World of Warcraft break – week 1!
Today marks 7 days since I started my hiatus, and I’m not really missing it yet. I’m sure my competition in the auction house has been overjoyed that I’m not…

I re-attached the neck tonight. It still needs to have the pickups and knobs put back, the bridge re-installed, and then re-strung.

STO- Meet Chris Rickenbacker
Servers were up this morning! I researched the controls a little more, and know what I’m doing for movement and interaction now. I have the basics of combat down, both…

I got Star Trek Online installed and patched fairly quickly. Here are my initial impressions – One giant server. From what I can see, all players are in the same…
Choosing a New Game
So, what to play during a break from World of Warcraft? I know I didn’t want another fantasy, sword & sorcery genre game. Over the past year, I did the…
Putting Skul on the Shelf for a Bit

Working the Auction House
I’ve mainly been working my professions in the game lately. I’ve bought a bunch of nice tanking gear for my pally, and made some good pieces for my warlock. This…
The Ice Stone has Melted.
Most of my time in the game lately has been spent leveling professions, and it’s really changed the way I play. Instead of running heroics and getting yelled at, I’m…
