I’ve actually been getting a few things done through the week that I was hoping I would be able to. I’ve started writing out character bio’s for my novel’s main characters and I’ve also been doing a little bit of gaming here and there to boot! In CoH I’ve mainly just been messing around with the character creator – definitely one of the best implementations in MMO-land. I created a cheerleader villain (aren’t they all?) named “Snobbie Bobbie”, complete with the “Pink Pom-Poms of Death/Doom.” And a leopard themed toon as well, which I did … Continue reading
It was a pretty non-descript weekend. I slept in quite late both Saturday and Sunday, so I didn’t get a whole lot done, and it made the weekend seem to go even faster than normal I guess. I did get some quality time in on City of Heroes on Saturday evening, so that was cool. A group of us decided to start all new heroes and go on a badge collecting binge, culminating in Positron’s story arc, which took us appx. 4 hours to complete the whole storyline, and most … Continue reading
The other day I was posting over on TAGN’s blog about how cool a particular mining implant was for mining foremen and fleet mining ops. I hinted that when I’m mining multi-box that I use my foreman in a command ship (currently a Hurricane, working towards a Claymore), my miner is in a Hulk, and that I have a dedicated hauler (currently piloting a Mammoth). Of course this brought all kinds of jeers from the peanut gallery that if you’re going to multi-box mine, you should be flying all Hulks. … Continue reading
This article got me thinking (again) about my ultimate portable device. Which really is just a cross between a netbook, a PSP, a cell phone, and a video camera. What I really want my ultimate portable to be able to do is (in order of importance): Play games really, really well – esp. MMO’s so wireless/cellular internet is a MUST, and TONs of storage would help too – or just mega Flash memory cards (aren’t SDXC supposed to theoretically hold up to 2TB according to EEE docs? – so just let me interchange those … Continue reading
I actually got a few things done this weekend. Of course not as many things as I would have liked, but just the same it was a fun and productive weekend. I was able to finish “The Art of Game Design,” and spent some time getting deeper into “Creating a Life Worth Living.” I also did some work on the book that I’m writing. I think I will probably be spending more time on that project than the game for awhile, since I’m a much better writer than a game … Continue reading
