“Star Wars: The Old Republic” Awesomeness
Here’s an awesome sneak peek at Star Wars: The Old Republic, the MMO coming from LucasArts set in the ancient and exciting history of the Star Wars galaxy. Last I heard it was going to be free to play, too, supported by micro-transactions (for example, paying a couple of bucks for something that would help [...]
This is the Post I Would Write About Gaming…
If I were feeling inspired to sit down and write a post about gaming right now, instead of working out and then vegging out to destress from a very busy week.
Jeff Green on why he says he sucks at gaming.
Grim Fandango Puzzle Document Released By Tim Schafer
Tim Schafer, the notoriously crazy-talented mind behind some of the greatest adventure game moments of my youth (ok, ok…adulthood) has released some of the game documenation behind Grim Fandango, the Aztecian Film Noir classic. Really kewl stuff, the kind of thing DVD extras are made of.
Just the simple number of wacky adjectives you can apply [...]
WoW Insider Gets the Scoop on the Blizzard Authenticator
WoW Insider has a good article that may go some way to allaying any fears about the security of the Blizzard Authenticator. This device basically allows two-factor authentication for your World of Warcraft account.

Sometime during my history of gaming, games got more complicated. Games [...]
Does Your Night Elf Need A Date? Try Datecraft.com
This ones for all my single friends who play World of Warcraft. Discovered the other day that there is a dating site for World of Warcraft players — datecraft.com. I know, I know. You’re picturing pasty white goth chicks who have known more twinkies than other human beings. But, at least with the cursory look [...]
Wrath of the Lich King Maps
If you’re interested, the Wrath of the Lich King maps are available on WoW Insider.
I really like the looks of the zones in this new expansion. They’re much more earthly (Azerothly?) than the last set, which were pretty sci-fi.
I’m thinking we should be getting the expansion in hand right around BlizzCon time, since it seems [...]
World of Warcraft News: Death Knights and Achievements
Detailed info on the Death Knight class has gone live on the World of Warcraft site.
Interesting to me is that in the lore section (I’m a story nerd…so I actually skip the stats and go straight to the story), they actually mention the Death Knights from the newest WoW novels, which are orc spirits which [...]
