Oh hi, I haven’t seen you since last year!
Another year has passed us by, and, once again, I am making a novel attempt to be more proactive with my blogging. Considering my track record with such things, I have an uphill battle ahead of me. Currently I am still out of town visiting family, so my gaming and blogging are kind of on … Read more
No Rest for a Hero
Well, I’m finally moving to morning shift at my job, something I have been trying to do for a while. Not only will this allow me to focus on more of the culinary aspect of my job, but it will allow me to have a much more open gaming schedule. So I’ll have more to … Read more
Work Work…
I’ve been pretty busy with work lately, having received a promotion and, of course, new responsibilities. I haven’t completely neglected my gaming, though… I transferred my hunter on WoW back to Garithos-Alliance and I’ve been gearing up my warrior. My wife bought me Dragon Age: Origins Awakening for my birthday, which is pretty decent, although … Read more

After several comment posts from myself, I decided to explore what it really … Read more

Auto-Quest Completion and why it’s a good thing
We’ve all been there before; a quest-giver asks you to kill 50 bear-men, you do the deed, go back to turn it in, and then he asks you to kill their leader. You then have to kill 50 more bear-men, the respawns of the ones you just killed, just to get to your target. Then, … Read more
My Summer Project
The other day I was going through my computer, purging my hard-drive of games I no longer played, when I realized that I have an abundance of games that I haven’t finished yet. Its not because they were too hard, but because I either grew bored of them or something else caught my attention (damned … Read more
There are so many buttons… S-so many buttons!
Tonight, Alicia and I opened our Christmas gifts to each other so that we didn’t have to drag them with us while we are spending the next few days with family. My wife surprised me with these: I am so excited… It’s like being a kid on Christmas morning all over again. I’ve already started … Read more
Once upon a Christmas, all I wanted was a Gameboy…

I myself will be back in Tennessee with family, attempting to see everyone before my wife and I have to be back here. Then we will celebrate the coming of a new year … Read more
