This is Chaos!
Actually, that’s a lie. It’s just Anarchy Online, which is pretty orderly and straightforward, contrary to what the name would tell you. As I said earlier, I have been playing this game for around two weeks with Donovan from Donovan … Continue reading →

Thanks for the epidural
There are some very nice people out there on the internet. I’m sure you weren’t aware of that. Thanks to the Newbie Blogger Initiative a whole host of brand new blogs are getting off on the right foot.

Finally, a Proper Trailer for Dawnguard
Now I am properly excited. Like everyone else on the planet, I loved Skyrim. It was a much better game than Morrowind, and a much better setting than Oblivion. Though the king of setting and still my favorite Elder Scrolls game must be Morrowind. And what do we have coming to it? Vampires! Now, I [...]

So, about ::mumblecough:: years ago. But I love playing MMOs as a single player experience. Summed up by Azuriel: But [...]

Why a Ranger?
The Heritage Armor Medium Set Back in the day, in the far far away time, rangers were cool. They were the sleek, pet taming, arrow flinging, trap disarming masters of the wild wood. Think Robin Hood cool.So why the lack of love for the GW2 ranger?…

Question: Deciding Upon Disagreements
Have you ever been dragged into a discussion between two players? You’re being asked for your opinion or to side with someone, but you just can’t really bring it in you to actually care about it. Other than flipping a coin, how would you decide and resolve a disagreement when you just don’t give a [...]

Rules, rulings, and role-playing

Hitman Absolution – Attack of the Saints Trailer
The games industry is no stranger to controversy and certainly does not have a exemplary track record with its depiction of female characters. So when I got wind of the brouhaha (great word) around the latest trailer for Hitman Absolution, I was not exactly surprised. This is a franchise that has in the past flirted [...]

A Few Things I Enjoyed About World of Warcraft
Sometimes, I feel a little too much like a grizzled old timer with a chip on his shoulder about how kids these days have it far too easy. I probably am a grizzled old timer. That hasn’t stopped my love of the MMO genre or my continuing to play it, however. Like most of [...]

Finally, Something Nice to Say About Elder Scrolls Online
