This game, you guys, this game. Just when I think I'm done and I've moved on to either a new MMO or single player game, I find myself sucked back into Azeroth. This game is just so good. I'm not shy to admit it. I was away on a business trip for a few days... Continue Reading →
Adventures Back in Azeroth
Over the long Memorial Day weekend, I patched up WoW and logged quite a bit of hours spread across a couple different characters. Every time I take breaks from WoW and come back I am greeted by such a vibrant and deep world and I always wish I'd never left. This time was no different.... Continue Reading →
Why MMOs keep drawing me back in
I don't really have many wants for games to purchase and play. I'm pretty fortunate in that my budget set aside for gaming has allowed me to buy just about every game on Steam that I could possibly want, leaving me with over a hundred unplayed-yet-purchased games that I could install at any time. Even... Continue Reading →
It’s been a month since I’ve written?
Eek, I've been a bad, bad blogger. Admittedly, I haven't been playing all that much lately because other things have taken over my life. But here's a quick rundown of what's been occupying my time: Bioshock Infinite. Yep, I bought it and I was taken over by how beautiful it is. I still haven't quite... Continue Reading →
A Lonely Guild Wars 2 Experience
Supposedly, Guild Wars 2 is bustling with activity and it's alive and well. As someone whose max character is now level 20 in the game, I have to say that the newbie areas are a very solitary experience. I rarely see another player in the game, except in the main cities. I wouldn't really have... Continue Reading →
RIP Google Reader
I knew this day would eventually come, but I had myself fooled into thinking it would be long after something superior came out to take its place. Google announced that they'll be discontinuing Reader in July. This is pretty heartbreaking to me, because I follow nearly 600 different blogs and news sources. Google Reader is... Continue Reading →
[LotRO] Screenshot Dump!
SimCity was crapping out on me all night, so I spent some time roaming around in Lord of the Rings Online. I'm level 9 now and I just got my first trait. I'm sort of just questing around along with exploring and I just learned how to craft (which seems the same as WoW's crafting,... Continue Reading →
KingsRoad: First Impressions of this Facebook Action RPG
I've been following Rumble Games as a company for awhile ago (mostly because I was headhunted for various careers with them a number of times in the last year) but didn't know much about KingsRoad, their new action RPG that launched in open beta today. I decided to stop in and try it out, and... Continue Reading →
Frustration in SimCity
The only thing I wanted last night was to spend a relaxing evening plopping buildings down, building schools and commercial buildings and watching little sim people roam around my city creation. But EA was hell-bent on destroying my experience at every turn. It all started at 9:01pm PST, when Sim City was supposed to be... Continue Reading →
An evening in Lord of the Rings Online
In the past, I'm not sure that I've given Lord of the Rings Online a fair shake. After all, I've always found the world to be incredibly beautiful and the classes are intriguing and I do love the fantasy setting. But for some reason, MMOADD kicks in every time I try it and I've never... Continue Reading →
