I let all my game subscriptions expire (yes I had more than one) in anticipation of the Age of Conan release and as a result I had no MMO to play. So I decided to try the Requiem: Bloodymare Open Beta. A quick 2.2 GB download via fileplanet and I was ready for battle. Almost. Some […]
Well finally I’m back home after a week interstate on a work related course. I managed to make it back in time (just) to head down to the store and pick up my pre-ordered copy of Age of Conan - Limited Edition. The salesperson, who I’ll call Ben, brings out my copy and places it on the […]
As Tobold mentions, us Australian players of MMOs unfortunately have to play on servers 10,000 miles away, since no MMOG that I know of has any servers located in or near to Australia.

Wow. Controversy. Not since Tipa’s comment on Age of Conan’s boobies has there been such an outcry. Alex Taldren is stirring the pot this time with his comments on Age of Conan’s “revolutionary” combat system and Keen cops most of the flak.

Requiem: Bloodymare seems to offer something a little different from the standard fantasy MMO fare and may well change my opinion of Korean developed […]
There’s been lots of talk about the Age Of Conan pre-order bonuses. Depending on which retailer you pre-order from determines what bonus’ you get, in particular which mount you get. It seems there is a choice of either the War Mammoth that we’re all familiar with, and also a Rhino.
All this talk reminds […]
I’ve just returned from an interstate trip and while I was away I caught up with my brother-in-law. We were talking about the new nVidia 96xx graphics cards and he asked me if my PC box was big enough for it, it being somewhat longer than previous iterations.
Now I know exactly what is […]
