Seems that quite a few game blogs are making predictions for 2008, so I thought I may as well throw my hat in the ring as well, so here’s how I think things may play out this year. Games that will die in 2008: Vangard Tabula Rasa Pirates of the Burning Sea Games that will do surprisingly well: Lord of the Rings Online EVE Online Some new, as yet unknown title Sure things: WoW will continue its success, however subscriptions will begin to wane later in the year, with a … Continue reading
So I’ve been thinking about this off and on for awhile. Ever since I got my Treo a couple years ago, and started thinking of things that would make it better, like converging it with my PSP… I mean really, if Sony had any smarts, they would’ve had an iPhone two years before Apple – doh!

LotRO seems to be going quite well. Our group is all in their 30’s, although we just got one of our old guildies to sign up this week, so we’ll have some PL’ing to do or maybe we’ll get our alts out or something.
