Your issues may be more than the game’s fault…
I started dinking around with computers in 1986 (almost 9 years after I got into table top gaming) and ever since then I have had a passion for computers that is borderline obsessive…okay, not quite that bad, but close. I am always looking for the next great toy to add, or the next best look [...]
Fluff or Grunge? Beauty or Beasty?
So after 30+ years of gaming, it finally hits me.. the type of game I enjoy… Grungy with good dash of Beasty’ness. I realized while romping around in LoTRO last night that one of the major reasons I am disappointed, is the graphics. There is far too much fluff. The game is gorgeous. That is [...]
Why do we seek a WoW killer?
Tonight, as I was playing LoTRO, then again while at the movies, I had an epiphany. The reason we seek is time. And that same time is the driving force behind 99% of the migraines that developers get while trying to make us a miracle game. If you think about it, time is the driving [...]
Cash for Coolness
SW:TOR RMT is on its way. RMT’s a big subject for most folks these days. Personally, I work for a living, so paying $14.95 (x4) is just what I do since that’s my hobby. I don’t drink much, I gave up smoking in 2005, drugs are for people who have no better way to enjoy [...]

I was listening to one of my regular podcasts, and since I have about 35 a week that I go through it is odd that something struck me as a “What the hell are you thinking?” moment. I don’t regularly visit blogs. College and work take up far too much time for me to read [...]
Ass-hattery: Is it localized or industry wide?
Today was another day like most. I was over in an area of Northrend, killing some quest mobs, pretty much doing the usual. So I take down a Lasher, loot it and the instant my character stands back up, some ass-hat runs over, harvests it, and runs off. No asking, no waiting to see if [...]
It’s all about the racers… or is it?
OK, so 30+ years of loving gaming. Well, what have I seen? And, no, I don’t mean that as a “my e-nis is longer than yours” type comment. What I can tell you as a PVPer, lore whore, artist, writer, blogger (no those are by no means the same), I can tell you that I [...]
