Looks like I shouldn’t have slept last night. Or at the very least, I should have dragged my butt out of the hot zone. Just another day in Malton.
Mini-reviews forthcoming: Old Man’s Ghost Brigade
I ripped through John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War and The Ghost Brigades in a matter of just a couple of weeks – a bit of a triumph for myself, I should admit. I’m used to milking every page of a book for weeks, even months. It took me a year just to get through the […]
The more things change…
I’ve finally altered the wave portion of the Nerdflood banner that I’ve used since the beginning of time. Or at least, since the beginning of this blog. It was done on my wife’s suggestion. She found the old one to be to rounded and messy — she considered it more of a ‘splat’ than a […]
Urban Dead – still fun
It’s been a couple of weeks since I first starting playing the HTML-based survival horror game with a substantial group from Evil Avatar, but I have to admit, I’m still having fun. By this point with most games I play, I’ve already sucked all the entertainment value out of it and am ready to ditch […]
Offline again (maybe…possibly…yeah, more than likely)
I’ll be out of town at a business conference down in sunny Phoenix, Arizona for the next three days. I might be able to make it online every now and then, especially since my hotel room is confirmed a hard-wired high-speed room. However, any time scavenged online is likely to be spent defending Malton. It’s […]
Champions Online!
So, first they sold the City of Heroes/Villains franchise to NCSoft, and then they got the Marvel MMO pulled out from under their feet. Now what’s a studio like Cryptic that only knows superheroes supposed to do? Why, that’s easy! Create a brand new superhero MMORPG based on an ancient pen and paper game license! […]
Urban Dead: it’s like a text-based ‘Night of the Living Dead’…kinda
So, I’ve been hooked on Urban Dead since sometime last week. It’s essentially an HTML interface survival horror game, with emphasis on the “survival”, and not so much on the “horror”. You join hundreds thousands lots of people online in a persistent world that is one large, sprawling city. You gather up with a group […]
Out for a while
I’m going to be away from the site for a few days. My wife’s grandmother passed away this weekend after a year-long battle with lung cancer. I don’t want to say she “lost” the battle, as so many people in these sorts of situations do. It’s always sounded so horrendously pessimistic to me. But she’s […]
Talk about a shake up
Scott Kurtz appears to be true to his word when he said that he was planning to shake things up in the PvP universe, and that things might not be the same when all was said and done. This must be how it begins. The way I figure it is that Skull must be some […]
Ficlets has competition
I know that there are other entries in the short collaborative fiction space, namely Novlet and Portrayl (both of which were profiled along with Ficlets by ReadWriteWeb a while back). But they hadn’t gained the same amount of traction and their user bases are still relatively small. However, a new challenger has appeared on the […]
