The good ol’ days

I miss the days of yore when servers were their own small communities where players that stole, were obnoxious, etc. were black-listed and lived the life of a recluse or had to reroll elsewhere.  This shift to mega-servers and cross-realm grouping means those people have nothing to fear, and as such in games like WoW I’ve watched them go from servers that were real communities to games where there’s no incentive to care for other players and it shows.

Not every advancement forward is a good thing.  This shift in gaming is one of those.

Like DnD, what’s not to love?

If you enjoy a good action movie, see Dredd

Yes, I understand movies aren’t really the focus of this blog (or rather, weren’t… things be a-changin’).  However, having just got home from seeing Dredd what I care more about these days are relating experiences where I actually enjoyed myself.  Sadly, those have been few and far between for a long time.

Dredd was well done, entertaining, and above all fun.  That’s worth blogging about.

Simple things can be really enjoyable when done right.  The problem is, they rarely are.  Dredd is ultimately a simple action movie that’s just really well done.

Third time’s the charm…
