Hit Monsters and Get The Gold

June 24, 2008

We’re all used to getting spam tells in our games offering to sell us gold.  We’re used to seeing gold farmers in games, seeing ads on the internet for gold.  Yesterday – I had a new situation occur.  A gold farmer actually got my MSN screenname and tried to have a conversation with me.  [...]

Bartleisms.

June 23, 2008

There is sort of a public outrage about Bartle’s latest interview with Michael Zenke of Massively (I posted about this in my last blog post).  I’ve never heard so many idiotic sounding replies about this article in my life.  One blog post in particular that I need to highlight is Tobold’s.  Now normally, I’m a [...]

Bartle on WoW

June 20, 2008

One of the most entertaining interviews I’ve read in a long time was posted on Massively today.  A friend of mine, Michael Zenke, interviewed Richard Bartle at the IMGDC that I attended in March.  The link contains the full transcript of the conversation.
I just love when this man talks.  He cracks me up every time [...]

Taaz – Virtual Makeover

June 19, 2008

Okay, so I’ve tried these sites before and normally they never work out well.  This site has Flex tools that allow you to customize your look however you want, with hair, makeup (lipstick, eyeliner, blush, concealer, eyelashes) and changing your eyebrows.  I didn’t do anything except change the hair and eyeliner in mine, but it’s [...]

Battle for Facebook

June 18, 2008

There is an interesting article on RollingStone.com about the battle for Facebook, basically talking about how 4 previous Harvard students who went to school with Mark Zuckerberg (head of Facebook) claim that he stole the idea from them.  
Whatever the outcome of the legal wrangling, the battle over the origins of Facebook prompts a fundamental [...]

Wooty-woot!

June 17, 2008

A big, heavy Dell box with my name on it just arrived here at the office.  It’s taking all the patience I can muster to let it sit there, looking at me, whimpering for attention.  Tonight I start the exciting process of XPifying Vista in order to hopefully make it not suck quite as much, [...]

New shiny computer!

June 12, 2008

I’m super excited because I bought a new computer from Dell a few days ago, and I can’t wait to use it.  I’ve been using a laptop right now that is pretty decent but a couple years old now (It’s a dual core, ATI x1400, only 1GB RAM and 5400 RPM hd).  It ran WoW [...]

A Productive Weekend!

June 9, 2008

*Drum Roll*…..Pawtopsy is level 70! In what feels like forever (and has really only been a couple months) I’ve finally reached the top in the Burning Crusade. At first, we were a bit overwhelmed and not sure what to do with ourselves…but then we realized we’d been planning for this for a long [...]

Go Big Brown!!!!

June 7, 2008

Horse racing is my secret weakness.  I love it, I love going to the track and betting.  I love watching it on TV.  This year is potentially the biggest year of racing in my lifetime, it could be the first time in my life that there has been a Triple Crown winner.  This could be [...]

Magelo for WoW!

June 2, 2008

To those who were new with MMORPG’s with WoW or EQ2, the word “Magelo” probably doesn’t mean much to you.  But to those of us who lived and breathed EQLive back in the day – Magelo is a service very near and dear to our heart.  Basically, Magelo allowed character profiles on the web before [...]
