Actually I’ve just been slacking on blog posts a little bit ‘cuz I’ve been so busy doing other stuff. Over the weekend I did a lot of Warhammer gaming, again I’ve been concentrating on the Order side of the house and getting somewhat frustrated at the huge Destro over-population on that server (I think Badlands, but I can’t remember for sure, that might be where I play destro, lol!). Anyways, RvR there is just an exercise in frustration, I think due in large part to two (very large) guilds that … Continue reading
What constitutes a game’s failure as measured by the computer gaming industry? How about as defined by their target audience, the players? I ask this because I found it quite amusing (if not a bit naive) that a gamer commenting on a Forbes column (special thanks to Syncaine over at Hardcore Casual for turning me onto this) used a couple of games as examples of failure which are quite successful in my book. And I’d bet they’re viewed as successful by the industry as well: Guild Wars and Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. I … Continue reading
Ok, so last year about this time I signed up for both Facebook and MySpace. Oh, and I just remembered I think I’m on LinkedIn as well, but I’m not sure… Other than putting up whatever basic info they query you about when you’re first setting up your space, I don’t think I’ve ever really gone back. I just don’t see the point. I guess I’m either too old, too individualistic (read: I could really care less what other people think/do – esp. what they’re doing “right now”), or too … Continue reading
So I spent pretty much all of my gametime this weekend in Warhammer. So far, I really like it a lot. It’s got a lot going for it, and I definitely find it more fun now than any of the other MMO’s out there. I was also somewhat amazed (again) at how cool the design is in keeping Destruction and Order on the same maps, yet segregated for realm related questing. You don’t get a lot of toadies from the other realm distracting/messing with you while you’re out doing hum-drum questing … Continue reading
Work is just over the top busy lately so I haven’t had a lot of time for gaming nor blogging. I did get the latest update to EVE online the other day, and was able to login to keep my training plan up-to-date on my latest endeavor: covert-ops. Naberius now has the skills to fly a “Buzzard,” but he still needs to up his training in Cov-Ops so he can use and fit a cov-ops cloaking device. Once I get that done, he’ll move back to training up even more probe skills while … Continue reading
