Juxtaposed Life

  • Some solo thoughts. No wait, they are group thoughts.

    The other day because of twitter, I found myself thinking about the whole solo vs. group content found in MMOs. In particular how much content of each type is enough. My mind spins when I try to discuss the topic with people, because everyone is different. We all have our own backgrounds, predispositions, likes, dislikes,…

  • Ulduar Progress

    I am very happy to report my Ulduar group had several new successes this week. The first was a success of speed.  Flame Leviathan, Razorscale, ignis, XT, Council of Iron, Kologarn, Auriaya, Hodir, Thorim, and Freya were all defeated in a single ~ four hour session. That is a new record for our group…

  • Zombiefest

    Tonight a few of my guildmates and I decided to take a few minutes and get the Zombiefest achievement. I had no idea it would lead to such a marvelous parade of undead. Screenshots after the jump.

  • My MMO History

    My MMO History: A Working Draft I saw several other bloggers posting their MMO histories and I decided for the sake of my own history, I should build upon my previous list and make it an ongoing project. The first step was to take my list and put it in basic chronological order along with…

  • Away from keyboard

    This week our family took a short trip out of town to visit family members out in Arkansas. While I did have internet access back at the hotel, my time browsing was limited and I did not have access to games; including WoW. Upon returning home, I was actually a bit surprised that I was…
