DDO: Adventures
Between last night and today — the first day off I’d had in quite some time — I was able to pour a bit of time into DDO. The growing verdict (and I’ll have a bigger review soon) is that I actually quite like this game, perhaps far more than when I first played it …
Real Life Intersecting
Right now we have my wife’s aunt staying with us, the latest in a parade of relatives coming to pay homage to our son (who now has developed the completely awesome ability of grabbing chest hair/beards, not that the women have to worry about that. Well, most of them.). She’s a nurse, a missionary and …
Catching Up: The Old Republic
Frank at Overly Positive examined probably one of the more apprehensive subjects of BioWare’s new MMO — won’t all players just make Jedi/Sith anyway? What will the game be like with just two primary classes and six minority ones? He makes some good points, but I’m still a tad worried about it. Especially because I …
WoW: Betrayal
I don’t know why microtransactions in World of Warcraft bother me so much when I find them fairly acceptible elsewhere — perhaps it’s just the desire to take a shot at the big kid, but more likely that I have residual loyalty to what WoW once was, and see Blizzard chopping up and parceling off …
Catching Up: DDO
Anton has a funny quote about the potential benefit of DDO. Before I left, I tried something out: I installed DDO on my work computer (do I game at work? Rarely, but once in a while I’m stuck at the office for a 14 hour day during which I have a couple hours to kill …
Catching Up: LOTRO
Oh, what a week to be gone in Lord of the Rings Online. The two GMs (husband and wife) in our kinship are about ready to welcome their new baby into the world, and Book 8 finally hit the servers. There’s actually not a great deal to this book to interest me as a level …
I Am Awesome
This has nothing to do with games, but it made me laugh really hard: From Fail Blog
Catching Up: Warhammer
First of all, I think out of anyone, I have some sort of residual coming to me for this whole “BioWAAAGH” moniker. No? Did you write for both WAAAGH! and Bio Break? Didn’t think so. WAR’s come almost around to its one year mark, and it looks as though they’re already aping some of their …

And now I’m going to bed.
