The ultimate gamer’s machine, version 1.0 — Mt. Dew mod, liquid-cooled gaming computer with refrigeration unit, water and syrup pumps, CO2 tank and carbonator. I love the idea, but that all sounds like a wet, sticky mess waiting to happen.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion ships today. Here’s the official FAQ from the Elder Scrolls website; here’s an Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Wiki, created by the same players that made the popular Guild Wars Wiki. My guild has done a lot of talking about this game and has been encouraging everyone, especially me, to give this a try. Only thing I can figure is they’re hoping I’ll miss a few raids and tumble down the DKP standings. Or, it could be a good game.
EverQuest turned 7 years old last week.
EQ celebrated by offering a double experience weekend for all current players, which is available until noon pacific today. My secret EQ contacts told me they were knocking down about 3 AA points every 45 minutes. That was in a best-case scenario experience group with a botted cleric — mine, on loan to the secret contacts.
Best EQ Cleric memory: Level 1 dark elf cleric fresh out of Neriak the second day of live (because if you will recall, there wasn’t a whole lot of playing going on that first live day — crash, crash, BOOM!). I was lost in Nektulos Forest, again, and it began to rain. Even with dark elf vision, I couldn’t see a damn thing and ran right into the skeletons and mummies. I could see then. I saw I was getting the shit kicked out of me.
Thus began the first corpse run of many to follow.
Congrats EQ. You are legend.
