Don’t join MySpace Mobsters

A few weeks back, my daughter sent me a link to join a game called “Mobsters” on Myspace. (They actually have several similar games - Heroes, Rockstar etc.) It is just one of those little Apps you can add.

At first it was kind of fun. I didn’t get into it as much as she did, but I would log on every day and buy more territory, do a few missions, and add people to my Mob. Read more

U give me grp plz? I need this mob.

Dear Game Designers,

Please fix the current issues, with grouping in MMORPG’s.

It used to be, that grouping was something we naturally did. It was difficult to be in a world, wandering around getting jumped by orcs. We would form groups, and hunt together for the day.

Now, games are designed to guide us through the content, and level. People will come up and ask for a group because they need a certain kill, for a particular quest. They join, we kill the mob, and they leave. Read more

Grandma buys all the games…

I am on a first name basis with the manager of our local Gamestop. (Seriously–I am. This is Scott and his wife. He runs the local Gamestop)

He has so many games reserved for me, that it takes a Cray to manage the database.

He calls me when he gets news for hot pre-orders, and makes sure we get every cool promo item there is.

I have 7 grandkids. Six of them are already playing video games on a regular basis. (give the 2 year old another year) Read more

Older Players in MMORPG’s Clashing with Younger?

This morning, I was doing my usual thing. Drinking Coffee, and reading some of my favorite gaming blogs. Rob, over at MMOCRUNCH, wrote an interesting article about the Generation Gap in MMORPG players. Read more

Dancing in online games — to excess?

While I was researching the dances in MMORPG’s for the Lark’s Choice Award, I ran across new MMO’s that are devoted JUST to dancing.

I love the roleplay aspects of MMO’s but come on. They made a whole game around it..heck actually I found TWO! (Dance Party and Dance Online)

Who needs a WHOLE game just to dance in?

We can dance in our favorite MMORPG, and then go slay a dragon too! (someone should go tell all those folks to come join us in our games!) Read more

Best Dances - 2008

I had so much fun researching this particular article!

I must have spent 20 hours watching Youtube videos of dances from games. I logged into WoW, EQ, EQ2, LOTR, and Vanguard to dance a bit myself. I looked at a total of 33 different MMORPG’s. I showed my top 5 to several other gamers and got opinions. We finally made our decision!

Profile of Moorgard

I began reading

back in 2001.

When he commented about a guildmate of mine, Ferkl of Veeshan Guard on CT server.

After that, his site was almost a daily read for me. He always had all the news and gossip about Everquest, with a touch of sardonic wit thrown in here and there.

He was often very critical, but always stated his reasons. Because he was fair, and would often defend Verant, he was often flamed. But overall, he had a great site, with great comments and gossip. Read more

New Bloggers Could Become Overwhelmed…

I am lucky that I have some computer knowledge. I have designed and maintained both static and content driven websites in the past.

Therefore I understand html, SEO, and most of the relevant things that would be needed on a website.

But blogging is a whole new experience. I have been trying to make the conversion, in my little brain …WOW. (ha,ha I am too old for this shit) Read more

Geek Quizzes - You know you love them!

Come on, admit it. You have spent at least a few hours taking all those internet quizzes. What is your IQ? What MMORPG are you? How redneck are you? (I know I have!)

After we take the quizzes, if we like the outcome, we rush to post them on Myspace. We let everyone know that we are the most excentric, and our Goth name is Dawn. I wanted to show you how to use them on your blogs instead.

The most annoying thing, for me, is all the pop-ups on those sites. I mean really…are you kidding me? Must I have 23 little windows advertising little dingbats and glitter things for my page? Does anyone ever actually click on those dumb annoying ads? Read more

The Internet is Too Distracting!

So as you know, I have been trying to learn all about this thing they call ‘blogging’. During my travels, I read many articles on “what every blogger should know.”

One told me that I really needed to register for Digg, so I did… What they didn’t tell me, is that I would end up wandering around the Digg site for three days, reading blogs and digging them. (so much for writing my own blogs) Read more
