Age of Conan Redux: Fail

OK, so I gave the return to Hyboria a try seeing as how all I hear is about how revamped and more exciting it is.  Well not really.  Apparently all the changes are endgame.   I was still seeing the same zones with the same issues for all my little “baby” characters.
I do have to say [...]


Wedding and Birthday compromise.

Hello!!
So the Monkero and I got married and went to paradise to do it in too!  Unfortunately it happened that the week in Maui also was the week of my brother’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Dustyn!!
So in a very awesome move on my brother’s part he let me celebrate it for him late with our regular [...]


Conan Redux

Hello again,
So I received an email from Funcom telling me all about how the land of Aquilonia has changed for the better and so many improvements have been made.  To give me a peek I am offered a 10-day risk free visit to see for myself. So I’m going to give it a go and [...]


X-Men Origins: Wolverine

So I played this game before I left for Maui.  I guess both a distraction from how long it was taking to finally get to departure and my hopes that another game might just have hopes of being a good translation of the movie.
Well good news! It is not a decent translation of the movie, [...]


UP

I have to say to Pixar, another gold star!  So though I am a kid at heart I am very pleased to see animation that is not regarded as the province of only children.  It still disheartens me to see a frightening number of children at movies like UP though.  Not that children can’t appreciate [...]


Star Trek (Rebooted)

I didn’t have great expectations for this film, and was utterly blown away by the SHEER AWESOMENESS OF IT. To be honest, I fought the Trekness through most of my adult life, surrounded by friends who love it, I would spurn it to be contrary. Bear eventually got me to sit and watch Wrath of [...]


Wolverine (the Origins of Aforementioned)

To start, I freely confess to having read only a handful of X-men comics and actually enjoying the third X-men film despite plot decisions even I knew were dumb compared to the comics.
So I went into this film really only expecting to see a good story and a lot of action. I did get a [...]


Wolverine:Origins

So… I’m really speechless. And not in a good way.  Don’t get me wrong Hugh Jackman is still the best Wolverine and probably one of the best casting decisions along with the leads for Iron man and Incredible Hulk, but I think the franchise has lost it’s heart.  The story had right elements and touchstones, [...]


Mae govannen

So in the interest of keeping the alarms at bay, I am alive and well.  My title of the post should give you enterprising and well read types a hint of my recent shenanigans.  Yes that’s right, I’ve been bumming around the fair lands of Bree and Rivendell, even a fair bit of time in [...]


Resident Evil 5

So another game has come into my little hot paws, and played it I did.  In fact I played it alot.  Capcom still bringing a dirty taste to my mouth after that Street Fighter fiasco I played, I was a little hesitant to tackle another title of theirs.  More the feeling also as it has [...]
