Opps been a bit Lax... Ok I lied I've been rubbish. Truth is I've been a bit preoccupied playing Vanguard Saga of Heroes. The game has finally been released and you know it's not at all bad. Like most MMOs it's launched with a few quirks but it runs rather nicely on my ageing system (P4 2.53GHz, 1Gb RAM, x800AGP card). This is a good thing as it means I can put off upgrading for a little bit while I wait to see what AMD are going to offer Dx10 wise (and let Vista bed in before I give in to the inevitable).
Anyway, I digress, I'd just like to let you know the game is a whole lot o fun. I'm particularly taken with the diplomacy gaming sphere right now. It's very simple yet marvellously addictive card game that really adds a little extra to what can be a bit of a vanilla genre. In another nice little feature you can follow my halting progress here, as you can see I'm not big on combat right now :D Not that it isn't fun, but I'm on an RP server playing with my Fiancée, until we can share XP when she is off line (also a feature) I'm only clobbering things when she is there with me.
Other schtuffs in the pipes includes a visit to Star Wars Celebration Europe where we're going to be unashamedly geeky for a few days. I'm already looking forward to it months ahead of time and I'm really hoping we'll get a sneak peak at the forthcoming TV series at the convention.
Last but not least I'd like to finish up on a big thank you to Jim Burgess, the author of the excellent Able and Baker. I recently ordered a fine Quincy T-shirt from him and not only did I get it pretty quickly I was really pleased to get the unexpected bonus of a little sketch of Able and a little message included too! Cheers Jim!
