  • Approaching the FFXIV-ARR Beta 3

    I spent a bunch of time over my 4th of July holiday weekend playing the Final Fantasy – A Realm Reborn phase 3 beta.  Wow that is a mouthful.  Though before I make my traditional post of thoughts I felt my experience with this game deserved a bit of background.   I played maybe ten […]

  • SWTOR: My First Three Weeks

    Since retail pre-launch, I’ve put quite a lot of time (imo) into SWTOR. Trooper – 50 hours consular – 60 Hours Smuggler – 32 hours Knight – 26 hours Oh gosh that’s 168 hours or 7 days! And after doing so it was time to transcribe my thoughts from the scraps of notepaper at my desk […]

    Over the last couple of weeks there have been a couple of topics that frazzled me a bit when I heard them discussed. I really try not to respond to podcaster or blogger comments that I disagree with, because I do not feel I can debate well with the written word.  I am much more […]
