Return of the Podcast: Episode 9

I said I’d do it, I warned you – you didn’t listen, did you? Well, now it’s TOO LATE!

THE RETURN OF THE PODCAST IS HERE!

Episode 9 of the All Things From My Brain Podcast is here.

In this weeks massive, DOUBLE SIZED, MAXI-PODCAST, I am joined by a special guest on his very first podcast [...]

iPhone Game Review: Cartoon Wars Gunner

On the list of things that can distract one from writing the next great American novel comes Cartoon Wars: Gunner.

A HUGE fan of the original Cartoon Wars game (I wrote something up on that game last year), I was really psyched when I saw that they’d come up with a new game.  With the original, [...]

I owe you a post: D&D in the Library

I grew up in a mostly Catholic family.  I say ‘mostly’ because we were Catholic, but we didn’t really go to church much.  Well, I went to church – I had to because it was right there at school and all.  Through the 8th grade, anyway.

When it was time to begin High School, I didn’t [...]

New distraction-Cartoon Wars on iPhone

Well.

As you may or may not have figured out by now, I am most definitely an Apple head.  I’ve got 2 iMacs at home and an iPhone in my pocket and I love to discover new games and apps to play with AND I love to share those finds with the kind folks who read [...]

iPhone Revitalizes the Side Scroller

With a crazy amount of Apps available through the App Store (something like 27,000 – and the majority of those are supposed to be games), the iPhone is quickly becoming a viable game platform.

HeavyMach on the iPhone

The old school gamer in me is relishing the return of the side scroller.  Some of [...]

The Queue

I love Blizzard, I really do.  I think they do so much to keep their user base entertained, engaged and coming back for more.  The one area where I feel they fail utterly is: population control.

Let’s paint the picture for you: you’ve been working all day, maybe it was a crappy day.  You come home, [...]

Weekend Stuff

So, I spent a good chunk of my weekend playing World of Warcraft – something that hasn’t happened in a really, really long time. I have to admit, the new Death Knight class is mostly responsible – well, that and the fact that I have a character who is actually making money for a change. [...]

Wrath of the Lich King: Death Knights

I have been playing Wrath for a couple days now, and I have to admit – Blizzard has done some pretty nifty things.

Some examples come from the Death Knight starting area and quests.  

The Eye.  The Eye quest lets you take a giant floating eye for a ride down to spy on the Scarlets.  Your [...]

Wrath of the Lich King

So – I got and installed The Wrath of the Lich King.

I must say, so far, it’s pretty freaking cool.  Meet Kurmudgeon:

Kurmudgeon is a level 55 Death Knight (they start at level 55).  His story is a simple one in that he doesn’t really have one.  I needed an alt and I’d used him a [...]

Warcraft

Well, to quote Michael Corleone: Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.

My trip to Blizzcon rekindled my interest in the World of Warcraft, among other games.  I’ve been doing a good job of balancing my time playing video games with doing other, non sitting around on my ass stuff.  Not [...]
