II admit it: I wasn’t excited to get Starcraft 2. Yes, I pre-ordered it because… I mean, it *is* Starcraft 2. 11 years in the making. 11 years? Wow. I mean, I remember playing networked SC in college, was college that long ago? *checks* Well, shit, I guess it was. But, I was feeling pre-underwhelmed. [...]

Go me. I set out to hit 200/180 or better – and I did, so there’s some geek pride for you. Usually, whenever I get up 18-20, the matchmaker starts putting me with teams that are obviously worse than me (which is saying a lot), or a bunch of leavers – it wants you to [...]

I think it’s interesting that MMOs have their roots in RPGs – perhaps the most solitary form of video game there is (not counting some of those Japanese dating sims….). Sure, I used to watch a friend play the SNES Final Fantasy games for hours (I don’t think I ever had an SNES), and that [...]

OK, so like three months later (than everyone else), I finally finished Mass Effect 2. It took me something like 32 hours of play time, and I played through a (matronly) female infiltrator. Man, the female faces are FUG. Urk. They need more women working on this – or was the point to have everyone [...]

and it’s not even flash-crap tastic! It does use Adobe Air for the basic client interface, which I’ve found to run poorly on my monster of a laptop – especially when a web browser is open (and visible – this is critical apparently) at the same time – but this is really minor. If you [...]

…since I’ve been in the beta for a few weeks (I got in on via one of the random website sign-up competitions thing, I think around the 5th) and beta is winding down today – it may already be over. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take any badass action screenshots to show off , so [...]

So glad they spelled motherfucking R O G U E correctly ;). New site is barely up here. Not much info yet, but it looks like it will include access to opposing side content, and at least 2 new powersets (dual pistols & demon summoning (?)). I’m really curious how much of this second world [...]

and somehow I just can’t get excited about it – maybe the fact that I can’t really play it at all right now – yes (! I’ll post a review eventually!) my laptop will run it quite well, but the time & required free hands are rarely available for any period longer than a few [...]

because with the rumors of a 1.13 patch, hey, I’m curious. It’s interesting, it’s aged pretty well. Even at 800×600 it still looks good, and it’s still seems pretty fun. Of course the spammers are OUT OF FUCKING CONTROL. Every 3 or 4 minutes a spammer joined my game to spam some bullshit website. That [...]

So my hunter finally hit 80: Monsoon the gorilla is showing off again. That or his hemorrhoids are flaring up. Not that this is any great achievement – they’ve made it really easy to get to 80, you don’t even have to farm/grind. Just play the game (ie quest), and you’ll get there more sooner [...]
