A Weekly Thing

Taking a cue from other blogs I frequent, I'm adding a bit of structure to my blog. Hopefully, this will get me writing more regularly. But, I've fooled myself before...

Anyway... The plan for Fridays is a quick weekly review of bits I found interesting and maybe a preview for what I'm playing (or otherwise doing) over the weekend. Yes, more crap about games. It's what I do.

I finally finished Fallout 3. Well, I finished the main story and a decent chunk of the side quests. I went through as the good guy, so I'll have to play it the other way at some point. I'll record my thoughts later, but the short version is simply: that game rocked.

The Runes of Magic open beta started this week, which has been a pleasant diversion for the last couple of days. I'll have more to say later, but it was quite surprising.

Spore finally got on Steam! A bunch of other EA titles went online as part of the deal. As a huge supporter of Steam this is an awesome development. It definitely lessens the DRM issues in the public eye somewhat, even though Steam itself is a effective bit of DRM. Oh well... a topic for another time perhaps.

The soon to close Tabula Rasa went free to play a month early. This is great news since I wanted to pick it back up to get further in the game before it goes away completely. If you haven't given it a shot yet, I strongly reccomend it. TR does some interesting things both in the MMO and scifi spaces.

I'm heading home for the holidays this weekend, which sadly leaves me without console or windows for over a week. Thus, my gameplay will be limited to WoW and Starcraft during the holiday. Although, I'll probably have a d20 something session with friends. Good times!
