This week I started playing a new computer game: Mount & Blade: Warband. It’s a cross between RPG and FPS (with swords and bows instead of pistols and machine guns). So far I really like it a lot, but I’ve found very little online as far as guides or even just down to earth practical advice. So I’ll share what I know so far – what you need to know as a newb to this game. I’m not going to go over factions and skills, as that part of the game is … Continue reading

With money being tighter than normal, I’ve pretty much dropped (or soon will be dropping) all of my paid subscription games.

Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man … Continue reading
But it’s just been very odd while I’m in this “limbo state” between jobs and permanent living arrangements. Plus the PC is in an upstairs, non air conditioned room, and with our near 100F temps, it’s just not very comfortable to sit and type for any length of time under those conditions. Anyways, here’s some updates. I do get into Warhammer, usually each evening for a couple hours at least, and I’m still having fun there, but I’m really starting to get a craving for EVE, but I’ve promised myself not to … Continue reading
