Right. So I finally took a character to 60 in World of Warcraft. I’ve been playing since the beta days, so that’s a reaaaally slow burn-rate. When it comes down to it, I’m just a casual gamer, and I wasn’t in a rush to get to 60. To be fair to myself, I have a couple of other characters that I’ve leveled, too.

PS3 Announced

My thoughts on Oblivion — the game, not the holiday destination
Right. So I’ve got well over 30 hours into the game so far, and I have to say, it’s fantastic. My previous gripes remain, but like everything else in life, people tend to remember the fond memories and suppress the ugly ones (luckily for me, that’s worked on the wifee as well :D ). So it’s still irritating to see the “Loading area” message, but it’s rare when you’re in.. Read More
