Video : Warfish - A Great Game Of Risk ish !

Over the last year or so a friend introduced me to a great game site called Warfish.  They host a game called rosko which is essentially geek lovers classic game of Risk!  The unique thing about Warfish is that you can play games for free, on the starter map. However if you, or just one of your buddies, upgrade your account to a subscription plan then you can play on much more elaborate maps!   There are everything from Lord of the Rings stylized maps, to a Political Map of the United States, to a Salems  Lot themed map, all with their unique style of play.  Of course there are variants to the traditional "world" map galore, but there are tons of maps to choose from, so why not pick a unique one! (video after the jump)


The catch here is the subscription, and that the maps are for sale for $1 or $2 dollars, they do go higher but it better be a damn good map!  As far as I can tell the money for the maps goes to the map maker, minus a small transaction fee for warfish of course.  


For game play, you can also changed the rules a bit, cards, fog of war, etc., and depending on the map and how its created it can make for an awesome game of Risk. The best part is all the tedious things about risk are 

Video : Diablo3 Farming Zoltun Kulle For 30/50k XP The EASY Way!

Zoltun Kulle after you're
finished with him ;)

So I've been playing Diablo3 since its release and a few friends showed me how to farm the boss Zoltun Kulle for 30k/50k a pop and advance in some levels quickly when solo'ing.  It's a good way to get xp if your friends aren't around or you just want to power level through after playing through normal mode and already know the story. I've done this in nightmare mode and get 30k a pop, friends say in Hell mode you get 50k a pop.  So I imagine it'll work in all modes and increase in XP Reward! Woot!  You also occasionally get some "ok" items that drop but nothing to write home about.  This is more or less just to power level a char when friends aren't around to group up with.


The video below shows you how to do the initial rinse/repeat of starting the run and getting the XP.  The one thing I happened to discover in my initially fighting is that if you immediately run opposite of Zoltun and stand in the little area where the energy floor appears after the fight,  he'll stay opposite you in the other floor area, along with his minions.  Then you can just toss some ranged attacks at him and he'll just sit and take it.  No running, no dying, etc.  


Occasionally you might get a whirl wind attack coming your way but as long as you can withstand a quick pass through the tornado will keep going on and away from you.  Check out my video below:
