My look back at 2009
I thought a lot this week about my 2009 games of the year, as I saw gaming sites all over the internet posting their lists in various different formats. I was going to skip the whole thing, because I did not want to be a “me too” poster. Then I took a pause today and…

Back into the Everquest 2 Breach
Yes it is true I am playing Everquest 2 once more. It all started a couple of weeks ago my wife and I chatted once again about playing an MMO together. I thought for a bit about trying Everquest 2 with her, and when I looked at my account status I discovered Sony had reactivated…

Dragon Age: Origins Day 1

Musing about computer upgrades.
I was sitting around the other day thinking about upgrading to windows 7.  At home I have two computers I use daily, both have XP on them and my gaming machine also has Vista (via dual boot), all of them 32 bit versions.  If I take the plunge to Win7 I want to…
