In Season 1, 47 fulfills several assassination contracts for the
International Contracts Agency. Though the contracts at first appear to
be unrelated, an unidentified man, referred to only as the "shadow
client", has covertly coordinated these contracts to attack a secretive
organization called Providence, so that the ICA will appear culpable
while disguising his own involvement. The final contracts of Season 1
address the fallout caused by the ICA uncovering the shadow client's
actions, and by Providence discovering the ICA's role in the attacks.
they are the first guild worldwide to obtain this achievement which makes it "World First")
It took 320 wipes to figure out strategy for the boss as he had several hidden phases that weren't mentioned in the Raid Journal and haven't been datamined before the start of the encounter.

First of all, I was happy when I saw that Square Enix started announcing and releasing remastered versions of Final Fantasy games. I was thrilled when Capcom announced and then released Resident Evil back in 2015 and then it's prequel Resident Evil 0 in 2016. Capcom also announced that they are working on Resident Evil 2 remaster set to be released in 2018. I can only hope that they will remaster Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Code Veronica as well. My heart was pounding really hard when Nippon Ichi released Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories in February 2016 and January 2017 respectively.
I never owned a console but having access to my friend's PSOne and PS2, I spent a great amount of time into these gems. As technology progressed, emulators were released and I spent a nice amount of time on them, once again on my PC. Now... Seeing that I can play these games once more, through the remastered versions with updated graphics, sounds, extra levels. Those feelings are priceless...
Back to the point... I was discussing some PSOne and PS2 emulators with my friend earlier today because he wanted to revisit some games that he himself played long long time ago and I mentioned that I have already configured PS2 emulator on which I play .hack//GU without any problems and the only thing he said was "oh that reminded me" and went silent for about 5 minutes... What followed were two words: "Rejoice motral" and then he dropped this on me.
And then, I was left speechless...
Video's first 35 seconds consist of an old footage/renders and then transitions into new remastered one with a glitch of a screen that was known to appear in the game, and it looks awesome.
Back in the days when I was no-lifer, I used to spend hours and hours playing this game. The game that my very friend, taunting me with the trailer, has infected me. Shitload of time was spent playing this trilogy, unlocking hidden levels, unlocking hidden weapons, enjoying the overall story of the game... And now, just like with Resident Evil and Disgaea, I will be able to go through the exploits of Haseo sitting in front of my computer with native PC support.
For those who never had the pleasure of playing them, .hack//GU is a Trilogy consisting of:
Vol. 1//Rebirth, Vol. 2//Reminisce and Vol. 3//Redemption.
Games simulate a MMO-RPG as the player controls a character who starts playing it.
The story focuses on a player named Haseo who hunts a player nicknamed Tri-Edge who defeated his friend Shino and left her in a coma in real life. Haseo comes into contact with other players who know of Tri-Edge and wish to stop him. The reason for Shino and several other players falling into a coma is connected with AIDA, a mysterious computer anomaly that infects the characters. Source: Wikipedia

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is a first-person shooter video game, the story of which takes place during the Pacific War. It is the 7th installment of the Medal of Honor series.
After being lazy for so long, I decided to finally get the hidden appearance for my [Ashbringer] and the entire process was a bit challenging... For my nerves...
Back in October, when I wrote about how I obtained [Lost Edicts] for [The Silver Hand] I mentioned a guide for obtaining the [Heart of Corruption]. Although we are deep into this expansion and those bothering to read my blog already obtained it, this post will be more of a summary than a guide so, here are my two cents about the whole process.
The entire quest chain follows an in-game "urban legend" where Prince Tortheldrin knows the location of the Ashbringer and that he will reveal it's location to adventurers who prove themselves.
2nd step makes you venture into Blackwing Lair so you can kill Nefarian and obtain [Head ofNefarian]. It is IMPORTANT not to complete the quest obtained while looting the head or you will be forced to wait for raid lockout to end and do the raid again. Like 1st step, this is easily obtainable on first run. BWL is a LVL60 raid instance and a walk in the park, facerolling through the place 1shotting everything on your way... I completed this during Patch 7.1.5 before Razorgore the Untamed was nerfed. The encounter required a bit of a coordination to avoid the room getting blown up. Even though we are LVL110 and this is Vanilla raid, failing the encounter still resulted in you being instantly killed. As of Patch 7.2.5, his ability to destroy the Eggs has been nerfed and made instant cast making his encounter much easier and faster.
3rd step. It's important to note that you need Artifact Knowledge LVL6 before going further. If Paladin is your main character, you are way past this however if you are doing this on your alt, you can't proceed further. Get your AK to LVL6 and then proceed to next step.
4th step requires you to talk to your Head Archivist and Keeper of the Ancient Tomes, Sister Elda. She is the one that helps you acquire Knowledge about your Artifacts and updates Libram of Ancient Kings with new Lore about them. She manages to reassemble the Guide to Extreme Anglin' and gives you [A Complete Copy of "Nat Pagle's Guide to Extreme Anglin'."].
For 5th step, you need to go back to Dire Maul and talk to Prince Tortheldrin. It is important not to kill Immol'tharbecause that will make Prince hostile to you. He tells you that a Female Dwarf / Male Tauren recently passed through with the same question as yourself and that, should you wish to learn more, you should find them.
So... 6th step takes you to Alexia Ironknife at Chillwind Camp / Bardu Sharpeye at Tirisfal Glades. They send you to Hearthglen in Western Plaguelands and tell you about a Scarlet Crusade Mage that has been creating powerful weapons.
7th step. Go to Hearthglen and read Grand Inquisitor Isillien's Journal located at coordinates 42.36 18.73. The Journal tells the story how the Mage has been killed and his body dumped near Thondroril River so that his body can be eaten by particularly large slime.
