I haven't written much lately, as there just isn't much "happening." I'm playing Warhammer Online, but there's really nothing "exciting" to write about. I play, it's fun, and things are good. Heh.
I'll be doing my future gaming-related posts over @… more »

Playing Warhammer Online again for the past week or two has made me realize there's a lot that a lot of players just don't "get" about "PvP" in some of the newer MMOs. I'll talk mainly about WAR, since that's what I've been playing - but I remember thes… more »

As a follow-up to a previous post, the matter of my LOTRO account is closed; Turbine will not budge, and I'm ... well ... done. Without my hard-earned characters, and somewhat more importantly, my names that I've used for the past 13 years, I just can't… more »

It was (I believe) Stargrace of Nomadic Gamer (NomadicGamer.com) that coined the term "Nomadic Gamer" - meaning someone that moves from game to game fairly frequently.
That pretty much describes me to a "T" since my post-EQ1 days. I'll stay with a… more »

As that screenshot, dated in 2002 shows, UI customization in MMOs has been around for a long time. I can't remember exactly when they added the capability to EQ1, but it was probably a year prior to that shot. Since then, interface customization has gr… more »

This morning, mucho comedy from "back in the day" in EverQuest I. Every time you reload this page, a different quote will appear below. Many of them are not "family friendly" but all of them are funny and were saved for one reason or another. ;) There… more »

I think that's a large part of why I've been a little unfocused with games lately. There is still a tiny chance that I can get the LOTRO account unlocked, and if I do, LOTRO will be a primary focus.
Or, I guess, I can just wait until 2036 when the… more »

Yesterday's post mentioned a "complex casting system" in a game some friends and I tried to design a few years ago. I was reading through the forums where we were doing this design work (they're still up, hidden), and was going through the long thread w… more »
