  • Dragon Age and Modern Warfare

    Over the last 10 days I have played a lot of Dragon Age, and enjoyed every minute. It is a fantastic game, full of so many things I like. I am sure I will write up all of my thoughts and comments after I finish this first play through.  All I wanted to say…

  • Dragon Age: Origins Day 1

    Yesterday Dragon Age: Origins was released and since I had it pre-loaded from Steam, I was ready to play when it unlocked.  Well I say ready to play , but what I really mean is I was ready to go OCD on acquiring my pre-order / collectors edition DLC. I was working when it…

  • Sunday Drive

    I took a quick inventory of my entertainment activities in the last month and was a actually a bit surprised at what I have done. First, I played a month of retail Champions Online, I had fun but as I neared level 30 the game started to feel a bit stale. The worst part is…

  • My World of Warcraft Scrapbook: Chapter 1

    With all the Cataclysm expansion talk I started thinking back to some of my favorite WoW moments. It was then that I realized that I really should document them in some fashion; thus my World of Warcraft scrapbook was born. For my first entry, some thoughts on how my WoW time started.

  • Cryptic sold out.

    I was not actually considering a lifetime subscription to champions, but the six month offer was tempting. Apparently Cryptic made the decision for me, since they forgot to tell anyone until last night that there was only a limited supply of the special offers. Asking people to commit to something before being able to take…
