SWTOR Thoughts

January 3, 2012

Firstly, Happy New Year! I hope you had a good holiday season. I have been playing SWTOR, after something of a struggle to get my videocard drivers to stay installed correctly. Warcraft is also installed, but it feels like I’m still a tad burned out with that game. The next target to download is Rift, and then LOTRO to complete my MMO stable.

Brief Blizzcon Observations

October 22, 2011

There is so much going on here, I have met way too many awesome people, and am sad to realise I will never get to spend enough time with all of them. I have a ton of photos of cosplayers, bloggers, and story-related panels, but I know next to nothing about the big mechanics changes. I’m really enthusastic about the MoP expansion, which has been an utter surprise to me. Also american keyboards are weird, so please excuse the odd typing. As I don’t have much time before I need to rejoin my friends in the convention centre, I...
