Each week Arcane Brilliance examines the magical majesty of Mages, and usually makes fun of the wimpy whininess of Warlocks. See that? That’s some crazy alliteration right there. Also, I’d like to call attention to the fact that Arcane Brilliance called Warlocks whiny. Oh, snap! Coming from a column about Mages, that has to burn, [...]

The World Health Organisation on Wednesday raised its flu alert to phase five out of six, WHO chief Margaret Chan said, signalling that a pandemic was “imminent” following the swine flu outbreak.
“I have decided to raise the influenza pandemic alert from phase four to phase five,” the WHO director general announced after an emergency meeting [...]

Each week Arcane Brilliance glances around to make sure there are no Death Knights in the area, then daintily tiptoes out from cover long enough to throw together a column about Mages. Usually, this ends badly for Arcane Brilliance. Out of nowhere, a big purple rope-looking thingy wraps itself around Arcane Brilliance’s neck and drags [...]

Each week Arcane Brilliance drops at a 100% rate from your computer screen. It can be equipped in any slot, and doesn’t bind to your character in any way, shape or form. It can be disenchanted into whatever you want, and sells to merchants for a million gold. It is of legendary quality. When equipped, [...]

Each week, Arcane Brilliance gains 5,000 reputation with the Kirin Tor by writing a column about Mages. That’s right, I said 5,000. Are you reading this, Kirin Tor? I’m declaring myself exalted. Give me my dagger already, you selfish jerks.
I may have mentioned this before, but I’m an Arcane Mage.
I wasn’t always. I spent my [...]

To play Wrath tonight you’ll need to update the game. The game installs version 3.0.1 when you upgrade to Wrath, and you’ll need to update it version to 3.0.3. That means installing the following two patches:

Version 3.0.1 – > Version 3.0.2
Version 3.0.2 -> Version 3.0.3

You are in luck though and don’t have to wait around [...]

Each week, Arcane Brilliance delivers a serious burst of Mage content, a burst that can even out-damage a Druid’s HoTs. How, you ask? Hax. Lots and lots of hax. What, you thought Arcane Brilliance was powerful enough to out DPS a Druid’s heals legitimately? Sadly no. Arcane Brilliance cheats. Arcane Brilliance cheats hard.
Edit: Ok, Arcane [...]

A little while back the gamerDNA blog did a nice breakdown of how WAR classes correlate with how gamers do on the Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology, a widely used test that can break down exactly what type of player you are (Achiever, Explorer, Socializer, or Killer). It was such an interesting writeup that I [...]

We’ve posted a few times already on the bandwidth limits recently introduced by some ISPs, and in general we’ve decided that WoW doesn’t use nearly enough bandwidth to get you in trouble with your Internet Service Provider. That’s likely still true, but as this columnist at the BBC found out, if you’re close to the [...]

Daniel Howell contributes BigRedKitty, a column with strategies, tips and tricks for and about the Hunter class, sprinkled with a healthy dose of completely improper, sometimes libelous, personal commentary.
