With Halas, and a bunch of probably rather easy new quests imminent, now would be a good time to take a look at the Extreme Questing Leaderboard! When we last checked in back in February, it looked like this: Maltheas was on 8th, with stiff competition coming from all directions. I’ve not been playing too heavily since then, but Maltheas has put on another 170 quests, and also had the unexpected horror of accidentally levelling twice in a day. […] Araneus diadematus, the European garden spider, has been busy in my garden. I spotted this group of bouncing babies having fun on my wheeliebin and thought I’d share! The focus isn’t perfect, but I think it’s the best my little camera is going to manage as close as I had to get. These spiderlings are little more than a millimetre across each. Click the picture to get a larger version. Araneus diadematus – Baby European Garden Spiders I […] We asked for it. Apparently. Ugh. “You like, you buy, you ride”. I have dubbed these the Copykats, on account of them turning up almost exactly a month after WoW brought in RMT mounts, for the exact same price. It may seem, to the ignorant, that this is a flagrant attempt to repeat Blizzards success with the Sparkle Pony. It turns out it’s just a spooky coincidence! Corvic: 1. I actually concepted this mount a year ago and […] Maltheas’ sleep had been troubled of late. In his dreams he flew across icy vista, as if in search for something, but what? At first, he chose to believe it was just his tail telling him he needed to stop buying gnome-sized blankets for the cool cog designs on them. Yes, every tinker loves cogs, but every priest of Nife knows the importance of wrapping up snug and warm! However, even after investing in a rather more sensible dwarf-sized quilt […] A Casual Stroll to Mordor has some interesting news regarding Lord of the Rings Online’s next expansion. Adam Mersky is shown, in an until now overlooked video, to have said “… our next big region will be Enedwaith later this year.â€. There is speculation around the web that this is the next paid expansion, but I have my doubts. For a paid expansion you’d want somewhere that people have heard of. I’d never heard of Enedwaith, for the excellent reason […] There is a new entity in charge of the UK’s Ship of Government. Enter Cleggeron the Unexpected!!! After a tumultuous struggle with arch-nemesis Gordzilla, Cleggeron has emerged as the King of Monster Island, ah, I mean Westminster. Cleggeron! Coming soon to a Parliament near you. Will good Clegg head manage to stop the middle boss head from taking the evil Murdoch head’s advice? Anything could happen in the next five years! Update: December 2010. The answer to […] The observant amongst you may have noticed another button mysteriously appear in my overcrowded sidebar. It’s a Flattr button, and with any luck you’ll start seeing such buttons pop up all around the internet. It’s something of an experiment, but it is a rather innovative way for folks to reward content creators such as bloggers, musicians, and podcasters for their work without having to fiddle about with rewarding them individually. It also neatly avoids the creator feeling awkward or embarrassed […] |
