  • I Approve Shattering Azeroth

    As I do with most MMO discussions, I have strong opinions about the changed the Shattering of Azeroth wrought on quests. There have been several blog posts and twitter discussion about it and as usual I have not engaged in them.  I don’t engage, because I can’t seem to be succinct or quick enough to […]

  • Thought Collection: Blizzcon 2010

    No I am not part of some secret plot to steal other people’s thoughts.  I am in fact collecting several of my own thoughts on various topics and storing them away, for future reference. Expectations and Announcements I am sick of hearing about how dull this year’s con was simply because Blizzard did not use […]

  • A Long Weekend

    Over this long weekend I had some extra gaming time, which then led to me commenting out loud (to no one) about the games I was playing as well as games I was reading about.  Talking to myself is bad enough, but not recording the conversation so I can listen to myself at a later […]

  • Cataclysmic Raids

    Wowhead posted some new information about the upcoming expansion, Cataclysm.  While I’m disappointed in the “Path of the Titans” loss, and not completely sold on their take on “Guild Leveling”, I was very happy to find this little nugget: Raid Lockouts Here’s another big change—they’ve added a great deal of flexibility to raid lockouts. Rather […]

  • Frantic Friday

    While I was thinking about a quick post about things I was playing, watching, listening to, all the talk about Lord of the Rings Online going F2P helped tipped my hand.   Thus here I am actually sitting down to type out words on the blog. LOTRO F2P I have not even started to read everything […]
