I’d Like To Get Ahold Of Her Ample Nacelles, If You Know What I Mean
I can’t explain the currents of my whims and tastes, but I found myself once again drawn to Star Trek Online (I know, I know) after reading a bit about the Season 2 update. I wasn’t under any delusions that it suddenly morphed into an awesome game, but I needed a bit of mindless violence …
Passion, Fun and the Battle Against Cynicism
Those who know me know that I have five overriding passions in life. I am passionate about my faith and my God, which is the entire reason for my being. I am passionate about my lovely family, who bless me every day with their love and general hilarity. I am passionate about writing, as you …
Eee Queue Too: Extended Boogaloo
When MMO historians look back on 2010, I think they’ll find it ironic that the biggest cataclysm of the year had nothing to do with World of Warcraft’s third expansion. Instead, it’ll be the domino effect of subscription games toppling over into free-to-play/freemium/hybrid payment models, spurned by the success of smaller titles with these models …

Ways to make me totally not take you seriously as you go on a rant against the game we’re playing in regional chat: Pronounced with dead certainty and on high authority that the upcoming patch will kill the game forever Hand us your resume as to how many level capped characters you have and how …
Picture of the Day
I came across this wall painting in a goblin-infested section of Moria. It really tickled me, and I imagine the Turbine artist had a lot of fun doing up this little mural.
TOR… in… SPAAAAAAAACE!
Without further ado: Excuse me one second. /deep breath WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! I think that “Please oh please can we do stuff in space?” was the number one question BioWare’s been getting slammed with for a while now, and for good reason. Star Wars without space combat isn’t Star Wars, at least, not to me and my …
