  • New game addiction

    While I am still completely hooked on WoW, I do believe I have broken my addiction to “new games.” See back before my daughter was conceived we had “extra” money. We were able to pay our bills, get rid of debt, and generally buy what we needed or wanted (within reason). So when ever a […]

  • ES soon to be no more.

    The news came down a few weeks ago, but I have not been in a mood to write about it until now. On September 9th 2008, the staff of Ensemble Studios was notified by Microsoft that at the end of the Halo Wars project they would be shutting the studio down. *boggle* I was expecting […]

  • the Wanted Watchmen are Walking Dead

    While not specifically novels, I count graphic novels as part of my reading list, and this week I read two popular ones; Watchmen and Wanted. While both were entertaining, Watchmen is by far the better of the two; it is a modern classic (tragic)in superhero novels. Wanted on the other hand is a violent, graphic, […]

  • The wind’s name

    I recently enjoyed reading The Name of the Wind, By Patrick Rothfuss. In some ways its a fairly standard fantasy novel, well really the first chapter in a larger tale, but in other ways it turns standard fantasy cliches on their head; starting with its changing perspective.

  • The addiction continues

    While my wife’s interest in wow faded, mine continues to stay strong. So much so that this week’s “Age of Conan” release, does not tempt me; much. When I returned to WoW, I did so back with my horde characters, and a couple of weeks ago leveled my priest to 70. I played her with […]

  • The WoW Takeover

    We are still playing WoW. My wife for a couple of hours every other night or so, while I am on at least for bit every night. It has basically taken over my free time; again. I would like to watch a movie, TV, or read a book but then I sit down at the […]
