DKP system is a scam. It's an intangible currency which you can lose at the drop of a hat (or destruction of a guild...).
The thing is, if you play for 5 or 10 or 50 hours worth of time with your guild, and then it falls apart, you're back at square one. Look at it like this, you put in all that time to get to 60, and then all of a sudden you're demoted back to level 1. You'd be pissed right?
After doing all the sums, I don't really care much for end-game anymore. Kegan Has been WoWing for a year or so now, and only now is he fully geared out. A YEAR. I like playing the game, but fact is. I really don't have that much time. And unless DKP is implemented INTO the game, there's really nothing to stop you from getting screwed over. My guilds have currently had a 100% failure rate. And I've earnt so much DKP that I never got to spend.
It's ridiculous, Blizzard, you are screwing over your casual gamer. I can't even handle 60 PvP cause everyone else has T1+, and I get wiped in a few hits. Even if I wanted to, PvP gear would still be fairly hard for me to attain.
Still a great game though. Just wish I could be more pimped out without needing to have no life.
I'm out.

WoW! It's METEOS!
Yes, maybe you can tell, or maybe not... But I've gone back to WoW'ing a bit, and I also managed to snag myself a copy of Meteos for the DS for $30 (It's $70 everywhere else o_o)!!!
WoW is as awesome as ever, moreso since my loving Fiancee has started playing with me again. There's still no hope for me as a casual gamer though, all I can hope for is getting meager gear, and getting my ass handed to me by less-skilled better-geared players. But the expansion looks to alleviate that problem. With the revamped honour system, there will not be any decay (at the moment, you need to PvP about 6 hours a day for 3 months to acheive top rank - if you stop PvP'ing your rank begins to drop), so you can gradually work your way up to the good gear. A great idea in my opinion. And the arena system offers possibly a similar thing. You compete, get points, and spend them. No competing against other players and the clock.
As a casual gamer, I'm looking forward to the expansion.
Next is Meteos. I always read that it was a good game. A great game, even. But it's hard to understand something you've never seen in action. Why is it so good? You throw blocks into space? That's supposed to be good? Hell-Bloody-Yes. This is one of the most fun games on the DS I have. It uses the touch screen in such a way that, no D-Pad or analog stick can replicate it. You just can't play it as well using the pad. You can't. I'd explain it, but that wouldn't do it much justice. You really need to try it for yourself - or see it in action at the very least. It's awesome. I love it. How much? It's the kind of game you can sit down and play for 5 minutes, or a half hour, or an hour... And having said that, I've clocked 18hours of 'on time', with 12hours of actual 'play time', and I've turned it on 24 times. Great bloody game.
I'm done. I should sleep now. For anyone who cares, it's my Fiancee's and mine 5 months anniversary in 10 minutes. I'm out!

Metroid Prime 3: BETA, and SEGA's Warioware
Recently I purchased Metroid Prime: HUNTERS and Project Rub for the DS. Great games.
My thoughts will be quick.
Project Rub:
This game is an older title, probably released close to the actual DS launch date. And it kind of shows. It's merely a group of quirky (and perverted o_o) minigames utilising the touch-screen functionality. Quite fun. Especially good for killing-time, or keeping my sister (an avid non-gamer) occupied.
Metroid Prime: HUNTERS:
Another good game, although, when compared with Metroid Prime's 1 and 2, it appears to be incredibly scaled down. I've yet to test Nintendo Wi-Fi or Wireless-LAN, so I can only comment on the single-player. It's an ok game to say the least, and it feels a lot more like an actual shooter, allowing you to do fundamental things such as spinning around to view your surroundings while walking in the same direction. In the end, it really feels as though it's a filler game while development on MP3 ensues. Let me tell you, if MP3 plays like this, and encompasses a size greater than 1 and 2, I will most definitely be getting a Wii.
Haven't updated for a while, and I guess this is kind of a half-assed update... I should do this more regularly...
We'll see.
