Heroes Unleashed!
“Slurms, what’s wrong?”
“I felt a great disturbance in the Internets… as if thousands of geeks suddenly cried out in joy at their character creation screens. I think Champions Online has happened.”
Champions Online is officially open for business today! I ultimately didn’t fall in love with CO during my time in beta. But I will say I envy those playing for the fun they will have in the hero creation screen. Some are already in game, others are waiting at the front door for the delivery guy like a dog waiting for you to get a Milk Bone out of the box.
I want screenshots guys and gals!

If there’s one thing all of mankind can agree on, its that Nerfs suck. The age old question however, is if they are unwarranted or truly needed for balance. As with almost any game, lately I’ve noticed this topic being discussed fervently within Allods Online. Now, before I continue its important to note a few things. First off, [...]

Oh yes gentle reader, you are on the cusp of a post regarding Warhammer Online! Long time since I’ve written anything about the game. In fact, I think the last thing I wrote was about large members of its community walking away from the game, and how it needed to be a turning point for [...]

I’ve been spending a bit more time in Middle Earth for the past week. My account is still active until the end of the month from that deal of deals that I got before the holidays, and I figured I needed to jump in and see what’s what before deciding if I should keep a [...]

I’ve worked at my current employer for almost ten years now. That may not sound like an extremely long time, but considering I’m turning 30 in two weeks, it means I’ve spent a third of my life at the same job. Yeah, I know, right? Growing up, most kids wanted to be firemen, others wanted [...]

I love my kids. They can run me though the gambit of negative emotions and then make me forget why I was mad with a wink, a smile, or a random act of goofiness. They do wear me out though. I probably have the world’s most energetic son (as I’m sure every parent thinks). From [...]

I mentioned on episode 24 of the podcast that I had bought Trash Panic on the Playstation Store. I loved what I saw of the demo, and figured it was worth a Lincoln to see what the whole game was like. Well, many a swear word later, one which my daughter repeated (I didn’t know [...]

I’ve got a fever! And the only prescription, is more cowbell MMO’s. Seriously, it’s like I have MMOADD Mooaaadd….Moad. That’s fun to say. Anyways, yeah, I thought I finally had my list of MMO options narrowed down. I was so wrong. When I’m playing any given game, I think, “Yup, this is the one I’m [...]

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” – Peter F. Drucker
Back in the saddle, sitting in the high chair, marshaling the troops, whatever phrase you prefer it would appear that I’ve been put in a position of leadership. Its been a long time since I’ve been in charge of others, not since my [...]

As many of you already know, Steam, that warm and tasty PC games service that brings good things to us in a soft affordable package, had a mother of all sales event over the 2009 holiday season. Top shelf games which at one time were in the forty to fifty dollar range, were being tossed [...]
