I've been in a bit of an MMO slump lately. I'm in the WAR beta, but that's just testing, not really playing. I unsubscribed from LoTRO and WoW a couple months back, and I've been out of Eve for 8 or 9 months.

I've been having a blast playing Team Fortress 2, Civ 4, and replaying some Half Life 2, but I miss my MMO's. I miss exploring new worlds, meeting new people, getting lost in a new game.

A Goon Eve-related video: Full of win

I saw this posted on Anders' Eve Pirate blog. Friggin' classic. One of the Goons singing "Let It Be", with Eve lyrics and awesome animation. It's a couple weeks old, so people who keep up with Eve news have probably seen it, but damn, this is win.

Hi y'all. I've been on Gax for quite a while, and I've been listening to MOG even longer. I haven't done much with my profile here because I write the /random blog, and that's where most of my online writing ends up. I don't want to spam Gax by copying and pasting those posts over here, and anyone who reads Brent's news feed over at Virgin Worlds sees… Continue

Northsun, sorry, Gax got lost on my round of stops for a while. I was in the AoC beta, but didn't buy the game. I'm playing the WAR beta right now. Fun stuff!

At 8:46pm on April 29, 2008, Rick said…: Thanks Northsun! Age of Conan's got me excited about mmo's again. I hope it doesn't let me down :)

At 7:09am on April 25, 2008, Rick said…: Nah, I actually just deleted the group. I signed up back when Gary was talking about it on the podcast, but it was painful to play. I need more polish than Entropia and Second Life provide, ya know?

At 6:58am on April 25, 2008, CrazyKinux said…: Thanks for the friendrequest! So, you still playing Entropia?

At 5:04pm on February 7, 2008, Rick said…: WTF, I can't believe I'm trying Entropia Universe. I'm not sure who I'm more annoyed with, the mmorpg industry for being so stale at the moment, or Gary for talking up this dated POS :)
