[There will be SPOILERS, you have been warned.] Warning: This is going to be disjointed as hell because a) I’m writing it over the span of several days in various states of kid-managemen and b) No one is paying me to do this, so what do I care? :) SO. I got my assassin to [...]

Q: People say “wow” out loud for WoW – are they going to say “swatter” for SWtoR? So. Yeah, this happened. I was completely planning on skipping this game because… another Star Wars game, who cares, right? (Don’t answer that!) However, two of my real life friends were excited about playing and I like playing [...]

It occurred to me the other day, or week, or year, that I pretty much just play MMOs for the pet classes. Meaning, I’ve played quite a few. Maybe not as many as hardcore gamers, but certainly more than your average grandmother or Chilean chef. This got me thinking about why this might be. I [...]

OK, I started this on a train, but it turns out that even a train moves too much for me to look at a screen for very long. I’m breaking out in a hot sweat as we speak, headache is blowing up and I’m annoyed. Will finish this tonight, I guess. <—> Alright. Home, wife [...]

I installed this one a month or so ago on a whim. Well, kind of a whim. I mean, there was some intention to it: I was thinking about writing a series of posts about pet classes in various MMOs and realized I hadn’t played Conan yet. Still, it was kinda whim-ish. I mean, I [...]

I first tried Rift near the end of the beta – a friend got me in. That same friend sent me a 7 day trial last week and I figured I’d give it another shot. My initial impression of it was that it was an insanely bland looking fantasy mmo. By “bland” I don’t mean [...]

I mean, I’m in the 3rd act, and I do want to see the ending but YAWWWWNNNNNNNNN. What? Oh, sorry – and that’s about how I feel whenever I think about actually playing through the repetitive battle scenes. Don’t get me wrong, the combat is fun and stuff, but how many times can you fight [...]

Those of you that know me, know that my game of choice tends to be City of Heroes, at least for the last 6-7 (!) years. I’ll take breaks every so often – sometimes up to 4-5 months – and dig into another game or two, but I always seem to come back. There just [...]

I picked up Dragon Age 2 (PC version) on launch day a week or two ago, and have been splitting up my play time between it and City of Heroes. I totally wasn’t expecting it to come out as early as it did – I guess I’m just used to the monolithic development times of [...]

Elemental (PC) by: Stardock It’s Magic of Civilimoo, basically. The tech trees remind me of the way MOO worked but, upon reflection, I suspect Civ works that way as well. The magic and hero stuff is straight out of Master of Magic, as are the summoned units – in a good way. I’m a little [...]
