For those that don’t know, MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online. For the most part, it refers to a video game played in a persistent world, housed on a server somewhere, that dozens, hundreds, thousands of people log in and out of and interact with the world and each other. They can be fantasy, sci-fi,…

Playing on Easy
So I got in this “discussion” the other day about the game Dragon Age: Origins on a board I frequent. I play games like this on Easy, because I’m more interested in the story than in the challenge. I was told that I’m not really playing the game if I’m not playing on Nightmare or…
ACEN Weekend
Spent the last 3 days in Chicago working at Anime Central (ACEN). It was my first convention of any type and I enjoyed it greatly. It had its downsides. Large, slow-moving crowds, body odor, dudes dressed in scanty girl costumes. But on the whole I enjoyed it and will likely do it again next year….
Lawful Good
I am incapable of breaking alignment. After finishing Dragon Age 1 & 2, I tried to go back into DA1 and play as a jerk. Couldn’t do it. Gave up in Lothering. Yes, that fast. I’ve been told by many, Uileat being one of them, that my real-life alignment is Lawful Good. I fought this…
Bucket List
This is a different idea for gamers. For us, a bucket list is a list of games we have to play through before we die. They are constantly fluctuating, of course, as we play through games and add new ones to the list as they come out. Mine also includes all those games I own…
New Stuff
Hi, you may have noticed some changes. Less obvious would be the new IP address (I moved my hosting) and a change in the links. The obvious ones are the ads. Hey, some extra money is never a bad thing. One of those ads is for my new business. Please feel free to check out…
Another one of those days…
Know what I mean? Probably not. I have these days where I feel like I’m supposed to be doing something. I’m not talking the dishes or vacuuming (though the apartment could use a vacuuming…) I’m talking about something meaningful. Most of the time, my “free” time is taken up reading and playing video games. Now,…
Still Dead
My PC is still dead. Getting a bit frustrated by not being able to play my games. Yes, I’m a gamer and mildly addicted to it. Mildly. If I was truly an addict I’d be spending all my savings so I could play Eve Online. Since my PC broke, Eve has come out with a…
All-Nighter
Working another morning show friday so I pulled an all nighter last night. Why you ask? That way I can fall asleep at about 2 this afternoon and wake up at 9 or so tonight to be to work by 11 pm. Fun. Then I’ll work an evening shift Saturday, and another morning Sunday night/Monday…
Retro Gaming
Been playing old games on DosBox lately. There’s definitely something about older games. They were more about gameplay than graphics. I know a lot of us old guys say that, but try this game. Graphics are pathetic by today’s standards. But its more fun than half the games out there. That is, if you…
