A Quick Wurm Post

I was asked to post a picture of my new little house in wurm. I’ve only been playing it a few days, and it’s a very basic homestead, but it will do me for the time-being.

Wurm is an interesting game. It might look graphically good in that picture, and it does do a decent job with terrain and the environment. It falls down badly when it comes to monsters and players though. but I don’t actually mind terribly much. […]

EQ2: Dungeonmaker to allow us to use our own characters.

Like quite a lot of MMO players, I’m currently in SWTOR-mode, but I could not help cheer this fine bit of news from Everquest 2:

Starting in the next day or two (on Test server only) you’ll be able to play any of your characters in a player-created Dungeon Maker instance.

This doesn’t invalidate playing as an Adventurer, but you can also play as your regular characters, regardless of level. (Well, okay, you still have to be at least level […]

EQ2: Dungeonmaker Frustrations!!!

I’m going to keep this brief. I am considering a proper article on EQ2’s latest expansion, Age of Discovery, but frankly every time I try to write it I become filled with ennui.

So, this picture below will have to speak for me. The situation is this: I’ve just entered a dungeon that another player has made. That underdressed lady is me, as we’re not able to use our real characters in player-made dungeons. The green swirly thing is the […]

The Wren – A Pirates of the Burning Sea Yuletide Song

This is from last year, but I shamelessly bring it back to the top for 2011!

I mentioned this song from the Pirates of the Burning Sea Christmas event a few days ago. It’s been stuck in my head ever since, so I thought today I’d have a crack at making a little video for it so it can get stuck in your heads too!

“The Wren” is a traditional Irish wassail. Like any such song, there are a lot […]

SWTOR: Buyer’s Remorse Averted.

I ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic today. It was a somewhat more complicated decision than it needed to be, for I was dithering over which version of it to purchase.

I often like to buy the Collector’s Edition of MMOs. My City of Villains Heroclix still have pride of place on my desk, though usually it is in-game stuff which attracts me to the CE. This is, I admit, a little ironic, considering how much I dislike RMT, but […]

New theme in progress

My old theme was rather old and couldn’t handle a lot of more modern WordPress features. So today, I’m going to be breaking things left right and center, as I try to get a new theme to behave itself. the site may look a little odd at times. Wish me luck!!

World of Warcraft : Some Chuck Norris Facts.

Last month, Blizzard was caught up in something of a backlash, after they promoted the antics of George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, screening a rather pathetic homophobic rant at Blizzcon, and holding him up as a model player.

Suffice it to say, Blizzard were forced to apologise:

Dear members of the Blizzard community,

I have read your feedback and comments about this year’s BlizzCon, and I have also read the feedback to the apology from Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. I’d […]
