Oops, did I forget my blog?

Published 2 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

What can I say? Blame my friend who sent me Dragon Age: Origins. Blame work, for asking me to do some overtime. And blame me, for being a self-proclaimed slacker. Am enjoying Dragon Age so far, but I only started it yesterday and am taking it quite slow. It’s also the EU Welcome Back week ...

Phew, Moria defeated

Published 5 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Last night, a little against my expectations we took down The Blind One (for the second time, and on our first attempt, yay) and then went on to kill The Mistress of Pestilence on our third try. Against expectations because I wasn’t sure how many attempts we’d do in an evening, not because I ...

The Cat, Nerfed

Published 6 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Larky, with her new pink nails, courtesy of Soft Claws . It’s a bit of an experiment for us, but so far she’s not been acting any different with them than without! (and yes, it was my cruel decision to go with the pink and not the cool black option).

Mirkwood, briefly

Published 10 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

I’m having to rely on the time I have to read people’s thoughts now the NDA is down, and I’m sure there’s a lot more useful info out there. But, early in the morning, here’s my initial thoughts: Yay, forgot my hunter alt is a whisker from 30. Can try some low-level skirmishes to see what ...

Cynical amusements

Published 15 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Ok, we’re getting a skill upgraded at 62 for the Mirkwood expansion. Be still my beating heart! Instead of worrying about it, I’m going to assume it’ll be a pretty rubbish skill getting some kind of enhancement so discussed with a fellow cynical Captain last night. We decided to put our ...

Lovers of Cute

Published 18 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Because I haven’t posted an animal pic for a long time, here’s one from Nap Tiem , a site I think we should all get behind and support with new pictures whenever we can. Ok, so they request I put it as a link rather than an embedded pic. What can I say – go, look. You won’t be ...

Inappropriate Boss Names
— nerfthecat.wordpress.com — [Inspired by the sign-up thread on my kin forums] Please game companies, do not give bosses silly... names. When we sign up to kill them we want them to sound fierce. Also assume your players will abbreviate to the first name or a description of the ... (more) Inappropriate Boss Names

Charity thoughts

Published 19 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

The MMO Blog Alliance Charity Drive. First I’ve heard of it, despite my sister being involved! but hey, it’s a good idea, so I thought I’d shove up a quick post for anyone that could possibly read this blog and not any of theirs. Anyone? Bueller? Go visit their links and peruse all the ...

Quick raiding update

Published 19 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Last night we downed The Blind One, for the first time, and got The Mistress of Pestilence down about halfway. Found the last mushroom for the deed, by a stylish case of falling. I won’t spoil how or why, but it was kind of funny. The first time we get a boss down there’s a definite sigh of ...

Fun times with Funcom

Published 21 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Ysharros reminded me about The Secret World, an MMO I’m totally fascinated about, I just want to see one in a real world setting. I love the idea of paranoia, secret societies, and three factions. I want to see how a classless system works. And I have faith it’ll be interesting enough to give ...

Apocalypse now: An alternate story

Published 22 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

[Blame Syp and Ysharros for this departure from my normal-type posts. Didn't edit it, didn't really spend much time on it, but we DO call Larky 'pest' which is where the initial joke came from. I'm no writer!] Ok, so this is all a bit embarrassing. I’m pretty new to all of this, got the ...

Finishing up the Feed Reader

Published 23 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

It’s clear! I’ve read it all! And with a cat sleeping on my keyboard so I can’t type without hitting her ear (got to love helpful cats). So here goes, with two stories from a variety of blogs this time – one about WAR and one about LotRO: A lot’s been written about the new WAR free trial , ...

Tackling a Boss Monster

Published 24 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

So, I decided to make a stab at tackling my Feed Reader today, in some of my spare time. I’m greatly enjoying reading everyone’s blog posts, even though I’m hideously behind with things. Haven’t finished it yet, but here’s some of the things that caught my attention: Blizzard to start ...

The Return of the Lazy Cyclist

Published 24 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

In a shameful personal post, I just wanted to comment about today’s bike ride. I’m really good at putting off getting on the bike. I used to bike with my husband almost every day and was at my fittest in years. Then, a knee accident, some new pedals that led to many falls and knocks to my ...

Boggle

Published 25 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

I was reading this story about the UK opening its first games addiction clinic when I came across the following quotation: ”It’s not unusual for people to get so obsessed with online gaming that they forget to eat and drift towards an anorexic and undernourished state…” While ...

The Painful Truth

Published 25 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

In a few days time everyone I know will be playing Dragon Age: Origins. Deservedly so. It’s the most anticipated game of the year for my fellow RPG fans, and everything I’ve heard about it sounds pretty magnificent. Due to some tricky financial restrictions at home, at the moment. I’ve not ...

Guilty feelings

Published 25 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

Is it bad that one of the fights I look forward to most in Siege of Mirkwood is the Dol Guldur stables? I feel like a bad animal lover. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of Shadowfang Keep’s stables. Or maybe it’s simply that it just sounds different from everything we’ve been fighting so ...

The Blind One

Published 26 days ago by arbitrary at Nerf the Cat

He’s a big, bad, monster deep within Dar Narbugud. It’s a tricky, Thrang-style fight. We’ve been at it a few weeks (I think would have been a bit faster with a fixed group, but our kin practices ‘rotations’ so we often have people new to the fight with us). We can now easily get through 1st ...

Random thought…

They say ‘more than a handful is a waste’ in terms of boobage. Think ANY games designers have heard that? ;p
