Even though I am enjoying my Wintergrasp escapades and other occasional PvP battles in World of Warcraft they don't offer any XP, and I am not likely to get from 75th to 80th level on the Dalaran cooking daily quests alone. Being 80th level would make me more effective ...

The EVE Online servers should be down now, being upgraded with the Apocrypha expansion. When the universe comes back there will be wormholes leading to unknown space, vastly improved graphics for everyone, skill training queues, Tech III hardware and probably some other changes I've not been paying attention to. ...

Despite London Transport deciding that both the Underground and Overground lines convenient for me should have their service suspended on the same day I am able to make the journey in to London to see Watchmen at the IMAX, as arranged by Limited Edition. After some reintroductions with people ...

Blue emergency service-style lights start flashing on the stage, The Prodigy's Poison is playing on the PA system and The Bluetones walk out to rapturous applause. If I didn't know any better I'd think it was 1995. But even though there is someone wearing a Suede t-shirt in ...

I've been rather scathing of World of Warcraft's Northrend content recently, although it was partly owing to trudging through the quagmire of achievement-orientated and otherwise-pointless holiday events. Just as Winter Veil ends the Lunar Festival turns up, swiftly followed by Valentine's weekend. With so many holidays I need ...

My desire to get a flying dragon, a different kind of Drake that I'll call a Tech II mount for this post, means I haven't been in New Eden terribly much recently, but that's not to say I haven't kept myself busy. I have a few more BPOs to ...
