From a quick cruise around some of my favorite gaming blogs, it looks like a lot of folks are shuffling around their MMO game regime trying to find something to tide them over unitl Warhammer comes out. Just recently I cancelled my LOTRO and AoC accounts and re-subscribed to CoX and DAoC. I’ll probably dump my EVE account as well, for now. I’m pretty sure I won’t be going back into AoC, but I may check back with LoTRO someday, and for some reason I always go back to EVE eventually. I’m … Continue reading

So I’ve been gaming with some new buds over in City of Heroes/Villains, but they prefer Skype as their Voice SW of choice… So I dl’d the latest version and got it up and running… sort of… They could hear me fine, but no sound was coming out of my side. (Yes I set the in/out options correctly to be the headset – at least Skype saw that there was a headset, and had the correct ID).

Well I didn’t do anything particularly 4th’ish this year. Mainly due to the fact that it was raining most of the day and evening here, so instead I played City of Villains and did some flying around in FSX.

We were owning things 5-10 levels above us with no problems at all. The trick is in the … Continue reading
I spent the weekend mainly flying around in FSX or in CoV. In FSX I’ve been flying over the San Rafael Reef/Swell and Waterpocket Fold to get the tileproxy scenery loaded in preparation for making another FSX Movie with some more canyonlands barnstorming – definitely my style of flight. I would really like to download or learn how to re-skin some of those airplanes though. Yet another project to look into… In City of Villains, I got my MasterMind up to level 23 I believe, so I will get my … Continue reading
Well I didn’t get a whole lot done this weekend. I did some running around in City of Villains and in Conan. I’m enjoying CoV more though, so I spent more time there. Probably the biggest turn off I had on Conan this weekend is that I’m supposedly on a “care-bear” PvE server, but as soon as I ventured forth from Tortage I was summarily ganked by a Necro 12+levels higher than myself for no apparent reason other than I was running the opposite direction as he was. I think … Continue reading
