In the belly of the Whale called work.

Imported from Artagus

Okay, short and sweet. 72 hours a week at work. Eat, sleep, work.

Spore: Single cell organism to Digital Rights Management? (DRM)

Imported from Artagus

Okay it's a rainy Sunday morning and Warhammer Online is soon to open the “Head Start” for CE pre-orders. Which of course leaves me out since I fall into the “SE pre-order Wait until Monday” category, of course launch date is the 18th and for some...

Running down hill with baby Jesus.

Imported from Artagus

Okay, the title may be extreme and I am sure I'll pay for it later but I stumbled across something today that made me just shake my head. There is an Anti Spore Blog. I have read many articles and blogs in the past that have been very brash and o...

Let the games begin.

Imported from Artagus

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning entered Open Beta today and those that have only been able to read others views, can now taste War for themselves. The “roller coaster” ride that everyone gets when reading game info on the NDA lifted, up and com...

Games (Liked and Anticipated)

PREV 5 | 1 - 5 / 19 | NEXT 5 | VIEW ALL

Anarchy Online (PC)

"I only think I played for a month, so my comment is lacking any useful verbiage."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus ..of course

Asheron's Call (PC)

"The component system for spells was kinda cool, but alas Everquest was owning my soul."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus/Rueban

City of Heroes (PC)

"The Best Character creation known. It took me 4 hours to come up with the perfect costume. Still a great game to spend time in."

Server: Champion

Characters:

Joker on Jack, Mutant Defender

Dark Age of Camelot (PC)

"Actually re-subbed twice here. If Everquest had not owned my time I would have stayed around. Still an excellent game."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus

Dungeons and Dragons Online (PC)

"Played this when it first came out and since I never played the board game(believe it or not), I guess I never appreciated it as much. They have changed some things I understand, but just wasn't for me."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus

Eve Online (PC)

"Free trial, god I love free trials. Great game for Space Ghost, but for me I was to dumb to control my ship."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus

Everquest (PC)

"In it's day, it was the magic every fantasy gamer was looking for. We built our lives around this game."

"*poof*"

Guild Wars (PC)

Characters:

Rooster, Ranger

Scion Rathe, Ritualist

Lord of the Rings Online (PC)

"I enjoyed my stay here. The scenery is excellent and pleasing to the eye. I was missing some features in the "Character Creation" options that I have seen in other games. At this point I have found character creation can be secondary."

Server: Nimrodel

Characters:

Artagus, Race Of Man Captain — Weaponsmith

Mapus, Hobbit Hunter — Yeoman

Rueban, Dwarf Guardian — Armorsmith

PlanetSide (PC)

"Great grind fest of carnage and kill, die kill, die, kill, die.....eat lunch, kill, die, kill, die. This is a great game to jump in, grab a squad and hold that spawn point. It is an excellent way to kill a couple of hours."

Guild: The Cabal

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus

Realm Online

"The birth of addiction, met some great people in this game that I still speak with today. allot of great memories and fun times with this game and 50 bucks a year is cheap entertainment."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus

Tabula Rasa (PC)

"This is an excellent game filled with non-stop action. For those ready to hang up the "Sword and Board" and grab an Alien weapon, it has your name written all over it."

Characters & Screen Names: Artagus

Attitude Answers

Q. Where did you get your gaming names from? (Answer!)

A. I have used only 4 names since the beginning of time. I have no idea where they came from, I think in a dream...yes thats it, a dream. next!

Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)

A. Roleplaying games are for those that enjoy a more immersive environment. For those that love to place themselves in an acting role it gives them the freedom to star in their very own Movie. Roleplaying games are the "Cowboy and Indians" that many played as kids.Mr Rogers would be proud of this "Make Believe" .

Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)

A. I am a fan of Anne Rice, so I guess I would create a game based on the Vampire Chronicles. The levels in the game would be more like moments in time rather than actual Number based levels. You begin as a newly turned Vampire in eighteenth century France. The progression in the game would advance you too present day, various Quests from learning about being a Vampire all the way to Faction/Coven wars. At pinnacle moments in your character growth, you would move through the ages of time with new areas and new quests.Lame rip off of LoTR, but still would be a game I would like.

Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)

A. "Kings Quest I: Quest for the Crown" from Sierra on-Line Entertainment.

Q. When you are not playing games, what do you do for fun? (Answer!)

A. ? What else is there ?

Artagus is a Nice Person. Art, sadly, is one of those people I fell out of touch with when I ended up living in Japan for a year. That's been a real shame, because he's a fun, interesting, and all around awesome guy.

MikesterBrau is a Good Leader. Makes everyone feel like they belong. Encouragement and inspiration are not tools but genuine characteristics. Good to see him here.

Vordox is a Nice Person. The Muppets, yes Muppets have a drummer called "Animal" and Vordox is the "Animal" of the MMO community. "WANT GAME ME WANT GAME!" Vord puts his all into whatever game he plays, for his group or Guild.
