Another Weekend in WAR

I actually spent all of my gaming time this past President’s Day in Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. And I must say that it’s been a mostly positive experience for the most part.  Although, I am starting to notice some of the things that drove me away last time.  They’re not huge flaws, but flaws that are still there after all this time. One thing I will say though, is that most, if not all of the flaws from Tier 1 Empire are gone.  That experience is “silky smooth.”  Due in … Continue reading

Another Week in Warhammer Online

I spent almost all of my gaming time last weekend in Warhammer Online – and it was great fun!  Unfortunately due to server mergers I wasn’t able to move my higher level characters over to an existing server – due to the fact that I already had characters there, so I’m not too sure what to do there.  I think there might be an option to move them to a different destination that the one they picked, but I’m not sure.  So for the remainder of the week, I’ve been spending my … Continue reading

Gaming Lull

I’ve kind of been in an inactive gaming state for the last few weeks.  I’m not sure how or why that happened, but I have been very busy at work and arriving home so exhausted I just want to go to bed.  So that’s part of it.  And I haven’t even been cruising the web that much, it just seems I’m not having as much fun sitting in front of the computer when I get home as I used to.  The gaming icons try to look as inviting on the … Continue reading

Key Web (re)Design Objectives

I’ve been working in the web development/coding sector for about seven years or so and I’ve noticed a few recurrent issues that  crop up when creating or redesigning a website: Ease of Use.  Including navigation and readability.  ADA tags/formatting and other helpful tags.  Including the ability to adjust the font size as well. Adherence to information mapping guidelines and “the crow memory” rule I learned way back in high school psychology (basically that people tend to get flustered/confused if more than 7-10 items are presented to them at one time).  Consistency of Presentation. … Continue reading
