It’s been months since I last wrote a blog post here and although that’s par for the course, I just wanted to break the silence and (sort of) explain why I’ve been away.. this time. The explanation is simple: my current job prevents me from doing so! Yes, unfortunately, this website is not my full [...]
They introduced vehicles in Entropia Universe yesterday and, having used their legs to get everywhere in the past, the players went wild over them. The developers had announced that they were going to distribute cars for free to random lucky players during the day so people were either hanging out in the cities waiting for [...]
I first discovered Entropia Universe in 2008 while doing convention coverage for IGN Vault at Gencon in Indianapolis because Mindark had a booth there. Back then, it was still running under the old graphics engine so although the game mechanics appealed to me, the visuals didn’t. In August 2009, they switched over to the new [...]
If you’ve ever played Wizard 101, chances are that you’ve played one of the most addicting minigames online. Sorcery Stones is a tile match game similar to Bejeweled but unlike the latter, you can only move tiles laterally and you don’t necessarily have to make a match when you move a tile.

So I finished playing Dragon Age Origins twice over and I’m still not done. Why? Because there are 25 blanks in my Achievement List! I know I’m being obsessive but I can’t help it. Actually I’m not so sure I’ll have the patience to play through all the different classes just to get the last [...]
For the past ten days or so, I have been obsessively playing Bioware’s latest role-playing game Dragon Age: Origins. Although my obsession with any good game is nothing new, there’s something about DA:O that drove me to blog about it today. But let me start from the beginning. DA:O is set in a fantasy world [...]
Seriously. This is my fourth week playing Aion and at first, gold (or kinah in this case) spammers were a minor annoyance. Within a week, NCSoft had put in a quick fix so all you had to do was right-click on a spammer’s name in chat and that brought up an option to block that [...]
