Well, as is often the case, even though I had lots of free time, I didn’t get to do everything I had hoped to do during my “free time.” There never seems to be enough hours in the day.
One thing I did accomplish was playing a lot of golf. I got in 45 holes in [...]

Extravaganza #2
June 8th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Gaming
Well, it’s strawberry time, which means that the buttonWife packs up the kids and heads to her parents house to help out at the strawberry patch, leaving the buttonMasher with a weekend of free time. It’s not as much time as last year, but it’s cherished alone time nonetheless.
The schedule is already filling up, with [...]

EVE Online, 90 days later
May 30th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Gaming
I’ve been meaning to start a new thing here at buttonmashing.com where I expound on my initial impressions. I’ve posted a lot of “first impressions” but I don’t follow up as often as I want to. Often, those initial impressions are the “honeymoon” stage and you look past flaws. Now that I’ve been well past [...]

Back from the dead
May 16th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Gaming
I have returned from my long weekend of family visits and no internet. As I’m sure you’ve heard before, disconnecting for a while feels great. I didn’t completely disconnect, though. I took my Xbox to the in-laws since the brother-in-law loves NCAA Football and his wife loves Burnout 3. He also had never experienced the [...]

So you died? Well you have a Clone Grade Iota at Hulm VIII – Moon 2 – Republic University School Station. Enjoy your afterlife.
Yeah, so this is the cute little EVE Mail message I’ve sent to myself after I was podded (killed while trying to flee in my escape pod). How quaint.
EVE had seemed [...]

What I’m playing
March 29th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Gaming
I’ve been pretty busy lately and it’s been cutting into my gaming time. We traveled home to my parents house this past weekend for the buttonSon’s first birthday and we’ll be heading to the button-In-Laws this weekend. What’s a gamer to do when he’s busy and on the road? What games should he play? That’s [...]
Some thoughts…
March 21st, 2006 · 3 Comments · Gaming
I know blogging has been light lately, but RL keeps getting in the way. I’d like to say gaming has kept me away but sadly that isn’t the case. Gaming has been limited to EVE lately, with an occasional Animal Crossing break.
Even with the lack of blogging, I wanted to post a few thoughts I’ve [...]
EVE and me
March 18th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Gaming
[EVE-Online] My current gaming time has been monopolized by EVE-Online. EVE is going good. I lost my first two ships the other night (thank goodness for insurance!). I took on a mission that I wasn’t ready for and I paid the price. Literally. I had to rescue some kidnapped VIPs from a rogue group of [...]

Daddy’s got a new ship
March 10th, 2006 · 6 Comments · Gaming
Well, I’m still learning things the hard way. I’m not exactly sure purchasing a new ship (A Minmatar Wreathe) was exactly the smartest thing to do. It was the old “spend money to make money” situation, but I spent money to get money that was initially mine. Either way, this new ship is a beast. [...]

Auto Assault
March 8th, 2006 · 11 Comments · Gaming
Has anyone played this yet? I received a Beta Code, but having just started up EVE, I don’t know if I have time to try another MMOG or not. I’ve been interested in Auto Assault for a while, so I may still give it a try, but I wanted to hear if any of you [...]
