Worgen Warrior - World of Warcraft
Author: eric / Jan. 24 2011
I've gotten back into World of Warcraft and am currently playing a level 31 Worgen Warrior. I should be level 32 pretty soon, probably by tonite or tomorrow. I originally had a Worgen Druid that I leveled up to 32, but found that it didn't really match my playstyle or character concept. I then switched to Worgen Hunter, because I read that it was great for soloing. I didn't enjoy...

Riverworld, Paladin and TRUE GRIT
Author: eric / Jan. 10 2011
This weekend I took full advantage of my recent NetFlix account and hunted around for something to watch while I played World of Warcraft. I had just acquired the fishing profession in WoW and figured that I could watch something entertaining while fishing. My first choice was a made for TV scif-fi movie called RiverWorld. I've read about RiverWorld, although I've never actually read...

Too Many Games!
Author: eric / Jan. 07 2011
Recently, I've splurged and gotten myself a multitude of games for my new laptop. Classic games that I haven't gotten around to finishing or old games that I've always wanted to play but never did. Now I have a bunch of them available to me from either Steam, Battle.Net, or Good Old Games. My dilemma is that I'm going back and forth between so many great games, that it's...

Hello to 2011 and Hello to a New Bag
Author: eric / Jan. 03 2011
Happy New Year everyone! After much searching, I finally found a bag to carry my laptop in! I first went to Bag and Baggage and left empty-handed. I then visited Tumi, where I once worked and actually found a messenger bag that could house my laptop. Unfortunately, it didn't have much in the way of cushioning, since it was just a regular messenger bag. My buddy who works there offered me...

StarCraft and Rainbow Colors
Author: eric / Dec. 29 2010
I really want to try out StarCraft II, but I'm probably one of the handful of people out there that have yet to finish StarCraft  and it's add-on, Brood Wars. I'm big into following storylines in games, so I didn't want to jump into StarCraft II without having completed StarCraft. So I logged into my Battle.net account and proceeded to download StarCraft and Brood Wars....

Windows 7 Phone Activations
Author: eric / Dec. 28 2010
Around a week ago, I did a fresh install of Windows 7 on my new laptop, in order to get rid of all the bloatware. I recently received a message saying that my activation key for Windows 7 was invalid and that I needed to input a new key and reactivate. I did some research and found out that a new installation of Windows 7 needs to be activated, so that specific installation is tied to the...

Revisiting Baldur's Gate
Author: eric / Dec. 27 2010
Christmas was this past weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed it! I spent a good portion of my Sunday playing one of the best RPGs for the PC, Baldur's Gate. Baldur's Gate basically changed the way RPGs were done afterwards, for the PC at least. It won numerous awards and still holds a special place in many a gamer's heart. I love this game, but actually haven't gotten around to...

Bag Hunting and More Window Cleaning
Author: eric / Dec. 23 2010
In attempting to get the EAX sound to work on my Asus G73JH laptop, I ended up just deciding to do ANOTHER clean install of Windows 7. While waiting, I caught myself watching The Santa Clause on TV. Not a bad movie, but the kid in it started to get on my nerves. If you're dad suddenly became Santa, would you go around telling everyone you knew about it? Even kids should know better than...

Bag Blues
Author: eric / Dec. 22 2010
My Bag of Holding came in yesterday, and for the Dungeons and Dragons geeks out there, this really is a Bag of Holding, at least in name. Created by the folks at Think Geek, it sports a "Bag of Holding" emblem on the outer flap, flanked by a d20. For the non-Dungeons and Dragons geeks out there, a d20 is die with 20 sides. Normal dice have 6, while geeks use the 20-sided variety. The...

Good Old Games
Author: eric / Dec. 21 2010
A big chunk of my disposable time (like disposable income, but just with time) has been spent playing some of my favorite games from back in the day. I stumbled upon this website called Good Old Games, which sells classic PC games from around a decade ago that are either hard to find or are no longer being made. The thing about old PC games is that they were designed for whatever hardware was...
