Blogs

ROCKIN!!  I see that we can now do comments and the url has changed to our login name.  So farckin cool!

I cant take it any more. I do most my gaming at work, because I can, but recently our internet connection has not been stable enough. Usually I get a few games in before I would get booted off, but tonight I have tried several times and the longest I have been able to play is 28 seconds! ARRRRHHHHHH, o well I guess I will go and see if I can pump the site somewhere.

My wife wrote this last night for a creative writing class she is taking.  It cracked me up so I thought I would share:

A Little Item I Call the Fork

    The truest test of whether or not a couple is ready for marriage is if they can survive registering for gifts.  A seemingly simple and exciting task you may think, however, the level of communication and compromise needed far exceeds most couples.  There are “big decisions,” like the sheets and the set of pots and pans.  There are “fun decisions,” like throw pillows and barbeque

For sure, the reason we play games will differ from person to person, but I am also sure that we can all agree we play games to be someone else, from Sam Fisher to Kratos to a powerful character in the latest Role Playing Game.

But I have wondered, is the immersion I feel playing these games important to everyone? Do some people play games just solely for entertainment purposes? Or do we sometimes wish we could drive a race car at 200 mph and shoot rockets at other cars or snap someone’s neck while we go to disarm a bomb?

Welcome all to the new filler of my time.. my gaming BLOG on truly wonderful adventures in RPG and MMORPG. I love all types of Role Playing Games, from the classics like Ultima that live in a hybrid fantasy world, to EVE Online in a vast universe of ship to ship combat and selling everything from ore to sex to the highest bidder. Over the last 25 years I have played everything from Text Adventures, MUD’s, MMORPG’s, Adventure Games, RPG’s, PnP, LARP, and even wrote my own stories (which I do for a living, not a great one but a living), and created my own adventures for D&D, NWN, etc.

Well here we are another Friday..Thank god!!

I have been asked how I make my sigs so I thought I would make a blog post to try to explain it. I am no graphics designer nor do I have expensive programs to work with so I improvise. I use Paint Shop Pro 6 for editing photos and PhotoImpact 10 for the lettering. I sometimes also pull out Microsoft Photo Editor 2000 (Office 2000 Suite) for cropping since it is the easiest for me to use.

Remember this might be the difficult way of doing it since I don’t know anything about graphics design or the programs I use.

Hello everyone,

Just let me tell you how excited I am that I found this website.  Im excited!  There, I told ya.  The boys and I are sick of the attitudes found in Halo2 matchmaking, so hopefully this website will turn up some good guys and gals to play with instead.

There are 11 in our clan, 6 that play regularly, and 4 of us can usually be found on any given night playing a few games.  Were not big on clan matches, but we always try to play together if we can because you just cant count on random teammates anymore.
