http://farstriderscout.alandin.com Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:28:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en WAR is in full swing, and for those that have actually looked at my Xfire profile, you can see that I've already logged some 50+ hours into it, not including before it switched over from beta.  Since I actually have a game to write about though, I'm going to make ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=154 Gina's giving me some flack about not writing about how I feel about Warhammer, but trust me, I'm getting to it.  I DID say that I might have to make several posts, after all.  One of the major things that I didn't cover yesterday was the classes.  Now, I didn't ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=152 So, I promised a writeup on Warhammer:  Age of Reckoning, but I figured it would be best until after the Preview weekend.  I'm glad I did, as they were changing things even through the weekend.  There are quite a few things I want to touch on, so I will probably ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=151 Supposedly comes down tomorrow.  Look forward to an info dump in the near future. http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=153 It's been nearly a month since I've written anything, mostly because, well, there's really nothing to write about.  Things are pretty stagnant at the moment.  I've applied (under duress, mind you) to the Warhammer Closed Beta, and gotten in...  And there's still nothing to write about.  NDA, blah blah blah... Expect ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=149 ...Is the poor man's CoD4.  That pretty much sums it up.  It plays almost the same, sans toggled stances (COD4 has toggled prone and crouch stances, CA has crouch that you have to manually hold).  The biggest difference is the unlock system.  In COD4, you gain experience and rank, unlocking ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=148 In our efforts to find something to play yet again, we bounced back to Guild Wars to pick up on the Prophecies campaign again...  And a short time later, before we knew it, we had finished it! Unfortunately, this is actually a bad thing.  With GW2 in the works, ArenaNet isn't ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=147 So, with Age of Conan being a bust (for now - I'm still kind of hoping Funcom will come through, but I doubt it), and nothing else really "doing it" for us, Warhammer Online is the next thing on the horizon.  Gina is pretty gung ho about it, but I ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=146 Take a very long time to finish. Gina and I did our first ever task force missions earlier today, running errands for Positron with a friend of ours.  We started around noon, and I don't think we finished until around 4 or 5pm.  It really started getting old after the 6th ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=145 I finally managed to find my EOS utility CD, as well as a flash card reader, and was able to get the pictures off my camera. I'm not going to post them here due to file space (I only have 100mb TOTAL available for this site), but I did upload them ... http://farstriderscout.alandin.com/?p=143
