Once again I’m on the receiving end of Microsoft’s shitty console quality assurance with my Xbox 360 system failing on me, again. This is now the third time that my 360 has died on me, but this time it didn’t have the decency to RROD on me now that it is out of warranty. No, [...]

Lord of Blogging Neglect

Another month has passed with empty promises of blogging more so it’s about time that I sat down at my keyboard and typed some words into a browser for you. Where have you been? I yearn to know! Awww, I’m touched. Really. I haven’t been up to anything particularly exciting, just the same usual stuff. [...]
The Greatest Game You Never Played

Given that my blog has been mostly mmo-centric during its lifetime it’s probably safe to assume that there’s a good chance that many of you are not too big on console gaming. Or even if you are, there is still a good chance that the greatest game ever made (in my opinion of course) slipped [...]

Okay, don’t read too much into the title. I just needed something catchy, if not silly, for this entry. My hiatus from online gaming has produced a completely unexpected result for my gaming habits: casual gaming. Wait, what? Did I really just admit to playing “casual” games? Oh dear god. I did! But dear readers, [...]

Man was I excited about Super Street Fighter IV. I couldn’t wait to get back into the action and school some scrubs … Yup, I was going to pick up where I left off and hold my own. I couldn’t have been more demoralized when my first foray in online play was met with my [...]

Good intentions only get you so far in life, you actually have to follow through on them. Over the past couple days I have intended to update my blog with an entry centering on Mass Effect 2. Sadly this never came to be as one thing or another got in the way and my general [...]

“Hi March! I believe we’ve met many times before. I’m doing well, and you? Oh? You’re thinking it’s time for another break from online gaming? I was thinking the same thing considering how incredibly behind on my console gaming I am. You’re right, I have effectively given Blizzard $30 for logging into WoW a handful [...]

If you’ve been following me on twitter you’d know that my weekend has been absorbed by beer, wild card playoff football and one game. No, it hasn’t been WoW. Oh no, it definitely hasn’t. Between an extra PS3 blu-ray remote and a $25 gift card I received from Christmas it was high-time to pick up [...]

How awesome are the new 5 mans in the Frozen Halls? I know right? Er, well … I haven’t seen them yet. What little time that I have had in WoW was spent setting up add-ons and running one PUG with the new dungeon finder tool. I’m determined to use pitbull again but ver.4 has [...]
