En Garde!
No, not the play-by-mail game of the 80s and 90s (and if you know what I’m talking about, many props!). Rather, Syp’s thrown down the gauntlet to EQ2 players to give him 5 ways in which EQ2 is better than WoW. Since both games launched at almost the same time 5 years ago, ...

Time flies when you’re having fun
stylishcorpse.wordpress.com — Time is a relative thing, especially in games. Specifically: if I’m enjoying something, it flies, and if... I’m not, it crawls. This is true of most things in life, but it was brought home to me by some of the comments on yesterday’s ... (more) Time flies when you’re having fun
Dragon Age: Fade to Tedious
I think this means my honeymoon with Dragon Age: Origins is over. This post is subtitled: Murder Your Darlings , from the writing principle that if you ever write (or design) something you think is way great!!11oneone then you should probably delete it, stat. Or at least make it much, much ...

Dragon Age: more screenies
In the last couple of weeks I’ve fit a little more Dragon Age into my schedule. Yeah, I should probably have been doing NaNoWriMo stuff, but life’s been stressful enough without it, and my limited spare time has been devoted to having some fun instead. If nothing else, I’ve ...

Hiatus? Hiatus!
(Said in the voice of that #$(*^@ NPC in the Dragon Age party camp — the one who does enchantments. Some NPCs should be permanently muzzled.) I’ve discovered the joys of not having to figure out what I’m going to post on a given day. More to the point, I don’t have ...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
Back from another Albuquerque house hunting trip, and tired. Very, very tired. Also unsuccessful — well, we don’t know for sure yet. Anyone who’s hunted houses will know the buggers can be tricky to catch. I might need a bigger gun. Normal posting service will resume ...

The Secret World — such a tease!
The Secret World — such a tease!
stylishcorpse.wordpress.com — Allow me to preface this with #TSW and #dowant — it’s part of my campaign to get... noticed and get offered a beta spot. Won’t happen, but in the meantime I can annoy a whole lot of people on Twitter with it. DO WANT! And since Syp ... (more) The Secret World — such a tease!
Dragon Age: Origins – the last two
stylishcorpse.wordpress.com — Last weekend I found another few hours to play, and decided to finish off the last two... Dragon Age: Origins — the human noble and the dwarven noble. I started off with Taizu, human noble warrior who — cough cough — doesn’t look ... (more) Dragon Age: Origins – the last two
Sometimes you’re the hammer…
…and sometimes you’re the poor schmuck on the anvil. EA announces a bunch of layoffs. You can read the rest for yourselves. I just didn’t want you to think I was too pissed to pay attention to news. Props to Listens-To-Train-Tracks Jennings , on whose blog I read this ...

Setting the record straight
I feel the need to say this again. It’s my damn blog and I’ll say whatever I please here, whenever I please, and however I damn well please. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with me, but telling me I shouldn’t post what I did is none of anyone’s damned ...

MBACD: It’s good to give
Massive Acronym crits you for 237 damage! Massive Acronym will explain itself shortly. This is not a gaming post. We’re getting on to that time of year where we buy ridiculous amounts of stuff and give friends and family stupid, funny, expensive, and even occasionally useful gifts in ...

Dragon Age bonus items: warning, Will Robinson
This is a pretty specific thing, so it’s difficult to give warning without spoilers, but here goes. If you’re playing a noble dwarf and you’ve got any kind of bonus items (like the Memory Band, those Skill/Attribute tomes, and other stuff), you might want to either use them ...

Reviews: Ur Doin’ It Wrong
Having seen this article over at Sarcastic Gamer, on the need for platform specificity when reviewing a game — in this case, Dragon Age: Origins, since that’s what everyone is talking about this week — and given that the author feels the need to call reviewers moronic, I ...

(DA:O) Two lousy hours
(WARNING: Minor spoilerishness ahead.) Some of you are sick of hearing about Dragon Age: Origins. I’m looking at you, KIASA boys! Well, suck it up. It’s a great game and to make things worse I’ve only had a few hours to play it since I got it; okay okay, not counting the ...

Dragon Age: Origins Toolset available for download
What?! Three posts in one day? I think the world is about to explode. That or I’ve been kidnapped by Syp and replaced with one of his evil automatons. You decide. Anyway, the Dragon Age Toolset is now available for download. Note that you’ll have to have a copy of the game ...

Dragon Age Origins: first PC patch
That only took 3 days! Actually, the pessimist in me was expecting to download a patch the second I’d installed the game. Maybe I play too many MMOs? This news is thanks to elite-newshound Werit and comes from RPGWatch : Dragon Age – v1.01 Patch by Dhruin, 2009-11-06 ...

The Secret World: snippet
The Secret World: snippet
stylishcorpse.wordpress.com — A rather belated snippet (from end-September), and not a particularly optimistic one at that. Then again we... live in interesting economic times. Per VG247 : “Age of Conan dev Funcom is to drop 20 percent of its workforce, according to E24 ... (more) The Secret World: snippet

Dragon Age: second third fourth fifth…
stylishcorpse.wordpress.com — Let’s start off with the traditional gamer apology: Ahhh, I didn’t do NaNoWriMo and I didn’t do... all my chores and I didn’t quite finish all my work because… I was playing Dragon Age: Origins . Point the second: yes, ... (more) Dragon Age: second third fourth fifth…

stylishcorpse.wordpress.com — Where AGE is the operative word and I feel like a 120-year old trying to run a... marathon in under 6 hours. These last few days have been quite busy, to say the least, so when DA:O hadn’t shown up by mid-afternoon yesterday I was a little peeved ... (more) Dragon Age: first look
They grow up so fast…
It’s been ten years this month that Asheron’s Call came out, and not quite ten years that I experienced my first MMO. And while most people might be going “AC? What’s that? It’s not UO, and it’s not EQ… never heard of it!” for me there are ...
