I haven’t been this hyped over a Live Update in a long time. I won’t bore you with every little detail, you can find all that on the official website. The first great thing is that Unrest is being made into a persistent instance. I’m not sure how exactly that’s going to work yet, but [...]
A growing concern among parents (and spouses I guess) is the widespread proliferation of webcams on the internet. A few years back, webcams weren’t exactly easy to use and often times required separate software to operate. These days however, webcams are simple to use and most online chat programs have integrated webcam support. Load up [...]
In a moment of boredom, and to see if I could find some mobs that die really fast and drop lots of treasure chests in a vain attempt to get some Legends of Norrath loot, I fired up my Arasai Wizard (Burnspike) a couple days ago. I had created him several months ago but only [...]
I had some problem with my front brakes a while back and without even telling me, the garage went ahead and replaced them with Ford parts for a whopping total of almost $400 (2 pads, 2 rotors). I had called around and found after market parts for just over $100 that would have done the [...]
The latest thing to hit Norrath (on both EQ 1 and EQ 2) is Legends of Norrath which just went live a few days ago. A new trading card game similar to Magic: The Gathering but a whole lot more complicated. The game is online only and free to play as long as you have [...]
Scrapbooking is a lot like blogging when you really think about it. It’s a way to preserve pictures, newspaper clippings and other little bits of information so that you can go back to it at anytime in the future. Just like a blog can be personalized with themes and templates, a scrapbook can become a [...]
After the minor set-back of being denied the 25 or so quests I did during the betrayal process, I finally got back on the horse and started hunting down quests in Freeport and then in the Commonlands. Didn’t take long to get annoyed with how scattered the CL quests were so I headed over to [...]
I sunk my teeth into some questing last night, completed most of the Barren Sky line and now only have 2 left to do that start in that zone. There were a couple of times where I had 6 or so mobs beating on me but I never really felt in danger of dying. Mobs [...]
Any time I travel to a new place I like to check with friends in the area to find the best places to eat or shop, tourist attractions and so on. I was lucky enough to spend 5 weeks in Asia a few years ago and for my next vacation I’d like to go somewhere [...]
My first couple of days as an Inquisitor have left me wondering if I made the right choice in betraying Qeynos. I’m not finding that many quests to do in the city of Freeport, I expect there will be lots in the Commonlands though and will check there later. My biggest point of confusion lies [...]
One thing that really irritates me about Cell Phones is the long contract I always get stuck in. My current one was a 3 year contract but thankfully it ends this January. During this time I’m stuck with the phone I have unless I want to pay a fortune for just a phone, or sign [...]
I have finally reached the end of the road, I am now an Inquisitor! It’s been a lengthy journey, along which I killed many Qeynosians and sabotaged many others. In time I may return to the light but for now, my dark side has taken over. To complete my final task, I have slain the [...]
Owning a house can be a wonderful thing but one thing to keep in mind is that eventually you’ll be needing to do some home improvements. Aside from the regular maintenance like cleaning gutters or re-doing the roof, there are a variety of addon projects that one can partake in to make a nice house [...]
I’ve run through a dozen of the sabotage quests now. The low level ones weren’t available to me, and the bounty hunting ones would just take too long with having to run back and forth to the Commonlands just to get through the first few quests. One of my favorites so far was Practice Makes [...]
