  • LOTRO Tour Part 3: Michel Delving to Hobbiton

    This time, I am using my Hunter to take the tour because Hunters can easily zip between the major Middle Earth locations. This video shows the path from Michel Delving, where the last part of the tour left off, to Hobbiton, with a short detour to the Great Smials in Tuckborough. Again, no loading screens…

  • Finished Borderlands: Great game, but underwhelming ending

    I finished the main missions of Borderlands and thoroughly enjoyed the game, but the ending is quite a let down. I was quite high level before attempting the ending, having done all the other quests I could find, so I had some great weapons and gear. Therefore, I was able to power my way to…

  • Enjoying Borderlands

    I bought Borderlands on Steam when it was on sale for $7.50 for the Game of the Year edition (as I write this, the game is on similar sale) and have been enjoying it. Borderlands is a FPS (First Person Shooter) that instead of trying (and failing) to be photo-realistic, it has a detailed cartoony…

  • Trying out Nier for PS3

    A friend loaned me Nier for PS3 since he had just achieved all the trophies and liked the game. Since I love RPGs, he suggested I check it out. I have mixed feelings about Nier. I think I could really like it, but it didn’t grab me so hard in the first hour or so…

  • Trying out Age of Conan MMORPG

    I downloaded and have played just a bit of Age of Conan, just to try it out. I don’t actually need a new game to play at the moment, but I had been told that Age of Conan (AoC) was a nifty free-to-play MMORPG. AoC is certainly prettier than Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO),…

  • Burnout Paradise sale on PSN

    PSN has a sale on Burnout Paradise for PS3 along with some addons for $7.99. Not sure when it ends, but I like Burnout Paradise enough that I bought it. If you don’t have Burnout Paradise, check it out – good fun!

  • Take a look at ggamdori’s Uncharted 3 beta multiplayer movies

    My friend ggamdori has posted a number of movies showing the Uncharted 3 beta multiplayer game features. Take a look at his YouTube page. I will link to one of his popular videos below, but take a look at all of them! Uncharted 3 looks like good fun!

  • My Latest LOTRO News

    It has been a while since I posted any LOTRO news, and my video upload project is stalled because I’ve been busy. Most of my characters have left Thirst for Power, which couldn’t seem to gain critical mass in terms of having enough active members online at any time. Most of the kin members jumped…

  • LOTRO Middle Earth Tour Part 2: Needlehole to Michel Delving

    This video continues my Middle Earth tour in LOTRO. I start at the entrance to the Shire from Ered Luin (see the first video) and the ride to Waymeet and Michel Delving, ending at the Mathom House. This video was captured using the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle using an HDMI connection. While the sound was set…

  • LOTRO Middle Earth Tour Part 1: Ered Luin

    This is the start of my tour of Middle Earth as envisioned by The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO). LOTRO is such a huge game that I thought it would be worthwhile to show people how amazing it is. I decided I would ride from end to end and post the video, but I…
