Weekend warcrafting

Monday, September 29th, 2008

This weekend's gaming time was again spent mostly in Azeroth, partly because I got the bug for tanking and partly because my game time runs out immintently. I was a little forgetful in ordering a new time card for World of Warcraft and am expecting a break of a ...

Quick fixes and brief sessions

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

I have not been piloting from my pod in EVE Online much for the past couple of weeks. This is owing partly to a hectic week at work and partly to the progress I've been making in World of Warcraft, where I've been able to hook up with my ...

Weekend gaming

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

After the hectic week at work it was nice and relaxing to have little to do over the weekend. I passed the time with a fair bit of gaming whilst also taking advantage of the wonderful weather by going out for a few walks. With my small but ...

Imagine a fight with cannons

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

There are quite a few places in Azeroth, the world of World of Warcraft, that look similar, which shouldn't be surprising as many of the towns and cities were probably designed by the same architects. Within the occasionally familiar-looking walls there are usually many discriminating and often unique features ...

Rather not be fishing

Friday, September 12th, 2008

With every new character in World of Warcraft that I plan to play significantly I always promise that this is the one where I'll keep my fishing skill in line with my level. There is some lure to fishing in World of Warcraft, with many types of fish being ...

The key to victory in Alterac Valley

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

After Sapphire took advantage of the Spirit of Competition and ventured in to Arathi Basin a few times, I took my rogue, Knifey, in to the battlegrounds on the last day of the competition. Quite a bit of PvP action was enjoyed, and I even won a gold medal ...

What's in a name?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Whilst helping to stab orcs in Hellfire Peninsula, Knifey bumped in to someone called Epicstupity. I didn't stop to ask if it was an intentionally ironic name, just in case it wasn't.

Cloaked and daggered

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Mission running for the Caldari Navy has my standing increasing steadily, and with it I am able to move up in quality of agents. From the negative quality level two agents I have proved myself capable or working for a level two agent of quality 16. This gives ...

Sapphire tries protection-based PvP

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

World of Warcraft has entered in to the Spirit of Competition, and commoners all over the world are talking about the battlegrounds of Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and Alterac Valley. There may even be chatter about the Eye of the Storm and the gladiator arenas, but Sapphire, my warrior, ...

Sapphire bumps in to a gnome

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

It seems that I am still nervous about meeting new people. Despite wanting to level Sapphire quickly so that I can get to the Outlands and start tanking for my transatlantic group, and for a better chance of getting in to other instances, I turned down a random invitation ...
