Picture of the Day
On the other hand, a tulip to the face just doesn’t have as much stopping power.
Casa de Syp
I’ve been meaning to show you around my meager home in LOTRO for a while now, so lazy Thursday post AWAY! The main room of my house, looking at my front door. Let’s overlook the fact that Turbine gives us too much dead space we can’t add anything to for the time being. I went …
Fear and Loathing in Las Trailers
So let’s talk about anticipation today. For my entire life, I’ve been one who always eagerly anticipates upcoming events with great glee, sometimes to the point where I spend far too much time thinking about them. When I was a kid, I used to plan our family vacations in my head — what I’d pack, …
It HAS been about a year, hasn’t it?
Much like Superman, it’s time for Mark Jacobs to return! “Well, the title pretty much says it all. Since EA and I parted ways last summer I have been on an enforced vacation (contracts are a b**** aren’t they?) and as always, I honored mine to both the letter and spirit of the law. Well, …
Quote of the Day
“Thing is, we all know the community in WoW sucks. It’s awful. It’s dreadful. It’s disease on the face on the virtual planet that needs to be wiped out by some sort of manners and etiquette learning virus.” ~ Gordon

Anticipating From Afar
As much as I love to look forward to games, I’ve become emotionally detached from a lot of the upcoming titles. I think that’s a reflex or something my body does to save me from months of agonizing wait, so instead it dials down the desire to pour over every new little scrap of news …
Quest Text of the Day
On occasion, LOTRO’s quest text is actually pretty humorous. I don’t know why, but “flight-of-fancy forge” struck a funny bone with me. I just feel bad for the quest text writers who know, with every inch of their being, that 99.4% of players will never actually read these words.
Married With Children Looking For Virtual Tabletop RPG
Ever since GenCon, I’ve been on a half-hearted quest to find an acceptable pen-and-paper RPG experience. Meeting in someone’s basement or comic shop is out of the question, as fatherly and husbandly duties keep me at home when I’m not working or at school, so I’ve been doing a bit of research into virtual tabletop …
