This week was busy in RL, so I did not get to spend too much time in game, but on the weekend, I did manage to get in some Eve and Diablo III, and I started back up in Star Trek Online. My main effort this week was spent outside of the virtual world of
Star Trek Online Revisited – The Tutorial [STO]
As I mentioned in a previous post, I felt like giving Star Trek Online another try. I had purchased a lifetime subscription back when the game launched, but lost interest after a couple of months. This time, I want to try to push towards max level. Installation of the game was no problem – just
The Secret World Launch News
Just checked my email and saw that the launch of The Secret World has been pushed back a couple of weeks to July 3rd. Further information from a post over at the official site indicates that there will be 2 more beta weekends – June 15-17 and June 22-24. Now I’ve got something other than
Beam Me Up Scotty
The launch of SpaceX into orbit is a huge moment in the space age. While the most significant efforts of maned space flight occurred over 40 years ago, the launch of a civilian, commercial space vehicle is a step towards the future. It is appropriate that the this step is taken accompanied by one
The Secret World Beta – Weekend 2
I was fortunate enough to gain access to the second weekend beta for The Secret World. My character from week one was still around so I headed back to Kingsmouth. This trip, instead of messing around with the zombies (which I found were part of a repeatable quest), I headed straight to the sheriffs

During the course of a typical workday day, I am pulled in so many directions that it is sometimes hard to remember which project I spent my time on, so I started tracking what I did on an hourly basis. Because I like to play multiple games over the course of a week, I carried
Am I using the Internet wrong?
While this isn’t really related to gaming directly, I am concerned that I am doing things wrong. Listening to all the talk this weekend about the Facebook IPO, I started wondering if I was different from everyone else. Numerous news stories covered how Facebook was going to use advertising to make a profit or how
Listen to the FC
I would have thought I’d learned it by now, but yesterday I was reminded in dramatic fashion that I need to listen to the fleet commander. I thought I was safe flying an interceptor in a fleet of 100+, but I was wrong. I would have been safe if I had only listened to someone
Anticipating Diablo III
Less than 24 hours until Diablo III is officially released, and I can not wait. While I had access to the beta, I really did not give it much effort, and it has been years since I last seriously played Diablo II. Interestingly, when I learned that Diablo III was coming out, I reinstalled Lord
