Well I won’t be doing any Valentine’s goofiness, I’m an old school nerdy gamer so I’m not allowed to have that kind of social life 😀 hehe. But I bet I will take a peek in on some of my game titles – esp. since all three of my EVE characters will be finishing up some major training landmarks this weekend. Nab finishes Astrometrics 5 and will move on to Electronics Upgrades 5 so he can join Marko’s Hound in a Covert Ops Cheetah. Marko will finish up Propulsion Jamming 5 and … Continue reading
Just some peeves I’ve noticed around restrooms lately since the employee bathroom at work has been closed for remodelling. <rolls eyes> You wash your hands AFTER doing your business – what is it with these people that walk into the RR, immediately wash their hands, and THEN proceed to the porcelain, and leave without washing their hands again – ARGH!

I’ve sort of been watching from the sidelines the latest row between The Ancient Gaming Noob and Syncaine about World of Warcraft (WoW) and Warhammer; Age of Reckoning (WAR).

I’ve also been feeling a bit cruddy and I took the day off work today so I’ve been catching up on my reading “homework” regarding game design. I’m about halfway through The Art of Game Design, and I’ve also been doing some of the creative exercises … Continue reading
It started snowing last night and it’s been pretty constant all day, but again like most snowstorms we’ve had here in Prescott this Winter there has been little to no accumulation worth mentioning. Very odd for someone like me who has always lived somewhere that if it snows for more then six hours or so, esp. at night, you’re gonna have to shovel come morning… Even in Albuquerque, where snow usually melts the day after the storm, it will at least accumulate during the storm if it’s longer than an … Continue reading
