    Aion part 3 part 1, part 2 I interrupt this normally sane blog with a freakout. You can find my real post after the break. GAH! I am not sure how many more missing quest objects and quest people I can take in a single game. The insane mechanic that only one person can interact…

    Aion Part 2 part 1 Yesterday I made a quick list of some three hour impressions. Well I did go back last night and played for another four or so hours, and had a pretty good time. Thus now with a total of about eight hours of Aion and leveling my cleric up to level…

    Aion Beta I entered today’s Aion Beta with a lot of ignorance. What I mean is I have not been reading lots of Aion forums, studying web sites or researching items, quests, classes, etc. I came into the game relatively naive, which is an odd thing for me.  I met up with my friend…

  • E3 ‘09: Thoughts part 2

    Yes, I know I did not make it back last night; sorry. (Apologizing to myself is a bit odd *shrug*) Anyway after the break I get back to my quick hits about games and game news from E3’09

  • E3 ’09: Thoughts part 1

    Even though I have seen the smoke and mirrors first hand I still fall for it every year. You need to remember that while watching all the E3 coverage E3 is all about generating hype. Yes, sometimes that hype is achieved by showing what is mostly real gameplay, but for most games on display its…
