DC Universe Online! Stargate Worlds goes bye, bye and Aion luuuurv!

Share Oh boy, I started this post nearly two hours ago, had writer’s block, started up Star Trek Online, now 2,000 sto energy credits, and several burning Klingon Bird of Prey carcasses later, I’m back. I feel all fired up! *slips Karate Kid II into the PS3*… what? I like part II! Before we leave [...]

Fallout: New Vegas plot details, Warcraft plushies, Rise of the Godslayer

Share Hot diggity dawg, now that was a good episode of Legend of the Seeker. I won’t spoil it for you if you haven’t seen it yet, but it was a Cara episode, and Cara episodes are always good, right? I’m taking a days break from gaming, so I just popped in House of Flying [...]

Civilization V, StarCraft II beta system requirements, and World of LordCraft.

Share So I’m sitting here and Jurassic Park is on TV, it’s the first time I’ve seen it in… about ten years. 1 – I completely forgot Newman was in this. 2 – I completely forgot how awesome the first hour or so is, the sense of discovery, Jeff Goldblum bizarre line deliver, Sam Neil being Sam [...]

STO ship interiors, Rise of the Godslayer, and power sliding horse.

Share Valentines Day has come and gone once again, and if you’re lucky you got some flowers and a box of chocolates. If you’re a gamer though, you probably asked for a copy of Star Trek Online, and really, who could blame you? As for me, I’ve been on a self imposed break from STO [...]

STO Trekkin’, and World of Modern Warfare…craft

Share Ugh! My STO energy credits situation is still pretty dire. I still can’t afford a new ship, not even close actually. I’m thinking maybe I ought to just bite the bullet and spend a day or two grinding over at Starbase 24, score some loot and then sell it off at Earth Starbase. Like [...]

Tons of Fallout: New Vegas, Aion Community, and World of Single-Player-Craft?

Share You know, there are few things worse than a morning coffee and no bagel and or donut to go along with it, but as I forgot to pick some up at the store over the weekend, I’m doomed to the awkward combination of coffee and… pineapple? Ah fruit, nature’s lame attempt at candy! Speaking [...]

Death of the Lich King, Fallout New Vegas Teaser, More Star Trek Online

Share Okay, I have thus far managed to accrue a measly 8,000 energy credits in Star Trek Online, I’m also only just on Lt. Rank 7 after a solid week of playing. Why am I so darn slow at levelling and getting currency in MMO’s? I’m eyeing a ship upgrade, but at 150,000 energy credits, [...]

Star Trek Online launches, Warcraft posters, and Age of Conan

Share In one of those supremely rare acts of beautiful universal confluence, today, February 2nd, the launch date for Star Trek Online, is also my birthday. This means of course, that I have had no qualms in getting myself a Collectors Edition box from Amazon (with the liberated Borg Bridge Officer) and a Digital Deluxe [...]

Confessions of an RPG gamer

Share And now it’s time for something completely different. I thought we’d take a break from the usual news heavy blog format for a change of pace, something that I hope is more of a discussion piece than the norm, which usually involves me ranting for twenty minutes. I still rant, just… not as much. [...]

Star Trek Online beta impressions, Fallout MMO, and a WoW Magazine

Share Do you, Gamer, take  this game, Star Trek Online, to be your lawfully wedded MMO, to quest and to loot, to raid and to craft, in beta and at launch, never forsaking, for as long as you both shall game? Ah the lifetime subscription. It signifies the holy bond between gamer and publisher. I [...]
