Shut Up It’s Saturday Night
Just finished recording Shut Up We’re Talking, and had a great time chatting with Richard, Charlie, and of course, Darren. We talked about social play, and about the issue of fun vs addictive in MMOs. Darren made an interesting comment about AGC, saying that two major themes were about RMT subscription models, and solo/social gameplay. Then he went on to gush about Batman: Arkham Asylum so much that I, monogamous gamer that I am, might actually go out and purchase it. For my husband of course. Anyone that’s played with me knows how poorly I’d do in console games. (Ok, so I can’t get out of the pool in Chelsith, stop laughing!)
Above: The helmet, I can explain. The funky stance, I cannot.
In game, I’ve had fun with the latest EQ2 update. The Shard of Love is a nice low key zone, which is just what I’m looking for lately. The Achievements aren’t something I’ve ever been into, but it gives a little more incentive to go back and do older content. The automentoring is really nice though, because it allows us to revisit old zones without having to pluck out someone of the right level to mentor to. Now how about putting in a Buffbot to boost the level of new players, so they can jump right in and play with the general population?
I also am trying to get into this whole Twitter thing. If Kanye can do it, so can I, right? So if you have a Twitter account, and want to follow my insightful commentary, click over on the little link on the right. I got a new follower today, /wave SuccessWallpapers, so now I’m up to 24 I think. Keep em coming please!

It was a blast hanging out with you all, even if I felt just a bit intimidated and nervous. I’d love to do it again if y’all ever have an opening you need to fill. I need practice LOL.
Ya know, Batman is on the PC as well, so that might help you… er, your husband out a bit.
As to Twitter, it’s an acquired taste. There’s so many mass-followers out there that are advertising their websites or products, then the spambots that are trying to sell you things like gold for WoW, or porn. It’s sort of the wild west at times. SucessWallpapers sounds pretty benign though.

That you for picking Epic Slant as your blog of the week! I’m glad you enjoyed the articles about guild leadership. That really is my focus and I hope to provide at least something useful to the community with it!
