    More LOTRO pictures

    I have been playing a bit more Lord of the Rings Online and am mostly enjoying it. I started a hobbit hunter, but after a quick meetup with Frodo and Sam, he ended up in the same introductory quests as the human character. So then I started an elf lore-master, and that had a completely…

  • Finished Halo Reach

    Well, I finished Halo Reach, which both ends the series and brings everything full circle. I thought I had a long battle sequence left that would take a while, but really I just had to kill a couple of Elites and a Zealot and then a Covenant cruiser, and that was it. I won’t spoil…

  • Lord of the Rings Online

    This weekend, I signed up for the newly free-to-play Lord of the Rings Online. It is a fairly generic sword and sorcery massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). Its hook is that it is set in the Tolkien Lord of the Rings universe (okay, Middle Earth) and you play a role (insignificant for the…

  • Star Trek Online Captain’s Status Update

    I finished the last of the Breen/Deferi/Preserver weekly episodes. It was pretty good and had not the worst plot of the game. I think if Cryptic can keep these up, it’ll be a great addition to the game. I also really made Vice Admiral. Before, when I maxed out the skill points, I wasn’t a…

  • Star Trek Online Skill Cap

    My Science Officer Admiral has maxed out the level cap in Star Trek Online, which means he won’t advance in rank any more, but it also means he doesn’t earn skill points. Now if he were already maxed out in skills, that would be fine, but he’s not even close to being maxed in all…

  • Star Trek Online Weekly and Daily Missions

    I’m really enjoying Star Trek Online’s Weekly and Daily missions dealing with the Deferi and the Breen. The Breen ships are quite a challenge, and they’re nearly as tough as the Borg on the ground. So far, the plot is moving slowly, but it has a lot of potential. Most of the missions can be…

  • Why I quit Eve Online

    Full disclosure: I changed the title of this post. I didn’t really hate Eve Online, but decided I didn’t want to play it, so I quit it. I really wanted to like Eve Online. I really did! I was about done with my free trial sometime back and was thinking about starting the paid subscription.…

  • Star Trek Online Battle

    In this Star Trek Online battle, my ship, the USS Ampere, is protecting a damaged ship from waves of alien attacks. Since my ship is a science vessel, it doesn’t have very powerful weapons, but does have good shields, so my hull is well protected. You can see that the battle is generally turning and…

  • Star Trek Online Sector Map Navigation

    This video shows sector map navigation in Star Trek Online. My ship, the USS Ampere, is in the galactic map sort of near DS9 and Bajor. I turn around an enter the Rolor Nebula, an area with randomly generated missions that you can repeat over and over again (and must if you want to rise…

  • New Star Trek Online Content

    The folks that run Star Trek Online are doing their best to keep us from becoming bored and to draw gamers in. Now they have added some new weekly episodes, plus some daily repeatable missions that involve fighting the Breen. On the ground, the Breen use freeze grenades and things to slow or freeze you,…
