  • Free Ride

    I have been doing a bit of research checking out some of the free to play games out there. When I do I will try to jot down some thoughts and post them here in the Free Ride sections of my mind. Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Perfect World International. Thus far I only have […]

  • Different Raid Group, Different Tactics.

    I am amazed at how differently one raid group will tackle a boss compared to another. I usually try to run with people I have raided with before, and most of the time with raid leaders I have run with before. This leads to me getting very used to doing things a particular way, but […]

  • Operation Contacts 04

    This is part 4 of my ongoing “Operation Contacts” campaign. A campaign in which I am attempting to gather some contact info for real people at places I have either already sent resumes to, or places I am interested in working at. Today’s target: NCSoft West I have been impressed with many of the products […]

    For the last two weeks I have only logged into World of Warcraft to raid and the sad part is I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything. Well that is not entirely true; I do miss out on some socializing. Though when I think about the game play and ways to advance […]

As games get larger and more complex, there […]

  • Operation Contacts 03

Today’s target is Southpeak Games. They have a “senior” and “experienced” tester positions posted on their website either of […]

  • Wednesday Wobble

    Today in Middle earth I started yet another character, a minstrel named Bogindoc. That puts me at four created characters thus far on this venture into Lotro; a champion, huntress, rune keeper, and minstrel. I am impressed that even at the low levels they all play very differently, and that’s refreshing when I am swapping […]

  • Operation Contacts 02

    Today is “Operation Contacts” part 2. My campaign to try and gather some addresses of real people I can contact at places I am interested in talking to about job, or I have already sent resumes to. Petroglyph I took a look at their site when I got a tip they were looking to fill […]
