August 25th

So today has been pretty bland. Everyone started school now so I really don't have much to do. There are no games I am really interested in right now and I don't really have any money. My job that I am suppose to be working at hasn't even called back yet. Desperate times though call for deserate measures so I may have to staty lying in order to get work. I am still having trouble getting readers for my blog so sometimes I feel like I am typing to myself hah. I got into a huge fight the other day with my mom. She likes to reinforce how big of a piece of shit I am. I really can only get assualted so much before I have to just take myself out of the situation. I have been thinking about joining the army again . I should probally wait a few months then head up to the recruitment office. I think what I really desire in the army is the respect that comes along with it to the norms. Thats something I have never had normally people didn't even realize me but if I can join the service I know I can at least get the repsect of my family.

Runes of Magic

So I am getting frusterated with this game. It always tends to stop working at a random time and this is one of those times. Its just not loading for some reason. Very frusterating.I would really like a good guild for this team so if any one out there has a well run end game guild with vent. Toss me and email dherrin239@yahoo.com I would be really interested so see what this game has to offer and make some new friends. :)

Downloading Games

Isn't it annoying when you register for a new game then find out that in order to download you have to choose from a number of mirror sites. Normally the mirror sites makes you wait about 5 or 10 minutes some of the more popular ones may even make you wait 30. Why WHY! Can you not just give us a direct link like tons of other games do. If you are going to spend tons of money making a game. At least put the download on your own page please that way you don't turn people away because they don't want to wait half an hour just to get the download started.

Immersion in mmo's

Back in the day when I first fired up world of warcraft at the young of 14 I was amazed. Never had I entered such a detailed world that felt so alive and mainly it felt massive. I was running around doing my quest pretty much chatting with every other night elf I encountered ( I was a druid.) It just felt like I had actually entered a world....a world where I could become something by putting in hard work and effort I could matter. In the real world I can't just go out and start accomplishing things and becoming stronger. Real life to me felt mundane and just boring but this new world felt fresh and exciting. Sadly that feeling isn't there for me anymore. Whenever I fire up a new mmo...its all the same to me. Basically every game just feels like its the same thing reskinned I don't feel like I am part of a world anymore just that I am a member to an mmo. This was bothering me one of my most loved hobbies one that had changed my life completly was becoming drull and boring. So I started to think how could game designers bring back the Life to mmo's. And I think I have a pretty good idea how. Instead of game designers trying to make the next great mmo...why don't they try to make an actual world. How great if the mmo genre evolved into the wold simulator genre. Basically what I am saying is that instead of making zone a b and c why not make a giant map. A giant world fill everything in it with love and purpose hide secrets everywhere. Make people want to go out and find stuff. Don't just give people a grind leveling in my mind might be dead in a sense. I think once people have leveled enough in any mmo they are not going to want to do it again. So why not entice people in different ways to go explore your worlds. Hide super powerful weapons all throughout your virtual world. Then players will have something to pvp over and something to pve for. This could be done with everything. Make people want to see your world and the love you put into it. Don't just make zone a b and c then through an end game raid with some pvp tacked on...I know these devs want to really give us something to play and I am sure they want to flex there creative muscles so I am saying do it give us back our love for massive world...give us back our love for mmo's.

Dragonica Online Part 2

Alright well after some play time with the game a couple of hourse actually I have a pretty loose opinion on the game. The artwork on the game I love it has a very final fantasy crystal chronicles feel to it wich I personally enjoy. Ofcourse I know a lot of people wouldn't enjoy that though so art direction in this game will probally cut out about half the player base. Combat and movement is solid it feels natural and what not a bit strange at first moving with the arrow keys instead of the standard wasd that I am use to. The game has four classes wich are your generics Warrior,Thief,Mage,and Archer. I played a warrior he got some pretty cool abilities such as knocking people in the air and bringing them down to the ground. The game is pretty much setup on linear progession its divided into town maps,field maps,and mission maps. The field map is your normal are where you go to hunt monsters and find quest items and what not. But the mission maps are interesting they are instances that you or you group can go into and they seem to be placed all over field maps. Once you go up to the mission map portal it will ask you to press z to enter. Once you hit z a menu will come up that will ask you what difficulty you want to select. On the missions I did there were 4 difficulties the 1st one being a solo the last one being a full group with the two middles being somewhere inbetween. Once I entered the mission it took me to the actual mission map. Now the map was just a simple straight run with a bunch of mobs to kill. It has a number on the right side of the screen that tells you how many monsters you need to kill to progress to the boss. Once you kill the monsters you get ported to the boss room. In the boss room you fight pretty much a bigger version of the normal mobs. He is pretty tough with a bunch of special attacks. He has a giant health bar that shows up on the top of your screen. I like how they added that it makes the fight feel a bit more epic I guess seeing the bosses hp bar stretched longer then ordinary mobs. Anyway the stats and everything else are pretty much the same as what you would find in any other games. The game does have a certain charm the im sure niche group of people will like but it just didn't hook me. Especially not coming fresh of aion and champions online betas. I don't think I will be playing Dragonica but it was a good attempt and probally one of the best side scrolling mmorpgs out there to date...but why would someone want to play a 2d mmo when there are perfectly good 3d ones.

Dragonica Online

Downloading it now as I play I will keep this post updated on how I like the game and what not. I wouldn't call this a full review just my take on the game and stuff. I think I will start doing this with new games so if anyone has any request for games they want me to write about just email them to me and I will do it. Preferably games on the pc with trials or f2p. I will also be doing major releases such as Aion and Champions. I know there are tons of blogs like this but its what I am interested in it so I shall write about it. :)

August 22nd

So today hmm what happened today. Well I went to my girlfriends best friends house we had fun there smoking and chilling. Then we went to beccas for a bit and I came home. Becca had a pretty sweet guitar I liked it alot. I have a new habit I guess I can't see an instrument without getting the urge to pick it up and play it no matter what kind of instrument I always just feel the need to try it but anyway thats not to bad I guess since it gets the creative juices flowing. I got alot of negative responses from a forum about my blog people telling me to take it off and what not because its not entertaining and what not. But I mean in my first post I clearly said that I was trying to get my thoughts and emotions out now try to entertain people oh well though. I need to figure out a way to get into an online blogging community or something well guess I will go scower the forums now.
