Friday, August 31st, 2007I’m beyond exhausted right now. This last week has kicked my ass more than I would have thought possible. I had PAX all weekend, and since then I’ve had my usual schedule to contend with (a regular forty hour per week job doing computer tech support and also my news duties at Ten Ton Hammer)Â […]
The Eternal Journey - Where’s My Homecoming?
Thursday, August 30th, 2007While I was doing an interview with one of the Warhammer developers at PAX this weekend, something she said really struck a chord with me. I had asked if there were any plans to create cool things for players to come back and find in old zones at higher levels, and she said, “Not really… […]
Pretty Little Mistakes
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007I’m halfway through a ridiculously exciting EVE Online article that will be dropping tomorrow on TTH, but I wanted to take a break from all the frenzied writing and talk a bit about this really interesting book I found this weekend. I had taken Stardust with me for the plane ride (I liked the movie […]
Whew… Finished at PAX
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007I’m finally back from Seattle and it’s good to be home. PAX was a lot of fun, but I worked pretty much nonstop. With multiple interviews and panels every day, by the time each day was over I was exhausted. I have something like 10-12 articles I still need to write that are scattered across […]
Have I Mentioned That I Hate Comcast?
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007When I see stuff like this, it makes me angry. Very angry. Throttling torrent speeds? I honestly hardly ever illegally download content of any kind, so when I do torrent something (like a Blizzard patch) I have a legitimate reason for it.
I’m a Comcast customer by necessity, not by choice. I send them roughly $160 […]
Arena Combat, Cards, and PAX, oh my!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007It occurs to me that I’ve been shirking my MMOG discussion duties lately (and getting a lot of flak when I try to review FPS games ::wink::), which is the (alleged) purpose of my blog, so I decided it was time for a rambly MMO-related post… amongst other topics.
As I may have mentioned previously, I’m […]
Bioshock: Shockingly Disappointing
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007I admit, I’ve been caught up in the Bioshock hype these last few weeks. Me and everyone else. As Darren mentioned already, the reviews have been rolling in and they’re giving it downright stellar ratings. When the demo for the XBox 360 version came out and everyone was talking about how awesome it was, I […]
TTH Article: Women and Raiding
Monday, August 20th, 2007I’m still pretty much down and out as far as blogging goes (though you might get a post soon about something I’ve been kicking around all weekend), but when this found its way across my desk I thought I should point you all towards it since gender issues in gaming are somewhat of a pet […]
Blurry Adventures
Saturday, August 18th, 2007Don’t expect too many posts from me over the next few days. I’m writing this one through the blurry haze of newly LASIK’d eyes. The operation was yesterday and was kind of scary, but it went well. Those sly doctors don’t warn you about the few hours of pain and burning following the operation until […]
Dear Dr. Phil
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007After reading the recent Game Politics post about Dr. Phil’s upcoming videogame show (and the follow-up), I got pretty annoyed. The only reason I took special notice is because my mom watches and loves his show, as do many people across the country. I would suspect that the people most likely to watch the show […]
