I’m returning from my mini blog-cation to bring you this sexy, sexy post. Now, back to that shadowy corner by the fire… Take a look at the banner up top. See that burly guy talking about zombies or some such? That, my friends, is a dear old friend of mine born from the lands of …

Hey Gang, Just a head’s up that I’m taking a little time away from the blog this week. News is slow, so it’s a good opportunity for me to step back and recharge my batteries. Fallout New Vegas, aka the single player version of Fallen Earth, — seriously, I have a new-found appreciation for that …

Hi Everybody – I’m currently writing this from my PSP right next to the Grand Ol’ Niagara Falls. My wife and I picked up for a weekend away, but I wanted to stop in and wish you all a nice, spooky Halloween holiday. From our family to yours…. boo! 😀

Edit just to put this up front: the bugs, really, are a side issue and I’m sure they’ll be fixed (even if I do think this holiday is especially below their usual standard). The main reason I’ve come to this conclusion is the total lack of consistency this expansion will introduce. See the comments section …

The Fun of Discovery (and Other Inchings in XIV)

October 27, 2010

The past two weeks in FFXIV have been fun. It’s definitely been about discovery for me. I’ve spent a lot of time exploring and seeing where it would take me. The game holds up so well to that kind of gameplay that I really feel like I’ve totally reorganized how I approach the game. But …

What’s In A Main?

a. MMORPG

October 26, 2010

by

Grumpy Dorf of Raging Monkeys raised an interesting question recently: what goes into a main character? It’s deceptively simple, really, and I’ve never really thought about it much until now. After reading through the post, however, I couldn’t help but question myself. There is certainly more to each it than which character I happen to …

TOR Might Wind Up a “Clone”– Why Is That Bad, Again?

October 20, 2010

by

It’s been interesting to watch how the public interpretation of The Old Republic has changed since it was announced. It went from godsend, to F2P (oh noes!), to godsend, to the current point of “It’s a WoW clone” disappointment. On one hand, I empathize with people that want something new and are tired of the …

When I first started writing this blog, I had a plan to interview my favorite bloggers. Partly I wanted to do this because it would make for good reading, but mostly it was because I always find myself wanting to ask specific questions of those I read the most. I’ll also often wonder about who …

I have a funny relationship with LotRO. We’re an on-again, off-again kind of couple. Sometimes she gets all hot and bothered when I’m ready to sleep for the night. When I’m in the mood, she immediately tells me to run to Rivendell for some milk. But, honestly, most of the time I’m just out with …
