I got about an hour into NWN2 yesterday and I was not blown away.  It's similar enough to the first one that I'm sure it'll do well with hardcore fans, but my initial impression is that this sequel lacks imagination and inspiration.  It hasn't done a whole lot to reinvent itself and, as a result, it feels a bit stale at first glance.  The graphic ( Read more... )

The multi-player demo for Battlefield 2142 came out today.  The download was amazingly fast considering everyone and their brother must have been scrambling to grab the file as soon as it was available (noon, EST).  I managed to sneak an hour's worth of play time in when I was supposed to be cleaning the house (the actual reason I took the day off ( Read more... )

Woah.

I picked up GW: Factions on Saturday.  AKA - yesterday.I just hit level 14.  That's as high as any character reached in Prophecies.  WTF ( Read more... )

I think the grass in my back yard is almost nearing a foot in length.  This means that I'm going to have to buck up and cut the shit.  I don't know why I can't get it through my skull that if I cut it when it's short, it'll only take a few minutes and I can go back to whatever it was that I was doing.  Now - it's going to be an hour long fiasco ( Read more... )

The new Dawn of War expansion is finally being talked about.  I'd known that they were planning on introducing the Tau for quite some time, and I'd heard rumors that the 2nd race would be the Necrons.  Now we know for sure.  Still no Dark Eldar though, which is probably a good thing.  They've also discussed the introduction of customizable hero ( Read more... )

I'm a bit of a freak today.  Here's why ( Read more... )

It's Friday an the last thing I feel like doing is work.  So instead, a catch-up style LJ entry for your reading pleasure.

First, a bit of an explanation of last night's rage-induced entry.  After we at dinner, I decided to download a few new demos from the X-Box Marketplace. First up, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (also called GRAW ( Read more... )

I'm at work way too early for comfort.  No amount of coffee can undo the damage that is waking up at 6 am.  None ( Read more... )

The play-by-post game is coming along nicely.  Our replacement Martell player has turned out to be one of the most diligent and active members in the game.  And a turn 3 muster was exactly what the doctor ordered to really kick-start things and get them rolling.  Preliminary work is still underway for getting the 9 player fan-variant off the ground ( Read more... )

My copy of Dungeons & Dragons Online attempted to deliver today, and failed. I'll sign the little card thingy and have it tomorrow evening.  I'm excited in so far as I really hope that it's much much better than the lackluster demo.

How much do I hate Sarah Lane?  With the white hot intensity of a billion suns!  The fact that she saw a "V for ( Read more... )
