Acid for Blood

My, my, it’s been a while. Let’s do a brief gaming update.

Have not been playing Guild Wars like I said I would. Am planning on playing for at least a few hours this coming weekend.
Have, however, been playing Mario Kart DS and Guitar Hero III.
Sadly, have not gotten a Rock Band fix since last year.

I was one of 350 people chosen to be a Conference Associate at the Game Developers Conference next month (18 - 22 February) in San Francisco. I did not attend the GDC in 2007 because I was busy moving across the country, however I was a CA at GDC 2006.
The CA army will be wearing […]

I’ll be out of the country for Christmas. I don’t plan on taking anything but my DS with me. I’ll also be taking reading material with me and that will compete for time, so I’m not sure how much I will actually be able to catch up on my neglected Final Fantasy VI save game. […]

The Razer DeathAdder Guild Wars Edition mouse, which I wrote about in July, had been announced only for Europe at that time. I just checked the Razer website, and the Guild Wars edition mouse is now available for Guild Wars fans in the States. I’m not sure how long these mice have been available on […]

I haven’t finished Portal yet, for I am eschewing games to work on my NaNoWriMo. However, I will say that if anyone wanted to get me these, I wouldn’t be opposed:

News of official Weighted Companion Cube plushies popped up on the Steam update the other day.
The pair of Weighted Companion Cubes have the nerd […]
