Warcraft Wednesday: Wrath of the Monogamous
One of the stranger side effects of the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion for me is that I’ve felt less desire to play other characters beside my main. Sure, I play my Death Knight, but that’s only when my brother isn’t around to team up. I’ll try to supply a little [...]
HT Gaming: I Suck at Old Games
One consequence of the downloadable content like the Wii’s Virtual Console is that I’ve run into several of my old favorites that I’m simply no good at anymore. It’s a little disheartening to run into a game which used to only take me a day to beat that suddenly becomes impossible to finish. I’m not [...]
Board Meeting: Stellar Conquest
The Heavens – A home to the ancient gods, an infallible guide to the traveler, inspiration to the poet, the ultimate enigma to the scientist, a wonderful and beautiful mystery to us all – now become the battlefield of the future.
Or so the back of the box for Stellar Conquest reads.
Stellar Conquest is a strategy [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Winter Veil
I haven’t played a lot of WoW lately – it’s been a rough and busy month. I have, however, managed to hop on for short amounts of time to hang out. Right now the Feast of Winter Veil is happening in game, which is the holiday celebrated through Christmas and the New Year. It hasn’t [...]
Consume This: Fairy Tail
(Consume This is just my recommendations of media to watch/read/listen to etc. of things that I’m familiar with.)
Fairy Tail is a manga about wizards, created by the same man who did Rave Master. If this doesn’t mean anything to you, don’t worry. I’ll try to get you through it. I also want to note [...]
Board Meeting: Diplomacy
Diplomacy was actually created in 1959 by the great minds at Avalon Hill, but Hasbro/Avalon Hill re-released it in 1999. The newer version is the subject of this review. It is a game of pure negotiation, relying on your skill to make alliances and deceive your opponents in order to conquer the most territory [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Death Knightery
(Warcraft Wednesday is a weekly column about things related to my experiences in and about World of Warcraft.)
Death Knights are a new class introduced with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft. Like pretty much everyone else who plays the game, I created a new Death Knight character shortly after I [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Addiction
I’m not addicted to World of Warcraft. Yeah, I know, denial is a sign of addiction, whatever. But seriously, I don’t spend more time on the game than I did on other games before. All told, I don’t spend any more time on all my video games now than before I started playing Warcraft – [...]
Just Picture It: SpaceShipOne
I went to Washington, DC this past September (2008), and spent a long time in the National Air & Space Museum. I was very impressed by all of it, of course – I’m very enthralled by space technology and exploration. But I have to say that SpaceShipOne is one of the most meaningful things in [...]
Warcraft Wednesday: Wandering Into Wrath
Yes, I know it’s late. Quiet, you.
World of Warcraft’s second expansion launched last week. I’ve been enjoying the edges of it very much. i say the edges just because I don’t have unlimited time to spend playing, so my brother and I have been playing in little chunks at a time. I just wanted [...]
