EQ2 - Back to Maj’Dul

In an effort to find more easy quests to complete I’ve headed back to Maj’dul. I had originally aligned myself with the Court of Truth, and have yet to finish all the quests for that house. This morning I did a couple more of them and am working on the final one now, [...]

Makeover Time

Ogres aren’t very pretty, especially by celebrity type standards, so with that in mind I set out to give Rearghhh a makeover today. He started out looking like this:

First off after entering a picture you have to go through some settings like telling where the eyes and mouth are, and the general shape of [...]

Return of my 360

It’s barely been 2 weeks since I got that dead Xbox 360 and it’s back already! I’m impressed with the speed with which Microsoft is responding to these Ring of Death repairs. I called in about the problem on October 15th and it was all said and done by October 30th. This [...]

Doin What a Dwarf Does Best

M:TG Online - Using a Bot

Shortly after I started playing MTGO I decided to try out a bot so I could do some buying and selling to get cards I need and get some extra tickets to also use to buy cards. YaTBoT includes a 3 day trial and I could see that a lot of people running bots [...]

Get Spocked

Nope, it has nothing to do with Star Trek, Spock is a people search engine that goes beyond the typical realm of entering a name and seeing what you can find. With Spock.com you can search by a person’s name of course, but you can also search by ‘tags’ such as hair color, age, [...]

M:TG Online - Collecting

Another great thing about playing Magic online is that the cards are much easier to keep track of which makes collecting sets a lot easier. Also, since the cards are virtual, you can make as many decks as you want and never need more than 4 of each card (except for land of course).
The [...]

Webbyplanet Coupons & Deals

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I hate to pay full price for my gadgets and things. I tend to wait until they come on sale or even pick stuff up second hand if it’s in good shape and I can test it out first. My monitor was $100 off, [...]

Boring few Days in Norrath

The last few days I haven’t been playing much and when I do it’s been mainly harvesting in Zek and working on my woodworking.  Gained 3 levels yesterday, up to 37 now but still don’t have the recipe for the Chameleon Totems, pretty much my only reason for going down the woodworking path.  I haven’t [...]

Magic: The Gathering Online

I’ve been playing Magic: The Gathering off and on for over 12 years, Revised edition was still selling in stores when I started.  I used to play every Friday at the local hobby shop and we normally had between 12 and 20 people show up.  Enough for a little tournament style play and it usually [...]

Indie Horror Films

Movies don’t have to come from Hollywood in order to be good or make a lot of money. There have been lots of small Indie films that turned out great and had quite a cult following. Clerks and the Blair Witch Project are two that come to mind which were extremely low budget [...]

Doh! The lights are back

So after blowing out the dust and hooking it all up, I played Oblivion for about 5 minutes and it froze up.  I shut it down and restarted it, heard some freaky digital type strangled noises and the screen stayed black.  Ugh.  A third reboot and the 3 flashing lights were back.  No biggie though, [...]

Manage Your Sales Campaigns

There are lots of sales lead generation services out there but most of them require you to use their web based software to manage your campaigns. Marketbright allows you to also use Dreamweaver or Contribute so you don’t have to abandon your favorite management software in order to pick up new leads. Peep [...]

XBox 360 - 3 Red Lights

I just picked up an XBox 360 cheap.  Real cheap.  $40 including 2 wireless controllers cheap.  Of course, it’s not working and I knew that when I bought it.  It’s the dreaded red ring of death problem, but since I know that M$ has extended the warranty to 3 years on this problem and the [...]
