Yes I know my last two posts were about Dragon Age: Origins, so you should be used to it by now 😛 Anyways, after playing my Mage and my Rogue for quite a bit yesterday on my Veteran’s Day holiday, I decided to roll up another Rogue since I had missed a few things from the early game that you can’t get to once you’ve embarked upon the “main” storyline. And now knowing a few things about the game, I came up with a list of things I wished I … Continue reading
So I’m still having a lot of fun in Dragon Age. I’ve moved back to my first character, an elf mage. I’m really having a tough time diversifying my party make up, however. The Morrigan, Alistair, and Wynne combo is simply “teh win” combo for almost every situation. I think I’d really like to hear the banter with Leliana, Zevran, and Shale though, but I can’t seem to find a viable place for them in my party.

It’s been awhile since I’ve played a really engaging RPG. Dragon Age: Origins tells a great story with the benefit of great graphics and decent game mechanics.

I also like the voice acting and the banter back and forth between my … Continue reading

And the fact that I’ve dropped all of my subscription games for now to take a rest from most of them while I goof around in DDO. November will probably be another slow month, since I’ve signed up for the NaNoWriMo challenge to try and write a 50,000 word draft novel manuscript. So my free time, what … Continue reading
With NaNoWriMo fast approaching, I’ll be spending some marathon time at the computer keyboard, rivaling my gaming sessions of the past. And I started wondering what kind of goodies to have around to keep me going on with my mad typing skillz. Here are some of my (mostly) keyboard safe snacks: Cookies Crackers (with cheese if avail) Those pre-filled veggie trays you can get at the grocery store Beer and/or soda (preferably in bottles – less tendency to get knocked over) Coffee (in sturdy mugs, again less liable to be … Continue reading
