I’m getting old. There used to be a time when I let things slide. Mediocrity would slip right by me and I wouldn’t even notice. Or maybe I’d wave at it. My point is, I didn’t have standards. What I did was good, regardless of how good it actually was. Looking back, I shouldn’t have… Continue reading Professionals Have Standards

Warcraft RPers: You're Doing It Wrong.
I’ve touched on this briefly in this post and must once again point you fine folks in the direction of Warcraft Sues to give you an idea of what the hell I’m talking about. I’m going to rant a bit, and that means there’ll be some naughty words. Consider the cut below the metaphorical covering… Continue reading Warcraft RPers: You're Doing It Wrong.
Tips for Returning to WoW
Special thanks to Aron, Anthony and Eric for their efforts over the weekend. I hope you enjoyed the guest posts. If you didn’t, well, maybe you’d like to write one for me next time I disappear for an extended period of time. Just sayin’. So the voice of the community, here in the person of… Continue reading Tips for Returning to WoW
The Rise & Fall of Blizzard
Let me tell you a tale, friends. Stay a while, and listen… I tell the tale of a software company that once could do no wrong. They took some time rousing themselves to craft their stories, but when they did, they were epic. I tell the tale of Blizzard. Blizzard, before the dark times Warcraft.… Continue reading The Rise & Fall of Blizzard
Counter-Strike:Source vs. Team Fortress 2
I was given a guest pass for Counter-Strike: Source during the Steam sale. I was curious to check it out. I haven’t played Counter-Strike since my college days, and since then I’ve discovered the likes of Team Fortress 2 and the Left 4 Dead games to get my co-operative shooting action on. With TF2 being… Continue reading Counter-Strike:Source vs. Team Fortress 2
Full Steam Ahead
The Steam sale has pretty much reached its conclusion, and has saved many lives. After all, bees can kill with their stings, eating outside is a good way to attract ravenous bears, and have you ever taken a soccer ball to the face? Damn. That’ll mess you up. Never happens when playing Steam games. My… Continue reading Full Steam Ahead
The Advantages of Steam
Summer is here. To celebrate, Steam is having a mind-blowingly brilliant sale. They’re offering discounts on many of their packages – titles from publishers like Valve, Square Enix, Atari, Rockstar, etc. But it doesn’t stop there. Every 24 hours or so, they slash the prices on a few titles. So while normally a game that… Continue reading The Advantages of Steam
Game Review: Maschine Zeit
Welcome to post #300. THIS! IS! ALCHEMY! *boots Edward Cullen into a bottomless pit* I’ve written previously about a little game called Maschine Zeit. It’s about time I did up an official review of it, in the spirit of promoting it, and if I were to sum it up it one word, it’d be “atmospheric.”… Continue reading Game Review: Maschine Zeit
DPS Delivery Man
So following yesterday’s WoW discussion and my request for advice, Rick Carroll said the following: DPS is easy to find. DPS is everywhere. Good, smart dps is not. Any doofus with a computer and a connection can spam buttons at an enemy – smart dps knows what they are doing, how it works, and when… Continue reading DPS Delivery Man
Starting Over Is Hard To Do
So my wife and I have returned to Azeroth. Kinda. Starting brand new characters on a brand new server is a great idea on paper. But there are a few issues with it that are making things, for my part, somewhat confused. Since this is a blog just as much about gaming as it is… Continue reading Starting Over Is Hard To Do