AND THIS IS WHERE THE AGONY BEGINS. AT THE VERY END...
Step 8.Large Vile Slime. An NPC that is easily killed with respawn timer ranging from 3 to 30 hours... I have been camping this Vile creature for 5 days without luck... Some people report that they have been camping even longer...
Now, don't paint me crazy. I wasn't sitting at my computer 5 days in a row and it never spawned. Because of Real Life obligations, I could only spare a couple of hours per day, during peak hours where the chance that he has been spawned and killed just before I logged in is rather high. So, for those 5 days, I came from work, logged in, placed WoW in background and then watched movies and catching up to missed episodes of some TV Shows that I followed.
On the 5th day, I forgot to log out and fell asleep while watching the movie from the comfort of my bed. When I woke up at 6AM the next day, as I was preparing myself to go to work, I looked at the login screen and decided to take a peek and I did not regret the decision...
Logged in, saw it spawned, killed the damn thing, looted the [Timolain's Phylactery], turned off my computer and went to work happy with myself.
Step 9. After coming back from work, I used the Phylactery and the Lich told me that he threw the crystal into the river hoping that someone would eventually find it.
Step 10. Fishing out the [Shard of Darkness]. RNG based drop with a chance lower than 1%. People have been debating which step was more mind numbing, 8 or 10. Some people reported about getting it within a few dozen casts while others talk about spending hours and hours fishing with no luck with casting numbers ranging from around couple hundreds to even several thousands.
Personally, I got the shard in less than 15 minutes with my fishing leveling up from 34 to 81. 47 casts. Not bad, considering the reports...
Final Step. Go back to your Order Hall and talk to Lord Maxwell Tyrosus. If he is not around the table, wait for him to return from the mission. He'll give you a quest, sending you to (Legion) Acherus: The Ebon Hold to seek the assistance of Death Knights so you can bind the Shard to your weapon, bringing the whole ordeal to an end...
In retrospect, the entire chain apart from Camping and Fishing was fun and interesting to do. Since I love the Lore it was informative for me. In my honest opinion, Camping part could have been replaced by some kind of challenge, some kind of logical mechanism you need to figure out so you can get to the Slime, or even gathering/grinding for materials in order to summon it. Just sitting in one place and camping is mind numbing and excruciatingly boring and it could have been done better. Overall, it is a nice flavor thing to have.
Anyone ever wonder what would have World of Warcraft looked like if it was created 35 years ago?
Rkade Soup on YouTube released a video showing how the game would look like if it was created back in the NES era. Take a peek... It's really interesting, I must say.
Looks hideous, doesn't it? And when I say "hideous", I mean awesome. What? It's a fantasy universe... We are all attracted to all things weird and creepy and, THIS should be another one of those cases.
This is one of the hidden mounts introduced in Patch 7.2 and it was discovered only 2-3 days after the patch was released. Although I am in process of obtaining this mount myself, I did not write any part of this guide and I am posting it here for those that are following my nonsense on-and-off blogging attempt...
Trailer for the Patch 7.2 for World of Warcraft has hit the internets yesterday and, I gotta say that with each new cinematic I am more and more amazed...
There is an active promotion that I didn't write about because I got it in the last minute (literally) and, well... Event just got extended.
"For Azeroth!" is an event that began on February 14, 2017 and concluded on March 14, 2017. For it, you need to download and play Heroes of the Storm. During the event, you had to be playing 15 games in a party, with at least one friend, and playing with Warcraft hero so you could get credit counted toward the quest.
Flames of Judgement Charger Mount and 10 Day Stimpack in Heroes of the Storm.
Because of the people like me, who were racing to get the mounts in the last minute, the event got extended and will end on Sunday, March 26. If you already started doing the quest but gave up at the last minute because you didn't think you will make it, your quest progress is saved.
So... All you need to do is dive back in. The easiest way to do it is to get your Battle.net friend in a party and queue for AI matches with AI teammates for fastest queue (Thanks to Wesker who pointed this out to me and Redub who pointed it out to Wesker) and you'll have your mounts in no time.
Once you have completed the 15 games, Charger will be available for you to use in HotS while Flamesaber will be waiting in your mailbox first time you log into WoW.
I know I haven't posted much lately and, to those interested in crap I am spewing on this blog, I apologize. All I can say is that the Game called "Real Life" has an awesome graphics, realistic physics, somewhat average story progression, shitty economic system and leveling is mind numbing. And from that point, into the story.
By the title of the article, you can guess what I am gonna write about... With the release of Legion all primary professions got a little bit of, lets name it flavor, where you get quests in Vanilla/TBC style in which you need to do something to learn or improve your crafting skills. I don't know about other secondary professions but Archaeology has gotten some sweet bi-weekly quests where you get some rather nice rewards ranging from Artifact Power, Pets, Toys... And a Mount... YES, A MOUNT. Specifically, [Spirit of Eche'ro].
Eche'ro was a powerful white moose who accompanied Huln as pet, mount, and battle companion.
After Eche'ro's death, his bones were scattered across the region of Highmountain. This week, you are sent to Lessah Moonwater, a Highmountain Tauren Archaeologist, who dedicated her life to preserving the legacy of Huln Highmountain.
After she tells you she uncovered a [Bone Fragment of Eche'ro], she sends you to find his remains so you can give him a proper burial Eche'ro deserved.
During the quest [Laying to Rest], you are sent to Highmountain Archeological Digsites to find 600 [Bone Fragments of Eche'ro] and bring them to Lessah. Each Dig gives from 1 to 9 fragments with [Angry Tauren Spirit] giving up to 20 Fragments when killed (assuming you annoy one of them to appear).
After the burial ceremony she binds Eche'ro's spirit to you so he can accompany you just like he once accompanied Huln during the War of the Ancients.
