Acid for Blood

GamesIndustry.biz has an official statement from Blizzard Entertainment regarding their position on the issue of in-game recruiting for gay-friendly guilds. Blizzard states that polarising issues like religion, politics, and sexuality tend to result in conversations that result in harassment. Therefore all such “sensitive real-world” topics are banned from conversation in general chat channels in the […]

There is heated buzz from around the internets regarding Blizzard Entertainment’s official warning issued to a player who was recruiting for members to join her gay-friendly guild in World of Warcraft. According to Blizzard, forming a gay-friendly guild would incite harrassment by a large number of players, therefore she was not permitted to organise such […]

Here I am at my spiffy new location!
I posted about the possibility of the move from my Blogger blog just recently, however I originally started looking at getting my own domain about six or seven months ago. I did reasearch on hosting options at that time, but I decided to postpone the decision so that […]

I am so getting it.
Provisional list of games to buy:
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
I’m iffy on the last two, and Phoenix Wright is quite hard to find, anyway.
The previews for Metroid Prime: Hunters have failed to bowl me over, but I’m keeping […]

I was bored and curious, so I made a blog on WordPress.com. WordPress.com is another free blog hosting site, using WordPress (multi-user version) as the blog software/publishing platform.

Weekend gaming consisted mostly of Guitar Hero, when I could actually get a turn. The song line up for this game is really great. It would have been cool if they’d had a song (or two) from The Darkness, Poison, and/or Guns n’ Roses (maybe unlockable?). Oh my God, that would be sweet. Great game, […]

Weekend away from PC + Lack of time upon returning home on Sunday = Very little Guild Wars: Factions (preview) for me.
I created an Assassin briefly and mucked about in the Team Trials, but not long enough to gather any solid impressions. The new regions and costumes are beautiful.
The Assassins could have used nicer facial […]

I’m in a meeting right now. Not much gaming occurred in terms of Guild Wars, though I did attempt the bonus of a Mission that I have been trying to complete for ages (Divinity Coast Bonus, though I still need to do the Bonus to D’Alessio Seaboard). I didn’t get very far, because I kept […]
