Games!

When I said I'd make another one of these sometime in June, I had no idea it would be June 2009!


5. Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Standard turn-based 4X. 
4. World of Warcraft: MMORPG. Still playing. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be more than level 56 by now, but I guess I've always sucked at levelling.
3. Garry's Mod: Source Engine sandbox construction. Pretty much Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, but you can build contraptions!
2. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade: Sci-Fi RTS. A standard modern RTS, but excellently made to resemble the WH40K tabletop game!
1. Sins of a Solar Empire: 4X RTS Space Opera! (That's like three genres added together >.>) You start with a single planet and must eXplore the nearby galaxy (one or more star systems), eXpand to those planets, eXploit their resources, and eXterminate the enemy! All in real time! And with spaceships and explosions. Can't beat the spaceships and explosions.


Again, if you'd like to try WoW, email me so I can refer you >.>

Happy New Year!

I admit this is a good deal late, but Happy New Year!

My resolution... Haven't thought of one, sorry. Keep ya posted. ^.0

I told my WoW guild I'd post our guild photo here, so here it is:

SPOOOOOOOORE!

Spore, the long-awaited game of evolution from EA/Maxis, has arrived!

But (with EA there's always a but) it unfortunately has some nasty DRM called (you may have heard of it) SecuROM. It's nothing better than spyware. And in addition, you can only install the game 3 times!

Sign the petition to get rid of it!

*SIGH* School begins again.

The Road goes ever on and on.

Just as Life continues in its course. Summer has gone, and the school year has yet again encroached upon us like evil from the deeps.

Yet there is an upside. We shall soon reaffirm our freindships, and start new ones altogether.

Not to mention that quite central thing called Learning.

And whither then? I cannot say.

May you all have a good first day of school!

Oh no! I've been neglecting my blog!

I need some way to avoid forgetting about posting...
I'll make something up.

Well; I've been playing some fun games recently.
I subscribe to a service called GameTap, which lets me download and play any and/or all of the games they have for free as long as I'm subscribed. It's a good deal; they have some great games, and not only obscure indie ones either - although they do have some of those, and they're pretty fun!
($10/mo - http://www.gametap.com)

Some of the games I've been playing on GameTap are:
-Starscape: a fun top-down space game. You have a little space fighter, and you mine minerals and fight aliens to escape from an alternate dimension!
-Sam & Max: This was in my top ten games list back in May... I think it was like #2 or something. Goes really well with saltine crackers.
-Space Empires V: This was also on the top ten, but I probably like it more after playing it some more. It's similar to the Civ series,but in space! Each solar system (or dust cloud or black hole, etc.) is a hex-grid with all sorts of objects- asteroids, stars, planets, the previously mentioned BLACK HOLE... Great game.

I've also gotten back in to World of Warcraft - You know, the massively popular MMORPG (no pun intended)? If you want to try it out, send me an email (wedageeks@gmail.com), and I'll refer you for a 10-day trial (that gets me a free month of play if you buy the game)
($20, then $15/mo - http://www.worldofwarcraft.com)

The End of an Era

Morning dawns on the last day of 7th grade. Summer is coming. FOR A SCHOOL-LESS DAWN! FOR FREEDOM!!!

This has probably been the toughest year of school yet (and I imagine it can only get harder). I hope I don't forget everything I learned over the summer...

Have a Great Summer, everyone!

Help!

I can't think of anything to write about! HALP!
