I played a lot of League of Legends during season two. It is a game that fulfilled my PVP spirit and as my first (and only) MOBA had a lot going for it in the way the games played out. It is kind of like baseball – your individual effort really has an impact on the team…

More Lawsuits
Got this little Diddy hot on the heels of the EA suit. “If you had a PlayStation Network account, a Qriocity account, or a Sony Online Entertainment account at any time before May 15, 2011, you could get benefits from a class action……” for more information clicky here I’m guessing I got it because I…
MMO Bucket List
One raid boss that Ascension always had issues with was Al’ar. Not sure why, but he was particularly nasty. So much so, that while we got everything down around him, we never killed him in particular. I hated Al’ar. I remember one night, when I was on healing duties on the add pickup (good old…
I Am So Weak
Despite my obvious and clear negative reaction to the original thought of supporting Mark Jacobs, a couple things happened that was a tad silly and makes me a soft person. No no, not that kind of soft but mushy nostalgic soft. First, I tried to find the Stratics boards which were the main boards I used to…
Scarcity and the Canadian Lynx Story
The Canadian Lynx is an interesting predator. It lives almost solely on the snowshoe hare – and is very effective at catching, killing, and eating them. While that is not particularly interesting in itself (a cat predator eating a bunny for dinner) what is fascinating is the lifecycle the Canadian Lynx is doomed to repeat….
EA’s Hat Trick
CEO resign? Check. Voted America’s WORST Company (again!) ? Check. Part of a class action settlement, that anyone in the USA who bought any (or all) of three titles, on any (or all) of four platforms? And you can make up to 8 claims for a total of $162.96. ? Check. http://www.easportslitigation.com/ This is old…
I Am Alone In My MMO
Amazing things have happened in MMO advancement. Graphics, systems, play styles, game modes, etc. etc. etc. We have come a long, long way from multiple week grinds to get a level and losing all of your items (and even levels) upon death. Most of us, while we may look fondly back on the memories of…
Les Miserables
No, the headline isn’t even a half ass metaphor for the emotional state of the typical MMO veteran player right now. It’s about the movie/musical/video game (wait – what?) Les Miserables is one of those instances where I really am reminded how little I know, and how uncultured I am. The movie is the first…
Keep Camelot Chained
I have a love/hate relationship with Marc Jacobs. Love for DAOC – I left EQ for that game, and played it hard and religiously for years – even after Trials of Atlantis came out. I played on the testserver (Pendragon) and submitted bugs, and was active in the community. The guild I was a part…
Adventures in Tech Support
