Sideshow & Syrana

This is going to be a bit different than last year’s goal list.  Last year I focused heavily on World of Warcraft goals with a smattering of Rock Band goals mixed in.  This year, I’ve broken down my goals into a few different categories: WoW, Aion, Dragons Age, Sims 3, Blogging, and Assorted.  And my, I look gamerbitious, don’tcha think?

…how else can you explain waking up naked in a jail cell?

Blood doesn't scare me.

After hearing several people comment and rave about how great Dragon Age: Origins has been, Sideshow and I had to check it out.  We seem to be one of the few blogs that weren’t offered a review copy, but that’s ok.  It was totally worth the cost for us.  Sideshow and I watched some videos and such, and it just looked awesome.  We decided to buy the PC version through Steam.  That seems to have been an excellent choice for us.  (For those interested, they have a demo for character creation.)

I started playing it about a week and a half ago.  And… well, I haven’t been able to peel myself away from it long enough to play any other games.  This is making it up into my top faves, for sure.

Let’s put it this way: I’ve played my main character in Dragon Age for 36 hours and have only completed 27% of the game.

Oh hi there!

What? Oh yes, I know there’s been nothing new ’round here for a few days.

You see, sometimes I get a bit distracted…especially by new games.  But not just by any ol’ new game – good new games.  Unlike Sideshow, I don’t really suffer from game ADD.  Instead, I tend to get hyperfocused on one thing at a time.  That’s why my playtime may seem to be monopolized by one particular game for a stretch of time then shift to another.  After the newness wears off, I tend to fall back into a more “normal” multi-game rotation of sorts.

Unfortunately, this hyperfocus can derail other projects I have going.  For example, this past week I’ve fallen (farther) behind (than usual) on reading other blogs as well as posting.  But hey, we all need mini-breaks here and there, am I right?

At any rate, I thought I’d give a bit of an update as to what’s going on in my virtual world(s).  I don’t usually write update type of posts, but what the hell… when have I ever followed the rules before? (continue reading…)
