This past weekend was a good one. I got some work done, spent some quality time with my wife at home, and some quality time with a lifelong friend in LotRO. It’s been a long time since I’ve found myself adventuring through Ered Luin, the dwarf and elf starting zone. The last time was actually …

Happy Easter, everyone! Hopefully this day will be filled we happy times and laughter with your families. My own awaits this morning, but I wanted to stop in and share a sentiment in the spirit of the day. Let’s cut the gold farmers some slack. I know that’s not something you’d expect to hear from …

So, as I mentioned last night, I just purchased Star Trek Online from Direct 2 Drive. I had planned on letting the download manager run overnight but, as it turns out, I didn’t have to as the entire 8GB file downloaded in just under two hours! There were no patches to install or settings to …

Rewind: Should MMOs be Made From Books?

April 2, 2010

by

The following post was originally published on September 15th, 2009. It’s an intriguing topic, in my opinion, especially so with LotRO becoming more popular and titles like SW:TOR filling up our gaming horizons. What do you think, should MMOs be made from books and existing IPs or is there more value in creating a new …

I Bought What?!? (Yep, it’s Star Trek)

So, as many of you know, I’m not the biggest fan of Cryptic Studios. From where I’m sitting, they strike me as a company that rushes MMOs out the door that desperately need more time to polish. This, as far as I can see, is in the hope of getting some quick cash and avoiding …

First Days in Everquest 2

April 1, 2010

by

Happy Monday, folks! As I mentioned on a recent episode of our podcast, I never quite felt like I gave Everquest 2 a proper chance. Several of my friends and favorite bloggers play it almost exclusively, so I’ve always felt a bit of a gap in my MMO knowledge by not having played more of …

Bear with me here, because I know a lot of you only stop by to read about gaming. That’s cool. I like to think some of you may have noticed my lack of updates though and might care what’s going on. It bears a little explanation. It’s been rough patch, all, and that’s putting it …
