The Old Republic Revving Up
It may just be my imagination, but the press corps of The Old Republic are picking up the pace — in the past month, we’ve found out four new classes (!), a new planet, and other significant scraps of info. With the class list complete, TOR moves on into a new, unofficial stage of the …
/AFK – Jedi, Jedi Everywhere edition
So. Much. Turkey. I may not survive. If it comes to it, my final words will be… “check out these links…”: ITG re: WoW – “My question is this – why doesn’t Blizzard steal all the successful community crafted mods?” KIASA re: Healers – “Finally a pair of integrated loudspeakers rotate from their resting place, …
NaNoWriMo: Fin
I think this’ll be my last NaNoWriMo post for the time being. It was incredibly cathartic to type in “The End” to my tale, and just to know that it was done, I had crossed the finish line, and I could stop writing for now. Not that I didn’t love it, I did, but I …
What EQ2 Hath Wrought
A few days ago I handed out a homework assignment to any EverQuest 2 bloggers/players out there — I wanted to hear what features of the game they considered to be better done than WoW (or features that WoW simply doesn’t have). Not for bashing purposes, but just out of curiosity why these gamers had …
MMOmeter – November 2009
Whew… I’m not really consistent with this feature, but from now on, I’ll try to post this at least once a month. The MMOmeter is a quick look at how I’m personally feeling toward existing and upcoming MMOs, ranging from hot to cold. So how’s the MMOmeter changed since this past June — and what’s …
NaNoWriMo: An Announcement
Homecoming: A Comedy of Errands, my novel, is now complete. 50,573 words! I am elated, zonked and a bit sad. NaNo is a tremendous time of the year, and I’m terrifically happy that I did it once more. My wife hasn’t finished her novel, but she’s over 52,000 words right now and still clicking. We …
Giving Thanks
Here in the USA and perhaps in other countries — French Indochina? I don’t know — it’s Thanksgiving, which means that I participate in two of the three great traditions for this holiday: awesome, copious amounts of food, giving thanks for the blessings that God’s given me, and football. Between parades and football on TV, …
Calling Out EQ2ers!
Do you play EQ2? Are you a blogger? Could you do me a favor? Since EQ2 is hitting its 5th year anniversary as well, one of the things I would love to read is an article about five features or aspects of EQ2 that are better than World of Warcraft. I’m not asking for a …
$50 too much for Fallen Earth? How ’bout $25 then?
Steam’s running a short-time sale, offering (among other games) Fallen Earth for half off. They’ll even sweeten the deal with special in-game faction t-shirts. You can also pick up Champions Online for $20, which is a pretty good deal as well! Check it out!
