Eye on: Aion

Aion is a relatively new MMORPG from NCSoft, the same company that created Lineage II and Guild Wars. Lineage II has had massive success in Asia, but didn’t fare as well in North America. While beta testing Aion this weekend, it seems like NCSoft is trying to learn from their mistakes and bring their new [...]


Second Skin trailer is up

Back in March of 2007, Ren and I were filmed for the documentary “Second Skin”. It’s been along time, but the guys at Pure West Docs finally got the trailer together. It looks better than I expected it to, and I can’t wait to see it. It follows the lives of seven gamers, and how [...]


Sony moves ahead with Everquest movie

According to Variety, Sony has hired ’300′ writer Michael Gordon to write the adaptation of the videogame for the big screen. If you’re reading this, you don’t need a description of what Everquest is. I always thought the game had enough lore and backstory to make a damn good movie. Chances are, it’ll take place [...]


Free as a bird now

Last night I quit my WoW guild. It’s something that was coming for a few weeks, especially after everyone I was friends with left. I was stoked to keep the guild moving, but then the new guild leader posted a few polls about what direction everyone wanted the guild to go in and I was [...]


Is it time to leave Norrath?

Eight years. That’s how long I’ve been in Norrath. Granted, the last three have been on and off because of WoW, but that’s a long time to spend playing a videogame. In Everquest, the best accomplishment you could make would be making it to the Plane of Time. For those familiar with the questline to [...]


Where all the WoW dances come from


Second Skin looking better all the time

Victor just posted that the producers liked the trailer. I have no idea how much of it we’re in (if any at all) but it’s good to see that the project’s going forward. Click here for the pwdocs blog


…till your eyes bleed

This weekend was all PvP. With as much free time as I had, I PvP’d till my eyes bled, so much so that I was able to finally get my Grand Marshal’s Silk Ramient. When I started this weekend I had 16308 honor points, and by the end of Saturday night I finally got enough [...]


DING! 70

Yes, I know this is long overdue. I dinged 70 on Feb. 11. 1-70 in around 6 weeks. I’m sure that’s not a speed record, but I have impressed myself. Being level 70 has been fun. Not only can I start doing the Caverns of Time quests seriously, but I get my FLYING MOUNT! Flying [...]


Nagrand

After finishing all my quests in Terokkar Forest, I migrated over to Nagrand. This is one of the best looking zones in any MMORPG I’ve ever seen. The best way I can describe it, is a living Michael Whelan paintng. I own several of his paintings, all of them from back when he was releasing [...]
