordered that all the trailers be removed from YouTube, a classy move, of course. We also covered the latest PTR changes as well as some silly drama between the top raiding guilds.

BFF Report - RIFT!
RIFT RIFT RIFT OMG RIFT OMGGGGGFFFUUUUUUUU-
That's pretty much been all I've been hearing these past couple of months. So, of course, I had to try it for myself...
This week's episode covers more of the general functions and mechanics of the game as I was playing through beta 3 & 4, and I try to do a bit of comparing against some
slightly
more popular MMOs...
So.. ARE YOU TOTALLY RIFTING BROz? Or do you think this game won't be able to live up to the hype (inb4 'nvr herd of riftLOL')?

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - 4.0.6.. RLY BLIZZ?
Woo! Blizz unleashed a tidal wave of changes to virtually every corner of WOW. It's gotten to the point where I'm worried that my Lil' Rag will have his cooking buff nerfed into the ground. In last night's episode (that we do live every Tuesday night at 9pm PST on
GameBreaker.TV
), we covered the meaty parts and were even able to squeeze in GC's "We aren't nerfing heroics" blog along with the "We are nerfing heroics" patch notes.
What changes have impacted you the most?
Would you considered the heroic changes a nerf, buff, or mix overall?

BFF Report - DC Universe Online
I got to play this game back at E3, and the PVP was ssiiickkk. It felt like playing Unreal Tournament (and for good reasons), but with superhero capabilities. Unfortunately, due to some weird beta quirks, I wasn't able to get involved in the gameplay aspects of the game.
The good news: John Smedley, CEO of Sony Online Entertainment, watched the show and wants to hook me up with some gametime when it goes live since beta go rough towards the end there (as they tend to do). Next week I'm going to be covering RIFT (which Im
live streaming today
from 10-4pm PST), but after that I'm open to suggestions.. Would you guys be interested in a follow up episode to cover gameplay mechanics and pvp in DCUO?

Legendary - The WoW Video Podcast - LOLbarad
No, seriously.. lawl@this entire fiasco over the holidays with Tol Barad. On top of that we've also been slipped a small tidbit of exclusive TITAN information that may require aluminium foil headwear, and then there's this "issue" with heroics being too hard?? Good lawd.
Two big things in the episode..
1. What kind of changes would
you
recommend for Tol Barad?
C. Are heroics really
that
hard?!?

BFF Report - Top 5 Most Controversial Games of 2010
While you guys were out having a good time with the Loot King, I was running all over the MMO-verse keeping up with the latest it had to offer. By proxy, I was also absorbing all the crazy crap that some of these developers do and figured it would be fitting to package it all up nicely into one big fat.. er.. fony report.
Any shockers?
p.s. A message from Darnell
regarding Tol Barad
.. he doesn't sound too happy.
