I didn’t have interwebs for days after Hurricane Irene.  Broken and twisted trees covered the city.  Trucks swarmed in and for days I was serenaded by chainsaws and the pops of electric power sporadically turning on and off. While I denigrate my blackberry on an almost daily basis, I was grateful to have my smart phone and it’s access to the...

*waves* I have been enjoying learning to craft in DDO.  Ok,  you caught me. *blushes* I am not a good liar! Our static group second generation character’s are working towards level 5.  As a group, they have been passing all ingredients to me.  They have also been giving the odd weapon or armor to deconstruct.

Mediocre at best, this is one sequel that should have been left to bake a while longer.  I salivated over Dragon age at Gencon the year before it launched.  I played all the add-ons, beat Origins, and wished and wished for more.   I...

Sometimes, despite our favorite game’s best intentions, things go pear shaped. You get home at the end of the day, and switch on your computer and meet the ultimate cock block. DDO had some problems with their downtime yesterday.  Patch 9.1 over worked the hamsters, and the game didn’t come back online until almost 6pm est. To be perfectly honest,...
