Dragon Age: Adventures in Non-Consequences
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit listless with my gaming time — LotRO and DDO are all well and fine, but I’ve needed a bit of non-Turbine games to even out my play. Unfortunately when it comes to other MMOs, I either don’t feel a pull to go to them (my re-entry into City of …
Picture of the Day
Well, gee, who WOULDN’T want to learn about my failure? I’ll get right on that quest, thanks!
Pet Peeve of the Day
Yup, a new “of the Day” category! Today’s MMO pet peeve is that in every game, no matter what level I am or what I’ve done before, I’m constantly asked to prove my worth and earn the trust of every new group I come across. Seriously, guys, you haven’t heard of me? I killed 4,000 …

As I’m a huge fan of video game soundtracks, it was a treat to watch the latest TOR dev dispatch on the music in the game. What got me is the incredible amount of score they’re throwing in: 5 1/2 hours of original score, plus KOTOR’s score, plus John William’s movie score To me, Star …
Smile!
She never fails to make me smile in return, the little apple of my eye. Speaking of which, did you know “apple of my eye” is a biblical reference? I actually never knew that until last week. Huh.
38 Studios: The New ION Storm?
Okay, this is nothing but pure speculation and whimsy, but it’s been floating around in my head and I want to get it out there. I’m starting to get the feeling that 38 Studios, Curt Schilling and the super-duper top secret Copernicus MMO is taking the route of John Romero and ION Storm. It’s not …
