Loving the mounted combat in LOTRO Riders of Rohan
The mounted combat in the latest Lord of the Rings Online expansion, Riders of Rohan, transforms the game in fun and interesting ways. When you are on your war steed, you have a new set of class-specific mounted skills. So my Lore-Master can shoot fireballs, stun enemies, and more, while Hunters can use bows from…

Finished Diablo III
I finished Diablo III last night and enjoyed the ending. Of course, as soon as I finished it, it suggested I start again in nightmare mode. Not bloody likely. I know of people that play games over and over again to get the platinum trophy or max achievement, but once I know how it ends,…

Diablo III is fun, but a bit too much work
I have been mostly enjoying Diablo III lately, though I have been spending a fair bit of time playing LOTRO, too. LOTRO is still my comfortable, go-to game that is almost always fun and entertaining. I still keep playing the occasional A-List title, and my current one is Diablo III. I never finished Diablo I…

Eclectic Game Playing Recently (Pocket Legends, LOTRO, Star Trek Online, and Planetside 2)
In this case, by Eclectic, I mean random, crazy, no theme or consistency… I’ve been very busy recently with work and personal projects, so I haven’t had a lot of time to play games, and when I have had time, it has been in small increments. The exception to this was Fable III, which I…

Fragmented gaming recently, but finished and loved Fable III
I’ve been pretty busy recently, so have only had very fragmented gaming time. I did finish Fable III, however and really enjoyed it. The game was good, the voice acting superb, and the sense of humor throughout was terrific. Fable III started off pretty easily, with baddies almost never hurting you as you blast them…

LOTRO Tour 9: Lone Lands
In this video tour, we cross the Lone Lands from the Forsaken Inn to Ost Guruth, but in a roundabout way. The path takes us to the summit of Weathertop where the Hobbits encountered the Nazgul, then down a shortcut and back to the road. We encounter wargs, spiders, half-orcs, and more on the way…

LOTRO Tour 8: Bree to the Forsaken Inn
Here I paid for a fast horse from the south gate of Bree to the Forsaken Inn at the start of the Lone Lands. Upon leaving South Chetwood, we can see the Midgewater Marshes, then the entrance to the Bree player housing area, and finally arriving at the Forsaken Inn, which clearly has seen better…

Fable III Missing Child mission
I’m enjoying Fable III a lot. To some extent, it is a slightly dumbed-down Fable II, but so far, it is extremely well done, and the voice acting is superb (John Cleese, Ben Kingsley, Bernard Hill, Simon Pegg, and more)! I have only played a few hours, so haven’t done any flirting or marriage or…

LOTRO Tour Part 6: Stock to Bree
In my never ending quest to show just how big Middle Earth in LOTRO is, I’m continuing the tour, this time riding from Stock (in the Shire) to Bree. This is, of course, not the path the Hobbits took to Bree, as they went through the forest and met Tom Bombadil. Sometime, I will show…

Star Trek Online ground mission
The best part, in my opinion, of Star Trek Online are the starship battles, but the ground missions are fairly good, as well. In most of them, you and your faithful Bridge Officers (BOFFs) fight enemies and scan things and fix broken things and generally save the planet. It is important to choose your BOFFs…
