For those not in the WAR preview weekend…

August 22, 2008

It’s not as good as the real thing….but here is a poster from the FoH forum who is running a live stream of him playing WAR.  Enjoy =)
I haven’t played much but I should be getting some time in the evenings over this weekend.  I tried a White Lion earlier and was definitely disappointed in [...]

WAR First Impressions

August 19, 2008

So I’m hearing that the NDA has been dropped.  Don’t look here for a lengthy review, and please don’t base your decision on the game upon this post.  My disclaimer is that this post is my first two hours of first impressions of Warhammer Online.  My highest character?  Level 3.  So, take it or leave [...]

Finally in…

August 18, 2008

So I’m now in the Warhammer closed beta.  Woot.  Just started the download, and it will be 4+ days at this rate.

WAR CoWs.

August 9, 2008

So I’m going to give WAR a try when it launches.  I played it for an hour at Comic-Con and wasn’t impressed, but I’m willing to give it another go.  It has the things I like – lower system requirements, traditional fantasy setting, lots of PvP….so I’m going to at least try the game.
Everything is [...]

Cuppy's Top Albums of 2008 (So far…)

August 8, 2008

Other bloggers have been posting about what they listen to.  So, I figured – we’re over midway through the year and it’s time for a “Best of 2008 So Far”.  I listen to mostly indie pop/rock.  So here we go.  These are in no particular order.

Why? – Alopecia

British Sea Power – Do You Like Rock [...]
