My character getting the kill shot on the Archdemon. Not a spoiler — no matter what you do, it’s gonna be you vs the Archdemon at some point, and you will kill it. Well, not 100% sure if it’s going to be you that does it all the time.
That’s the take-away lesson ...

I have about 27 hours into Bioware’s Dragon Age: Origins, and have explored about a third of the world. Having enlisted the aid of Arl Eoman, the Circle of Magi and the Dalish Elves to my cause, I am now exploring the depths of Ozrammar, hoping the dwarfs will honor their ancient treaty. ...

Since we started flying Wednesday Ops Nights with Holowan Industrials, the phrase “usually, it goes better than this” has become as legendary as “I have a bad feeling about this” and “at least it’s not raining”.

EQ2’s “Nights of the Dead” Halloween event ended
last night. I’ve been meaning for weeks, ever since
I fixed my second computer, to get back into the game now that I could two-box again. I really wanted to try the new hedge ...

It’s probably too early to be calling Warhammer’s
time of death, even though Electronic Arts has reportedly
laid off 40% of the Mythic staff , including 90% of the development talent. Mythic is responsible for Ultima Online, Dark Age of ...

World of Warcraft did NOT kill the MMO market
I’d promised myself I wasn’t going to play Dragon Age: Origins until I’d finished Torchlight all the way through. Not that this was a huge burden, but I do hate leaving good games unplayed just because another game found its way into my computer.
I knew I was getting to ...

In 1958, noted science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon
wrote that 90% of science fiction was crud ,
which was generalized and explained that 90% of EVERYTHING is crud . I loved doing the Daily Blogroll, but the loss of a couple hours out of each ...

Free Realms and Sturgeon’s Law
Reader Kinolyen pointed out, correctly, that running Minmatar missions wouldn’t do much to improve my standings with Amarr and Caldari, who hate me. Since my standings for both are below -2.0, I can’t get ANY missions for either faction, and both are just on the verge of sending ...

As much as I like picking up Caldari and Amarr dogtags from my kills and selling them for lots of ISK to pilots who pretend loyalty to those violent races, it’s getting to the point where I can hardly warp into Amarr or Caldari space without warnings to move off or be shot down. Since I ...

EVE Online
The weekend wasn’t ALL EVE Online, though it could have been. That game is just SO addictive, though, that I have to consciously NOT log in, find something else to do.
Thankfully, I had Torchlight backing me up.
My Torchlight Vanquisher is about 4/5 of the way through the main ...

When I created my alt EVE character, Etha Preve, as part of CCP’s “Power of 2″ promotion (have a second account for cheap for six months), I didn’t have any specific plans for her. But I’d always wanted a good hauler to help with the mining and just moving stuff ...

The mega-EVE alliance Curatores Veritatis Alliance (CVA), one of the alliances that keep the nullsec Providence region mostly safe and pirate free, was dissolved today. CVA leaders are calling it an account hacking and have vowed to either get CCP to roll the hack back or to form a new ...

Tactical, party-based RPGs in a browser? For free? Yeah, it exists. For all that it is a tie-in to Bioware’s forthcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins, EA 2D’s Dragon Age Journeys is not only an introduction to the lore and characters of that game, but an excellent RPG in its own ...

I loved the IDEA of a modern, casual
update to the classic Infocom adventure game, Zork. The
devious puzzles, the humor, the sense that something wondrous (or at least hilarious) was right around the corner, but mostly the puzzles. We’d get ...
