Fallout 3 – Oblivion’s successor :-(

I know this will antagonise a lot of people and get me seriously beat on, but does anyone else find that Fallout 3 is like playing a post-apocalyptic version of Oblivion? I mean, I can’t stop feeling like I’m playing Oblivion, but with guns and without the diversity of races. I know the engine has…

You ever been in bed with an OCD girl?

The mature guild

So I’m in a new guild in Age of Conan. It’d been so long since I played it at all, that the last guild booted me out for inactivity. Fair enough I guess. Work and life has come first lately. This new guild approached me because apparently I was pumping pretty high DPS rates as…

Your help needed… Please?

I need your help folks. Over the past few weeks, on and off, I’ve managed to get to the point where I have multi level buildings without the help of anyone else. But now I’m getting close to the crunch. You don’t have to do anything except go to this website once a day for…

"Beats Dragonslaying"

This is funny for so many reasons, but mostly because its exactly how I felt about WoW before I gave it up completely. I may miss some of the people I played the game with, but the game itself got so boring. So to compete with the World of World of Warcraft World of Warcraft…

Initial impressions : Age of Conan

So after lots and lots and lots of tweaking, I have managed to get my computer to run Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures at a pretty decent rate. At least, from what I hear in the communal OOC channels, its pretty much the norm. I average 20-35fps with spikes up higher if you don’t have…

No Age of Conan for me :-(

In one of those twists, I pre-ordered a copy of Age of Conan Collectors Edition when it was first made available here in New Zealand. That makes me one of the only 111,000 people world wide to have a copy of this edition. How do I know how many people have it? Because Funcom originally…

Finally Finished Prophecies!

The time changes are a little harsh. Now that I’m working during the day and 5 days out of 7, I don’t get the time off like I used to when I was working Security to spend with Brooke. When doing the security, I’d work 7 days, get 7 off (with a day shift in…

Whats Steve doing? Hello?

With my vacation fast approaching, and putting in a lot of overtime at work lately (its going on 1am and I’m still working on one client’s site at the moment) I really haven’t had a lot of time for much of anything in general. So you’ll just have to take my word for it that…

Super Mario theme like you’ve never heard it before

Back in the 80s when I was just a wee wipper-snapper (Oooh… There’s a hint Anouska, I’m old enough to remember the 80s) there was this great little game that came out on this absolutely revolutionary gaming platform. So revolutionary I was addicted and still play it today when I get the chance. One of…
