		<description><![CDATA[How hard is too hard?  This is not a question normally associated with WoW.  In fact many players (especially those playing other MMO’s) have critiqued WoW as being too easy.  But the fact remains – Arthas, the final raid boss of Icecrown Citadel, the pinnacle of WOTLK raiding, has been active for over a month and only two guilds have killed him on heroic difficulty –and both kills were in 10 man format.  If most the best guilds in the game can’t kill Arthas after a month is he too hard?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WoW is a good example of an MMOG – but we often forget exactly what that stands for – massive multiplayer online game.  Take away the multiplayer and all you have is a massive empty world, and an even harder time getting people together for group quests.  In the end WoW is only as much fun as the people you play it with: your friends and your guildmates, which is why I am so excited about the changes coming to guild structure and management in Cataclysm.]]></description>

Sure, you can run up to an enemy and punch them in the face or swing at them with some sort of melee weapon, but that’s not always effective. In the case of Borderlands, it’s suicide unless you’re playing Brick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember how great the original Indiana Jones movies were?  I am not talking about that monstrosity with Shia Labeouf, I am talking vintage Indy here, Raiders of the Lost Ark or Last Crusade style.  Those movies made Archaeology sexy.  I even rated archaeologist equivalent with astronaut or fireman as a profession choice after watching those movies. Unfortunately for ancient relics (and damsels in distress), I never quite made the cut as an archaeologist.  In Cataclysm, however, our characters will have the chance to be archaeologists, so grab your hat and whip and let’s talk about the new profession Archaeology and the new mechanic, the Path of the Titans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The equation above has nothing to do with aerodynamics, nor is it important for tax deduction purposes.  It is, in fact, the equation required to calculate armor penetration cap for a given player.  Confusing?  Yeah, it’s about as obvious as an invisible midget.  Unfortunately for us and our calculators WoW has accumulated quite a few midgets since the game first debuted in 2004.  Not only do they make our heads spin trying to optimize our gear, they also make loot itemization a nightmare for developers - “Wait do we stack haste with armor pen?  Or was it agility?  Hold on, this is mail, do we need intellect here too?”  It turns out that in addition to remodeling our zones Blizzard intends to overhaul our stat systems with Cataclysm too.]]></description>

But, such is a day in the life of Borderlands. These happenings may seem unorthodox, but they leave no room for boredom. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cataclysm will remodel old zones, create new ones, add new instances, and of course, add two new races to the game.  But in the midst of all this upheaval many players will notice that their talent points have changed.  This is a perfectly normal occurrence and will happen to everyone when they enter Cataclysm.  There is a lot of rumor circulating so I wanted to take chance to explain exactly what (I think) is happening to talent points and what you should expect from Cataclysm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WoW is all about killing bosses.  It’s true.  Where do all the storylines in the game converge?  Where does the best gear drop?  And where is the most challenging gameplay found?  It’s not a world quest, it’s certainly not PvP, it’s all at the biggest baddie in the instance.  It doesn’t matter if you’re talking Deadmines or Icecrown Citadel.  In the end, WoW is only as good as the boss fights that Blizzard gives us.   If every boss was the same fight, no one would play – thankfully for us; Blizzard has given us some variety in boss fight mechanics.  Below I will go through some common fight mechanics…but do we need more?]]></description>
