I know it has been a while since my World of Warcraft hacking story but I wanted to give everyone an update.  After about a week I had everything restored to my account - the person in the department at Blizzard responsible for account restoration was actually quite friendly and helpful.  The whole experience made […]

So there’s this writer at The Times Online (British Times, not New York) who seems to be the latest graduate of The Kevin McCullough School of Irresponsible Pseudo-Journalism. The gist of her latest article is that many adult men are basically grown-up babies, unable to emerge from their youth because of their silly predilection […]

I experimented quite a bit in college. No, not like that. I’m talking about PC games. Even though I had an Xbox, a PSOne, a Gamecube, and a Dreamcast, and despite the fact that my PC could never be considered even a mediocre gaming rig, I was probably more of a PC […]

Ok - I really just might quit this whole MMO thing if I cannot get some satisfaction. I am usually one to put lots of fun links into posts and make sure my obscure references are known to all, but I just threw up my earlier post prematurely so you all could get the […]

It has been quite a holiday - I have been all over the place and ended up getting back into WoW after the glow of my PS3s latest Blu-Ray disc faded. Funny enough, I have been renting more HD-DVDs than Blu-Ray, but I digress…
I had taken about a 6 month hiatus from WoW and finally […]

Yes, you read that right - I bought a PS3.  The purchase however was a direct result of the HD format wars though - at least that is my excuse.  I have been a die hard Xbox 360 fan-boy since launch and have hated on the PS3 quite a bit in the past.  After watching […]

This may be my last post on Tabula Rasa for a while…
I finally did get to level 5 (cloned my character before I did though) - then I had to pick some classes for my characters. I figured I would go one for each tree - a soldier and a specialist. I tried out my […]

So, I have been reading a lot about how reviews these days are incredibly inaccurate and want to offer a different take here - multi-part reviews as we get into and play the games.  I agree with Gabe over at Penny Arcade - you cannot just sit down and write a review based on a deadline.  You […]
