Everytime I have had to rely on a dwarf to get me through a quest I've been lead down. They either run in wihtout though of others in their fellowship, or don't bother coming to your rescue. And if things go wrong, they blame every one else.

I don't like dwarfs much. My character is probably even more un-fond of dwarfs. I can hear her grumbling every time we run into some dwarfs.

For those of you that don't know the game, Guild Wars is an online multiplayer fantasy RPG that was first released in 2005.  It has many gameplay similarities to MMOs like Everquest or World of Warcraft but also many differences that set it apart from them.  For one thing, there is no subscription fee whatsoever.

We've finally finished Dragon Age: Origins.  What a game!

It took several weeks for us to get through it, usually playing a couple of hours at a time.  We took our time to explore the game and complete many of the quests, and it took about 70 hours in total.

It's still about Dragon Age. Because it's all I have been doing, sad to say. Well, all I can write about. I am sure a blog about work, cat or compiling shopping lists would not be as interesting as my virtual romance. So, this weekend, after having been struck by a vicuous cold irl, Alistair gave me a rose. Isn't that sweet?

I think I found the reason that so many girls and women play Dragon Age. Aside from the great story, the nice graphics and the interesting gameplay with pause option, there is Alistair. Yes, Alistair in Dragon Age Origins is a powerful romantic interest. For your character, if she is female. It's not that he's handsome, or cute, or has a nice voice (I find his accent annoying tbh) but ... he is just so, so ... well. See? It's when you can't put a name to it, that it becomes intriguing.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is the explodiest game I have ever played.

As some of you know I have spent a lot of time making games that have absolutely no graphics at all. Players have to type in instructions in order to play.  And, because I never want to make a game become a typing test, you have to WAIT for your TURN!  Oh no!
