  • Friday Freakout

    The Sims 3 While I did enjoy playing around with my little sims in both previous games, I have never been an avid Sims player. I did not buy any of the 15+ expansions that were released for the previous games, and I doubt I will be buy any for this third installment. But that […]

    Feeling Powerful Last night I decided to give one of my wow alts some attention. I had a level 5 Blood Elf Rogue sitting at Falconwing Square and I decided to load her up with bags, the Heirloom shoulders and Heirloom daggers (enchanted of course).  Over the course of the evening I played her […]

  • Questions about my gaming history

  • Movie Watch

    Star Trek = Good. No, it was really good. So good I am trying to encourage everyone to go see it. Support this movie, because I want more of this Star Trekk and I want it soon. It was so entertaining in fact that it made me do a quick review of movies I have […]

  • Thurday Thoughts

    I am in a game funk; well I guess its more like an MMO funk. The other night I was starring at my computer’s desktop, trying to decide which icon to click and none of the MMO icons appealed to me. My thought process was something like: WoW? Nope. Other than raid night, I only […]
