“Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it for ever!”
This is undoubtedly the cry of many members of The Knights of Minas Tirith, a kinship on Landroval who suffered a particularly nasty robbery over the weekend. The RP neighborhood of Wildore threw a fairly elaborate block party this past Saturday night, with fishing and dancing and even a kissing booth. During the event, the …
Quote of the Day
“They have an aggro-range that’s roughly the size of a Sector, so if they can see you, then they’re scuttling towards you in Attack Pattern CLAAAAW!” ~ Hawley, on Fallen Earth’s Hermit Crabs
Technology: It’s FANtastic!
Today my wife and I went shopping for a used van — such are the necessities of a two-kid family. My two door Civic wasn’t really cutting it anymore when I was trying to navigate babies and car seats to the cramped back of it. So with tearfully fond memories of a car I’ve had …
TOR: A Companion To Call My Own
Having just finished Mass Effect 2, I can vouch that companions are an essential part of the BioWare experience. They’ve always been, really, and not just in BioWare — memorable sidekicks from Floyd in Planetfall to Crow in The Longest Journey have enriched our journeys, even though they were just lines of code. While people …
GWAR: When Guild Wars and Warhammer Online Merge
I can’t say that Guild Wars has ever clicked with me. It’s one of those games that I intellectually like, I appreciate its parts, but never have gotten hooked on it the way I’ve seen others get addicted. But in my enthusiasm for the upcoming Guild Wars 2 I became willing to give Guild Wars …
Quote of the Day #2
“It takes only one person taking RP events too seriously to ruin it for everyone. We have all seen this player. This person is typically in love with his character, and take everything that happens to his character seriously. This player is capable of single-handedly sucking all the fun out of roleplaying, and most likely …
Quote of the Day
“Turbine has had to balance creating an innovative and entertaining game with a lore beloved by many. They’ve had to balance creating a story that make you feel part of Tolkien’s epic quest, with classes that appeal to players, and with game play that is entertaining. I think that what these Lore Lawyers need to …
A Few Decisions
I’m taking inventory of my life right now and trying to reorganize my daily/weekly schedule to be more productive. I feel like I’m trying to accomplish a lot but in a haphazard way, and that is leading to frustration. I’m also getting back on the exercise bandwagon (yup, so easy to fall off) which means …
Apologies
I just wanted to apologize for my WAR/pink dye post the other day. It was written off the cuff without looking into the “Pink for Tink” thing that much, and I was just focused on being amused by the discongruity of Mythic being so anti-pink dye for a long time and now putting it in …
DDO Fail
So tonight we’re grouped up in DDO, doing one of the explorer areas, and we get so utterly lost that we decide to “deathport” back to town. One hot jump into lava later, and we all pop up in our respective taverns, ready for Round 2. All except our leader, Orvidos, who got sent aaaaaaall …
