Epic Spoon

Check out my video game twitter @epicspoon.  It’ll be for achievements, progression, and frustrations on games I’m playing, rather than full thoughts as on the web page.  And I’ll try updating more by playing less WoW.  I love WoW, but I don’t want to be a World of Warcraft blog.  However, I will be making some [...]

I got a message from Shazbot over at Imbacore – it’s another cool blog about gaming.  His focus is on freeware strategy games, multiplayer shooters, and PC tweaks.  If you’re into that kind of thing, give it a shot.

I got a message on BlogCatalog from a fellow blogger, Paranoid Emdroid.  Her blog is about games, from a girl’s perspective.  It’s pretty good, and a great perspective, so I wanted to write a short post about it.  Go, check out her blog.  I added a link to it on the left.

I love my 24-inch iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo), but it sure hates me. When I bought it in December of 2007, it was because I wanted a new gaming machine (I have Windows Vista installed on it, too, which is maybe why it hates me). And for the most part, [...]

I mentioned a while back that I play World of Warcraft (website) on Thursday nights with a group of friends.  Like I said last time, we all have characters that we only play together, and we usually only do instance dungeons.  This is a lot of fun because we get to see all the game’s [...]

I’ve upgraded Epic Spoon to WordPress 2.7.  It seems to have worked.  The admin interface has changed significantly, which is cool for us but doesn’t do much for you.  As always, let me know if something doesn’t work anymore.  But honestly, a well-trained house cat could manage their upgrade process.  Of course, now that I’ve [...]

I’m basically done playing The Sims 2 (website) not because I’ve stopped liking it (I could never stop liking it) but because I have a lot to do lately and I’m taking a break from this type of game until the release of The Sims 3 (website).  But just as I was preparing to quit [...]

 Penny Arcade has had its second annual Dickerdoodle contest.  I’m not sure my entry qualifies because entrants are asked to submit pictures of people making and enjoying Dickerdoodles.  But I favor the abstract, so I made a giant cookie (my hand is in the picture for scale) spraying out the seeds of life.  Or, in this case, [...]

World of Warcraft (website), Blizzard’s world-class multiplayer online game, is best known for the insidious and crippling addition that keeps so many people from doing anything else.  I should know.  It’s happened to me.  And when I broke free of it, I swore, “Never again.” Imagine my surprise when I discovered I’m playing the game [...]
