  • Seven Bruises of STO Beta

    This past weekend I gave a few more hours of time to playing the Star Trek Online open beta.  While I have enjoyed some parts of the game, there is an uncanny valley between the game Cryptic is offering and the Trek game I would love. Anyhow, there are a few things I encountered  over…

  • Gaming SitRep

    The Situation Returning to limited play time that comes with work was a bit jarring.   Over the holidays I could slip off almost anytime and sneak some play time in, while being at work for 10-12 hours a day limits that dramatically.  I have settled back into a good routine and am wonderfully grateful for…

  • EQ2 “ugly” and “good”

    After three weeks of playing I have found several items that have struck me as much better than my previous impressions led me to believe. Though before I start that list I wanted to re-iterate the three items I feel EQ2 is most ‘hurt’ by.  These items are subjective, of course but I wanted to…

Then I realized something; I can not casually play World of Warcraft, at least not on…

  • Gaming life and burnout

    World of Warcraft Burnout. My gaming life has been shaken up a bit lately. Fist I was starting to feel some serious WoW burnout right when Champions Online arrived.  Then I started a new job, and my gaming time went from anytime (for as long as I wanted), to only a few hours when…

  • Alyxa “Patience” Marks, Champion

    I have little back stories for almost all of my MMO characters rattling around in my head. This time I thought I would take a quick bit of time and record a rough idea I have for my first Champions Online (retail) character. Captain Alyxa Marks, code named Patience for named for he ability to…
