Having been playing MMOs for a good number of years now, I find myself still playing the game I started playing five years ago – World of Warcraft. While there are times I get bored and want to move on, I find it difficult to do so.

A little late on the update but things have been pretty interesting as of late. March was basically my moving month as we moved into a new home out in Cambridge. A nice little three bedroom townhouse which is nice as we have much more space now and different floors so everyone can get their space needed.

While I agree with the SOP, it’s just a pain in the ass since it’s a large group of people learning the game and we’re basically stuck in a station for a week or two. I never seem to be on when a …

Yesterday EVE Online released their patch entitled Dominion with some things I was pretty interested in seeing did not disappoint at all including some very impressive graphical updates!

Ok, so I can’t pretend to know what half the items in the patch notes are but I’m still excited that there is a patch coming out for the game.
