I have two posts upcoming that I’m sure will bore everyone to tears. In the meantime, here’s a game I’m looking forward to (until God of War 3 forces me to buy a PS3).

More notes on page views
Posted in Random on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Weekends have been consistently poor performers for page views. Inevitably I see a substantially lower view rate during weekends, which perhaps seems intuitive, but I do wonder as to the cause. I don’t think it’s straight computer access…I suspect it has more to do with people who read this during the week being parked in [...]

CamelCase Standards
Posted in Random on May 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Working in Java, the standard convention for naming both properties and methods of objects is to use camelCase, where the first letter of the property/method name is lower case. So, if you want to name a method “Do Something”, it would be denoted doSomething(). This contrasts to Object/Interface naming, which by convention uses CamelCase with [...]
Valnoth strikes!

The Lead World Designer for World of Warcraft says this: We made a hotfix yesterday to several hard mode loot tables in order to spread around Algalon’s weapon drops to make the items more accessible. Algalon still has loot that is unique to him, but the acquisition of the weapons in Ulduar won’t be so [...]
Does all my math make WoW suck?

Probably. I’m going to encourage you to read the first post of this thread. It does receive a Ghostcrawler response, and I know I normally link these from mmo-champion’s blue tracker, but I thought this time that the thread itself was worth linking, as it gets to a central point about the basic tenets of [...]

It’s this sort of prose that has kept me reading his assorted cumdugeonly writings for nigh on a decade.
Ghostcrawler Watch 5-2/08: Ghostcrawler almost admits he was wrong
Posted in Random on May 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Continuing the ongoing saga of destruction warlocks’ recent taste of being the least potent pve/pvp spec (something that I know a mage friend of mine will laugh at heartily and exclaim, “it’s about time” while grumbling about SB spamming locks in Sunwell), Ghostcrawler’s minions have arisen from their underground sanctum, hands drenched in the blood [...]
Ghostcrawler Watch Addendum
Posted in Random on May 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ghostcrawler has further updated his responses on incinerate: The tooltip says “Deals 582 to 676 Fire damage to your target and an additional 145 to 169 Fire damage if the target is affected by an Immolate spell.” What you can’t see from the tooltip is that the spell really says “Deals X Fire damage to [...]
World of Discourse
A repository of ruminations I think are worth sharing. It serves multiple purposes, such as recording thoughts for personal posterity, expressing ideas for discussion, ranting about world-threatening things, like video game balance and the lack of reasonable discourse on topics of matter in the past century of metaphysical discussion, and for simply being an additional method of social interaction, beyond facebook and myspace and twitter…somewhere for more meaningful and SLOW discussion.

With Metaplace entering open beta, I went to go take a look. This is probably more a function of my slavish tendency to click on any link Scott feels like posting, which has already landed – and will continue to land – me in trouble. I’ve known vaguely about Metaplace for sometime. It is, in [...]
