Shamus boldly goes

March 20, 2010

Cool – Shamus is going to do Star Trek Online after he finishes up with LOTRO. I think his first character looks quite promising: I just got WotLK, so I think I will focus on WoW for now. But if theres another MMO I’d jump to, it would be ST:O, so this is great.

Star Trek Online – temptation

March 9, 2010

UPDATE – the sale is over. Star Trek Online is now priced at $39 (still $10 off retail). It’s bad enough that I got hooked on World of Warcraft. Now I see Amazon is selling the new Star Trek: Online MMO for a ridiculous 45% off – $28instead of $50. Man, though, it looks cool. [...]

Spider Man 4 dies so that Warcraft may live

January 17, 2010

I don’t really care about the news that the Spider Man franchise under Sam Raimi’s hand is over, except for the much more important fact that it frees Raimi to work on the Warcraft movie instead. As Harry says at AICN, I feel confident in saying that the next film we’ll see from Raimi is [...]

Razorfen Kraul

September 28, 2009

So, back in Azeroth I had a really enjoyable run through Razorfen Kraul with a winsome nelf priest friend of mine; the high point had to be the armada of snufflenose gophers we were parading arouund. The low point was getting those gophers to actually do their job. My warrior is level 34, on the [...]

Azeroth and Anathem

September 22, 2009

Now that Ramadan has ended, I’m taking up my geeky pursuits again. I’ve got a copy of Anathem from the library and added some game time back to my Warcraft account. I have to confess that it’s a hard choice Just saw the movie 17 Again starring teen heartthrob Zac Ephron and former teen hearthrob [...]

Domo Kun at Target

September 1, 2009

last Halloween, I was kind of surprised to see Domo Kun all over the local Target store. It seems Target decided to embrace the brown guy in a big way, it was really quite bizarre. I thought no more of this until just now, reading that a new line of collectible Domos will be on [...]

cheap games

August 17, 2009

along the lines of my earlier post about sci fi, I am also interested in soliciting recommedations for cheap, preferably indie, games. I’ve claimed to be a console snob in the past (even though my Wii is only the second console I’ve ever owned – the previous one being the original Nintendo) but given that [...]
