As I’ve jumped around from game to game this past year, I’ve always made it a point to be sure I have an active guild to play with. I did the same with every character I had on WoW. This morning, playing through Fallen Earth without a guild, I did some thinking about why this …

Delightfully ominous, isn’t it? Tee hee. Well, there’s no foreshadowing here. It’s been a few days since I last checked in, so I thought it was about time for an update. So, where have I been? As always, plugging away at Fallen Earth but at a much slower pace than I’d like. I’ve been talking …

I just wanted to direct everyone over to Darren’s blog, where he announced yesterday that he’s retiring from blogging. He’s been at it a long time and has done a lot to support the MMO community, it’s sad to see him go. Head on over and say goodbye, if you haven’t already. Thanks Darren!

As I play more MMOs, I feel like I’m widening my horizons and discovering more about myself as a player. One of the things that I’ve found out is that I really prefer smaller and quicker to finish zones. I like to feel like I’m moving forward with my character, not only in gear, but …

Hey guys, I just wanted to take a minute and point you all over to Dungeons and Draeni. It’s Kromus’ new blog and webcomic. He just started up this month but he has some funny stuff up over there. My favorite so far is “You Know You’re Addicted” but they’re all worth a look. Go …
