If MMO’s were girlfriends, I would be one no-good, lousy, uncommitted boyfriend. But I just can’t do it. I can’t commit. I try my darnedest to do my part: I get excited about patches and expansions. I join guilds and get involved in the community. I drag my friends into the game with me. And [...]

Traveling in Everquest 2
May 31st, 2007 · 7 Comments · Gaming
I haven’t posted a lot about Everquest 2 lately, but after reading some recent posts about how good Everquest 2 is becoming recently and all the fun other bloggers are having with the game, I have found myself playing EQ2 quite a bit lately.
I recently dinged thirty and decided it was time to find some [...]

Everquest 2 – First Impressions
February 20th, 2007 · 7 Comments · Gaming
I’ve spent about 5+ hours with Everquest 2, so before I jump back into another session, I thought I’d share a few thoughts of my first experiences with the game.
First, a little history of how I play MMOGs. When I play a new game, I jump into the game blindly. I don’t read FAQs, player [...]

To EVE or EQ2?
February 13th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Gaming
Recently I’ve had the itch to jump back into a MMOG. I’m been thinking of re-upping to play EVE Online, but with all the things going on there, I’m hesitant to jump back in. I’ve got a free copy of Everquest 2 that I could use to try out EQ2. My first MMO experience was [...]

Virtual Tours?
February 12th, 2007 · No Comments · Asides, Gaming
This might be a bit old, but I just recently came across it: Synthravels -The 1st online Virtual Travel Agency. They can take you on a tour of the most picturesque places in cyberspace!
Personally, I’d like to go to somewhere real, like Machu Picchu. But that’s just me.

Yikes
October 23rd, 2006 · 8 Comments · Gaming
The concept of the “Everquest Widow” is nothing new. Sure, World of Warcraft has been more successful than Everquest, and yes, there are “WoW widows” but it’s nothing new. A couple days ago, a post on Soul Kerfuffle was making the rounds last week, about a guy and his year in World of Warcraft. He [...]
Ultimate Baseball Online – First Impressions
July 30th, 2006 · 35 Comments · Gaming, Sports
Even though I mentioned that I had downloaded Ultimate Baseball Online months ago, it wasn’t until this weekend that I actually had a chance to play it. I must admit, though, that I haven’t played a video baseball game in a long time. I think I played a little MVP 2003, but that was only [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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. [...]
