The only thing being updated on this site with any regularity is the word press software it seems. If only writing out a chunk of text were as easy as pushing the update button on the wordpress dashboard.

In the intervening time between posts I’ve played a few games both on and offline. Had a wonderful Star Wars the Old Republic renaissance for a few months after their last big expansion. The best part about that game and many others is playing with friends and once they grow tired of it, it isn’t long after that I put it back on the shelf myself. SWtoR just announced yet another major expansion release for later this year so I’ll likely check that out again since I enjoy it so much. This time they’ll be focused a lot more on the story so hopefully it will hold my interest as a solo player long enough to see it through.

I’ve just recently jumped in to the world of the MOBA or multiplayer online battle arena with a new release from Blizzard called Heroes of the Storm. Its basically a somewhat scaled down version of Diablo 3 but only the player versus player aspects. It features some great characters from across all their properties so you have plenty to choose from when it comes to picking your hero. I’ve been slowly collecting all the Diablo heroes since that’s been my favorite franchise of theirs for as long as I can remember. People say its not near as complex or as deep as League of Legends but unfortunately I can’t compare the two since I’ve barely even logged on to a game of League of Legends despite its immense popularity.

As for offline related activities we had a small push of regular game design early in the year but it has fallen off quite rapidly sad to say due to other things coming up. The summers are always hard for bro gatherings because everyone is generally pretty busy, but hopefully that will turn around again soon.

Might check out Tokyo in Tulsa this month, Wizard World in Oct and BGGCON in November. Its a con-tastic year!
