I’ll definitely be able to snag me one of these bad-boys by the weekend and then I’ll be able to put it through its paces. I missed an awesome buy the other day though, I saw one for sale for less than $400M – I think it was around $390M or so, but of course it sold by the time I got that much ISK rounded up. Tuesday I was able to work my way up to that figure, and I’ve found a few awesome belts this evening, so I … Continue reading

The weekend is almost over and I did get most of my “goals” met. Of course I set the bar pretty low… Get in some gaming, do a few chores, and get out the apt. at least once. And I met all of those! WOOT! As for gaming, I spent most of my time mining in EVE trying to get enough ISK together to buy my Orca. I still haven’t got it all together yet, but I went from a measly 150M to just over 300M, so I almost doubled … Continue reading
With the weekend nearly upon us, I’m planning out my strategy. I’ve got a lot of gaming that I’d like to fool around with AND I also have a lot of chores that I need to get done. Hmmm, I wonder who will win this battle? Fun or Drudgery? Tough call, so I’ll probably try to mix it up a bit and see how it goes. I’m trying to give Champions Online a fair shake to see if it can eventually convince me to subscribe or not, so I’m sure … Continue reading
Cryptic couldn’t do worse than they did on Day 1, so things are much better today than they were yesterday. I’m doing a dl of the client on a different PC today, and the patching process seems to be a bit more robust that yesterday. It’s slow, very slow, but at least it’s not continually dropping, timing out, or just plain not working as was the case yesterday. Hopefully I’ll actually get to spend some quality time “in game” this evening. I’ll keep ya’ posted. [a few hours later] Well I … Continue reading
Just waiting around for my patches to download for the Champions Online “marketing ploy” … I mean “open beta.” It’s having issues, which really is not unexpected, but – they should have allowed folks to pre-patch/download over the past week or so to help alleviate and discover these issues. Oh well, I’ve done what they’ve suggested to “work around” some of the issues, but it’s still acting odd. It seems to consistently hang at ~20-21MB, even after attempting Cryptic’s “work around.” 🙁 Hopefully it will work better this evening when I get … Continue reading
