It’s been a few days since my last post, so I thought I’d stop in and give you a quick update. My wife has this week off for the holidays, so we’re spending a lot of time together, not leaving much for gaming or blogging. That doesn’t mean nothing’s been happening, however. For example, we …

So, apparantly, I can’t ubsub from Fallen Earth
Update #1: Trying to re-up it didn’t work. I sent an email in to account support. I’ll let you know what happens. I don’t like recurring subscriptions. I just don’t, the mental weight of that extra monthly bill bothers me. So, I usually pay for a month and then cancel the subscription right there. I …
Big changes: tons of stats being removed and changed in WoW, hunters no longer use mana
Before I go on, take a minute and have a look at this. Coming in Cataclysm, Blizzard has plans to remove a relative crap-ton of stats from the game. When I first read this, I was pretty shocked. I mean, there’s a lot happening here, without even considering that hunters won’t have mana anymore and …
How to fix in-game events
Or, “Why in-game events don’t do it for me.” Enjoy! I’m not one of these guys that rails against in-game events. But, really, they don’t do much for me. Granted, I’ll usually poke my nose around and see what’s going on, but after a quest or two, and sometimes less, I’m out. Usually, I don’t …
Merry Christmas
From my family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas filled with joy, laughter, and good times with friends and family. Also presents. Everyone loves presents. This post, as a matter of fact is being written from my new laptop lap desk, with a built in light and mouse pad! And while I’m in …
The Multiverse – Episode #3: Epic Riknas
Hi Everyone, Welcome to Episode #3 of Riknas, Ferrel’s, and my pet project. We got together a little bit late this past week, so sorry about being a day late. This week, we talked about storytelling, immersion, and, yes, Epic Riknas. What is an Epic Riknas you might ask? Only the best up and coming …
Let’s talk about immersion
Ahhh…. immersion. It’s the thing most of us look for when we dive into a game. Yet, it’s also one of the most subjective we could choose to look at. Where does it start? How is it supported? And does it matter? I, for one, will say that immersion is one of the top goals …
Update: podcast, gone fishing!
Hi everyone, Finals week was an absolute killer, so I’m taking it easy here for a couple days. I haven’t disappeared totally, however, since we’re still on for recording the show tonight. Unfortunately, Syp may not be along after all on this episode due to some real life obligations. At this time of the year, …
This kind of player is no longer welcome in WoW
Courtesy of Tobold’s Blog, we have a relic of a long past age. I wonder what will happen when he finally gets that this kind of mentality is what Blizzard is working against? Raiding is obsolete only if you want to look good in your welfare epics. But, truth be told, there’s still the Battlegear …
Now taking questions for Syp!
Hi Everyone, If all goes according to plan, we’ll be having Syp of Bio Break on this week for Episode 3 of The Multiverse. So, we’re putting out the call for any questions or discussion topics you’d like to hear us talk about. Now, he’s a busy guy, and it’s finals week, so we’re not …
