Fun game night
So some friends had a “Nightmare on <their> Street” gaming night for people to just drop in and play board games. The idea was to play Halloween or spooky themed games but since the husband isn’t much of a gamer, we decided to pull out something more generic and not as complicated to play. Which […]

Hmm, I think I’ve used this post title before. Oh well. It’s another update, I haven’t waited a year to do this, and the title amuses me. That’s all that’s needed. So, I’m back to playing EQ2 again. Over Memorial Day weekend, SOE had double xp on which meant I could get the AA I […]
Continue readingMore Farmville stuff
So, note to self – never post your profile link in the “looking for neighbors” thread on the Zynga boards unless you’re open to being swarmed. I did exactly that on my “FB game only” account and ended up with almost 200 friend/neighbor requests in a only a few hours. While it’s been pretty cool […]

So, I’m an online gamer, but particularly since I was laid off in October 2009, I’ve started playing social games such as Farmville much more often.

The ending will be a complete unknown because it’s not been written/published yet, so I have something to look […]

Yimenee’s home, done in May 2009, was my first experience with the Qeynos style 5 room house. I’d been dying to try my hand out at decorating one of these homes and Yim obliged. With some plat in hand and my own carpenter skills (I leveled these up so much creating items for his home) […]
Continue readingEQ2 update, still going strong
Yep, despite my occasional belief that the only reason I still play EQ2 is to decorate houses, I’m still playing and enjoying myself. I may only log in and poke around doing quests here and there on my alts, but even that is enjoyable. I can play at any time really and have something to […]

It’s a really good idea, actually. Seeing how it works in action now, the whole concept is well thought out and can give newer players a huge boost to catch up with long-time existing players. And the benefit isn’t just one way, as I mentioned in my other post. Just grouping means each of us […]
