The Perfect Gadget

So I’ve been thinking about this off and on for awhile.  Ever since I got my Treo a couple years ago, and started thinking of things that would make it better, like converging it with my PSP… I mean really, if Sony had any smarts, they would’ve had an iPhone two years before Apple – doh!  Anyways, a CES article over at CNN got me thinking about it again today, and here’s what I’d like to see. Basically a hand-held PC that has all of this functionality:  It would look like a console game controller with a … Continue reading

LotRO Update

I finally got my horse in Lord of the Rings Online.  Your eligible to purchase your horse at level 35, but I wasn’t able to afford the 4.2 gold until I’d reached 36, and that’s even after having all of my alt’s send whatever coin they had to my main.  The horse has made travel so much better, and I no longer find it a chore to play my main.  I had really been burning out on him and had created a bunch of alts that were more fun to play … Continue reading

Year In Review

I guess a blog wouldn’t be complete this time of year without some kind of “in review” post, so here goes.

On the blog itself, the best day ever was back on November 8 with 261 hits, 244 of those on my post about the Hellgate Mini-Game – which is still, BY FAR, my most hit post every day.  Since then the stats have inevitably been … Continue reading

LOTRO Progress

LotRO seems to be going quite well.  Our group is all in their 30’s, although we just got one of our old guildies to sign up this week, so we’ll have some PL’ing to do or maybe we’ll get our alts out or something. But all-in-all it’s been going well.  The lack of coin seems to be going away, however there will definitely be a “BIG-HIT” to the pocket-book when we buy our horses.  I hear they’re over 4 gold, and I’ve just barely got 2 gold – and I’m … Continue reading

Music N Stuff

Well I’m back from my Xmas travels and I gave a lot of music this year which got me to thinking about music in LotRO; and why some of the “old” classics haven’t been ported over.  Most are very simple, catchy tunes that should port very well over to the ABC music format that LotRO uses.  Some that I’d really like to see would be some of the classic Herb Alpert tunes (Taste of Honey, Lonely Bull, Spanish Flea, etc.) A couple of his tunes were used for TV game … Continue reading
