What is extreme soloing? It is soloing game content that was originally not meant to be done by one player, such as older instances and older raids. Typically, this content is challenging, otherwise it isn't extreme. I realize that "extreme soloing" isn't the coolest name for the activity, but it is the name already in use and I see no reason to clutter things up with new terms so long as they work.

The Millions: Deckle Edge in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

The deckle edge dates back to a time when you used to need a knife to read a book. Those rough edges simulate the look of pages that have been sliced open by the reader. The printing happened on large sheets of paper which were then folded into rectangles the size of the finished pages and bound. The reader then sliced open the folds.

Welcome to the beginnings of my Death Knight Outland gear guide. This guide is to help you find the best upgrades for a Death Knight while leveling through Outland. I’m making it a goal to get the gear as soon as you are high enough level for it so that you can continue laying waste to the countryside on your quest to Northrend.

Siliconera » SNK develops the snack size RPG

SNK has an interesting solution for RPG fans that can’t commit dozens of hours to a single RPG. Stories in Kimi no Yuusha can be completed in half an hour. In the short amount of time you go through story sequences, a world map, towns, battles, and an epilogue. However, you can’t “beat” the game during one lunch break. Kimi no Yuusha contains 25 story missions and 50+ side story missions. If you want to complete everything expect to spend around 35 hours playing the game.
