I've been using the Internet for a long time now. I can officially say "long time" when it's been over 15 years. I've been "online" for even longer than that and using computers for even longer. Here are some "get off my lawn" moments for you young … [Continue reading]

New Character Creation Commencing

The day finally came after a bit of waiting. We logged into our "World of Real Life" account and created a new Level 1 Human. We decided to name him Xander Lee Zalewski. He finally logged in at 3:15pm on December 8th weighing in at 7lbs 4oz, carrying … [Continue reading]

Sweet Child o’ Mine

One of the things I think about as we raise our daughter (now 2) and have a son on the way (he's still taking his time) is how they will game and how we will game with them. It wasn't really something my parents did with us, mainly since video games … [Continue reading]

The War Inside My Head

This is what I'm currently doing. I was going to wait until 11/11 and buy Skyrim, but I had a weak moment and picked up Battlefield 3 for the PC last week. Everything you see in this video is actual gameplay. The multiplayer is that insane. It's not … [Continue reading]

To Isengard!

Hi, remember me? Probably not. I sometimes live here. Anyways... I did enjoy the Cataclysm expansion. They added a lot of cool features. The new zones and the reconfigured zones were both very well done. I now have more characters at max level … [Continue reading]

The Future of the Sims

When you look at the Sims, you'll notice that bar the expansions packs, very little has changed. But that's putting to one side one big Sims 3 expansion - The Sims Medieval. Introducing a quest system, the game starts to take on a simulation/RPG … [Continue reading]
