Hoo boy, circle-strafing. Basically I suck at it. However, with a little help from a new peripheral and an hour spent coming up with a rather meticulous set of key-bindings, I'm on the (slow) road to improvement.

This week's Bear Shaman-flavored adventuring featured a lot of unlearning as I've scrapped the traditional WASD/keyboard-turning approach to Age of Conan that I've been using since the game's release. It's not pretty right now, but once the awkwardness wears off, I'll likely be much more adept at both PvE and PvP.

As far as content goes, I got Mr. Oakarm into his mid-30s and struggled to find a group for Stygia's Black Castle dungeon (still trying to coordinate one as of press time, in fact). Craig Morrison also weighed in with his monthly dev update, and all of this adds up to a lot to cover this week. Join me after the break for the details.

For those of you deeper into the gaming scene, no doubt you have put down some cold, hard cash every now and then for a gaming peripheral. A steering wheel to make you better at racing games, a customizable keyboard to boost your kill:death ratio, or maybe a weighted mouse to give you that better feel. That's exactly what this WolfKing Warrior is.

Just looking at it straight out of the box, one is likely to assume "Oh, I can just replace my normal keyboard with this!". I assure you, this is not the case. The layout is not tailored at all for typing, and it is also missing a few keys (the most glaring of which is the enter key).
