Ok, so the fact that I mentioned the mini-game in my last post has generated more traffic on my blog than anything previous, so it seem folks aren’t quite getting the hang of it, or are just searching for more information about how it works. It’s certainly less than well documented, so here goes my attempt to help… First, I bookmarked this page that shows what the icons mean: http://hellgate.incgamers.com/wiki/Mini-game (Edit: the pics and process descriptions are MUCH better today (Nov.5) than they were a few days ago) I tend to keep this … Continue reading

Well I already had an entry called “First Thoughts..” about the demo/beta. So now that I’ve got the game in my hot, not-so-little hands, what do I think? I still think it’s a great game. I’ve been playing both the Single-Player and the Multi-Player games. I do have fun playing with my friends online, but I still find the single-player experience preferable.

As for the problems, the biggest one is a carryover from the Diablo days, and that is a limited and “unintelligent” inventory system. Like Diablo, you can always just port to … Continue reading
What a busy week! It’s Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque, as I said in my last post. And my folks have been visiting, which has been very nice as well. I’ve been playing tour guide most of the week, and we will try to go to another “mass ascension” tomorrow. Hopefully I will get some pics up sometime this weekend. I’ve already taken well over 100 photos just from yesterday’s “Special Shapes Rodeo/Ascension.” In gaming, we’re (my guild-mates and I) still playing Dark Age of Camelot, but we’ve switched over … Continue reading
