Armageddon Expo is not far away and I am getting more excited every day!
Armageddon is always a highlight for me. They have been running in Melbourne since 2007, and I have attended every one!
This year will see the event move to the Melbourne Showgrounds and allows for more space for all the awesome booths and guests.
And you can buy your Autographs and Photos tokens online and avoid a huge chunk of the queues (which is an awesome idea)!
Event general admission tickets are now on sale through www.ticketek.com.au. VIP tickets are also available and the Gold Passes are nearly sold out, so get in quick!
Of course I can’t finish this post without mentioning some of the great guests Armageddon have lined up this year. Here is just a few, with many more on their website – armageddonexpo.com

This is my latest Monk spec, Bushido. I used this spec on my Windwalker Monk from level 70 and up to take down my opponents. (I will post my hilarious level 1 – 69 long range Sniper spec another day).

This spec is all about keeping yourself at maximum health for as long as possible, by constant healing, preventing damage or just all out redirecting it. For this purpose, Glyph of Expel Harm is a must. Also, I love Chi Torpedo and getting to use it 3 times in a row with Celerity is hilarious (especially since it can be directed in all of 8 directions instantly). Now as for the damage aspect, Fists of Fury was my go to for situations where I had 3-4 enemies on me at a time, mainly for the stun, since Zen Sphere could be placed on 1 enemy as well as myself followed by my pummelling with Fists of Fury (which comes with a wonderful free stun). Afterlife is a life saver since a single enemy is easily dispatched giving you a chance at having the Healing Sphere drop for you, reducing the need to bring food with you (unless you wanted cooked food it for the bonus). Once level 56 is hit, the Windwalker Monk is a true force to be reckoned with, increasing all damage dealt to nearby targets by an astonishing 20% and reducing healing received along with Tigereye Brew to increase damage dealing further.
As for the survival aspect, Healing Elixirs is amazing in conjunction with Tigereye Brew or Energizing Brew to gain more life. Touch of Karma can be used on enemies up to 20 yards (thanks to the glyph) so no worries about ranged enemies pounding on you while you are taking down melee opponents. Ascension will give you the opportunity to have more uses of your chi required abilities. If the enemies around you start to bog you down after the Touch of Karma has worn off, feel free to perform a Leg Sweep, stunning all of your melee enemies, then roll to that pesky ranged enemy and beat the tar out of them, or use Storm, Earth and Fire to take him out while still attacking the melee enemies. So many choices so little time!
Sparring will also help to keep damage away from you, even further with the Glyph, which adds the negation effect to spells as well. If you have already used up all of your Chi Torpedoes and need to cover more distance, use Flying Serpent Kick to make the rest of the distance to the ranged enemy (especially for PvP of course, since Chi Torpedo already covers a good range) and also deal some damage as well as slow them down (which is also great in the PvP setting for flag carriers, who probably aren’t looking behind them!).
All in all, Bushido will instil the way of the warrior in you, granting enough power and discipline to take on any manner of foe!
MineCraft is my newest video game addiction, but my husband, Mr. Wow Yoda, introduced me to something so scary……the Enderman!
Endermen are skinny, black and creepy characters in Minecraft. They are so spooky and I tried to sit down and interview one, but because Enderman teleport around and never stay in one place for too long I decided to go and spend the day with one instead.
I arrive at the Endworld on a sunny block filled afternoon. The first thing I see from my window are Endermen bouncing from place to place. Immediately upon getting off the plane, I’m greeted by Henry the Enderman; who I cannot look in the eye. I’m taken to a dungeon where skeletons, creepers and every other spooky thing lives. Henry shows me around the place (remember, I am not looking him in the eyes or at least trying to avoid it), and gives me a pixelated block to sleep on through the night. Being human in the Enderworld is not fun so far. I am hoping tomorrow proves me wrong.
The next day consists of teleporting to an area populated by humans. Apparently the first order of business is to go to a local farm and toss sheep around like basketballs. You get three points if you toss a sheep into the lava, wow. Henry informs me that shearing the sheep is also a popular activity because the Endermen like to put the wool on as a beard, pretend to be Santa and scare the children. Next, we head over to some dirt blocks, pick them up from a human’s home and throw them in the water at a fisherman in a boat. Henry informs me that all Endermen like to give wedgies! Henry heads over to a local human, gives him a wedgie and teleports away. It was quite comical watching the human try to pull his underwear out of his backside.
Next stop, destroying someone’s hard work! Henry and I find the most elaborate mine. It’s got all the amenities, plenty of tunnels and a stockpile of TNT! We both grab some TNT, place it on key parts of the mine and boom! With his bottom on fire, the human ran out of that mine and into some nearby water; it was awesome! With all of the events I’ve experienced, I’m really getting into being an Enderman.
