Full Day Thursdays seem to be my longest days of the week. Luckily, the weekends are never too far =) Today was the first session meeting of gameCODE. After a summer hiatus, this meeting was essentially to introduce new faces and to bring people up to date with what others have been doing over theContinue reading “Full Day Thursdays seem to be my longest days o…”

Horizons’ Fate Just a few months ago, Alen and I had stumbled into the world of Istaria, feeling quite elated that we had found a new MMO that we could enjoy together. Since we were no longer able to sustain our playing hours (or interest in Alen’s case) with EverQuest, the play style and tradeskillContinue reading “Horizons’ Fate Just a few months ago, Alen and …”

Personal Victory After a long and stressfull battle with university administration, i have been accepted into the Honour’s program. Although i did not fit the academic standards of an honour’s student, i am being rewarded for determination. Over the years, i had come to terms with the fact that i would rather struggle through aContinue reading “Personal Victory After a long and stressfull ba…”

First Day of School And my head hurts already! It was relatively uneventful since the professors figure people are still ‘shopping’ for classes, they don’t often jump right into the lecture. This fall semester might be an interesting one all things considered. With a course on occupations & identity – hoping that this will tieContinue reading “First Day of School And my head hurts already! …”

Been doing alot of work though, and have alot of notes to post here over the next week or two. Slowly getting backContinue reading “Summer Hiatus Been a while since I last posted,…”

Reflections of Espen Aarseth’s “CyberText: Perspectives on Ergodic Literature” The book appears to bear two distinct sections, theory and practical. The writing style of each section differs to the point that it almost feels like two completely different articles within one book. The first portion of the book is quite technical, outlining the history ofContinue reading “Reflections of Espen Aarseth’s "CyberText: Perspec…”

Reinventing the Wheel It seems that with every game that comes out (in context of MMO’s) it appears to be nothing more then a snippet of one game added to another snippet of another game to reinvent the [everquest] wheel. Every online game has had their sights on repeating the success that EQ managed toContinue reading “Reinventing the Wheel It seems that with every …”

Intermittent Postings The last few weeks have been intermittent at best with my content – and for that i am sorry. Been taking summer classes which are condensed and doesnt leave me with much time to actually contemplate the information i was learning. Last exam is this afternoon, and then i get to dive intoContinue reading “Intermittent Postings The last few weeks have b…”

Off Topic Usually, I use this space to jabber with myself and the few people that read this space, but i want to take a minute to plug a very great company that i have had the pleasure of dealing with. Tribalectic is a great body piercing / jewelry site. I ordered from them recentlyContinue reading “Off Topic Usually, I use this space to jabber w…”
