Regular readers may have detected a change of tone around here lately. I hadn’t detected it until my last post, after which I scrolled back and saw a lot of ranting and a few brief news items. At which point I thought… “Yuck.” This might be a good time to explain where the na...

So you can’t have missed all the nonsense about this Consumerist article (I’m not going to dignify it by linking to it) that claims that “Teresa” said she was harassed on, and ultimately suspended from, XBox Live because she put in her profile that she was a lesbian. It sadde...

It’s been a little over a week since I started my job blogging for ITWorld. Today I noticed my XFire Profile: “This Week: No Games Played” Huh. Now in all honesty this isn’t accurate because I’ve played 8 hours of Too Human on the XBox since I bought it last Saturday mo...

Sorry gamers, this is an off-topic post. Had the guinea pigs out running around and caught Mona, the baby having a bad fur day, and I had to share. I guess static cling electricity isn’t just a problem we humans have to deal with. And as long as I’m off topic and posting images, hereR...

I had planned to roll a Warden when Moria came out; I knew nothing about the class aside from the name when I made that decision. Visions of ‘friend of nature’ style gameplay and all that. Then when Moria finally launched, well, it seemed like *everyone* was rolling a Warden and I was pl...

We had a big ice storm here in New England during the Thursday overnight. Friday morning our power went out, so I couldn’t post before work. At lunchtime I came home to check on things, making sure neither Angela nor the guinea pigs had frozen to death, so no lunchtime post writing. By the tim...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the United States. I’ll be on the road, going to visit my dear old mum, so Dragonchasers will be silent for a couple days. I really like the idea of Thanksgiving. It’s all about gathering with friends and family and sharing a feast. No over-the-top gift c...

Sometimes I just don’t understand other gamers. Why do they hate the things I love, and vice versa? There’s something about me that’s just different from most gamers. And I finally figured out what it was. I’m a romantic and a dreamer. Fable 2 actually got me thinking about t...

So last night was all about the Thursday Night Football, thus no gaming was done. In fact overall damned little gaming got accomplished this week, much to my chagrin. XFire says I spend 2 hours playing Warhammer in the past 7 days, and that’s the game I spent the most time on, PC-wise (not tha...

Mahalo Daily outdoes itself with this spoof. She don’t take no jive on her hard drive. Waa-oo-waa-oo-waaaaa!...
