Still plugging through Dragon Age Origins.
You know I still remember how my first playthrough of Dragon Age Origins turned out: My City Elf Rogue ended the game and decided to head off to further adventures accompanied by his romantic interest, Liliana, and tagalong Zevran.
I don't know about you but there's a road/buddy movie in there somewhere...

Re-Enter the Dragon
Now that I've been saddled with a temperamental internet connection, I have become disillusioned with the MMORPG thing so I've found my interest slowly drifting to someplace else.
The someplace else has, strangely, been revisiting an old friend: Dragon Age. But on the Xbox 360. No, I'm talking about the PC edition and a heavily modded PC version at that (that and playing Dragon Age Origins again is preparation for Inquisition).
Playing this though has been mind-blowing to say the least: The controls are better, the graphics are better and the party AI is better. Okay true much of this may be down to the presence of the mods correcting the mistakes of the original game, but I'm having a blast with the PC version of Dragon Age. So much so, I'm finding it difficult to realise how I ever got by on the 360 version.

Truly no one lives forever
Recently I came across this depressing piece of news: the classic PC games No One Lives Forever will never be re-released on Steam or GoG due to no one knowing who really owns the rights.
I'm disappointed to say the least. I've heard a lot about No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 and I've been eager to play them.
Still, if Warner Bros/Activision/Fox can't make up their minds, at least I can go to eBay, hunt down both games, locate some patches to make them work, then it's my money Warner Bros/Activision/Fox/whoever won't be getting.

Broken Link
In relation to an earlier post about a Legend of Zelda TV series, it now has since been revealed that neither Nintendo or Netflix have such plans.
Meaning there is no LA Legend of Zelda TV series coming and that inane cartoon is pretty much all we're going to get.
Well! Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me Netflix!!!!
Still, maybe it is for the best: Because Link has been, and always will be, a blank slate. He is what the player decides. And having a TV show make that decision will mean that it could never possibly match the expectations of the player(s).

Console-Less
Recently Raptr announced it will cease all support for console games,
With each passing year I've found myself drifting further and further away from the console camp. Indeed, one could say this development could be another step in that direction.

Good news / Bad news
Recently my house was connected to the NBN - this means my internet is now faster than ever!
And that's the good news.
The bad news is that an old cable had to pulled out to make it happen - one that ran around the house. And, ultimately, into my computer. What these means now is that my computer and the NBN router are now at different ends of the house. And on separate floors. Which in turn makes for a internet signal that may not be strong enough to handle matters concerning XBLA and MMORPGs.
And, somehow, dusting off my PS2 suddenly sounds like a very good idea....
