Meet my baby champion 
She is now level 33 and I thought she deserved a new outfit. I had found the legs whilst questing on Eldaeriel and loved them, although I wasn’t sure on who or how to use them. I also haven’t found a perfect match with the jacket but I think it looks good enough. I don’t usually use bright colours but if anyone is going to wear red, its going to be a champion surely?!

I found this rather nice tapestry in the Library of Steel (solo instance needing an infused adamant, obtained from Mundeirr, Dolven-View). I wonder if it could show the Lonely Mountain in the background, possibly with Lake-Town directly behind the dwarf. Hmm… any ideas?

CNN’s Geek Out blog has a new article out today called “The migratory patterns of MMO gamers”. In the article the author, Nikki Rau-Baker, talks about the pattern of MMO players to leave their game to try another game.
The article speaks on a couple games but LOTRO is a bit more prominent as it is something that the author is familiar with and plays herself.

ooh matron indeed
I originally did this for our guild website but it makes me laugh so much I thought I’d share it here. We went into deep delvings for a class quest update and came upon the end boss. He really made us laugh because he stands there swinging his hammer as though it was a handbag

as we’ve all been struck down with the lurgy and the littlun is showing signs of chicken pox I’ve been retreating into Skyrim of an evening, to transport myself away from miserable January. Plus being able to quicksave and pause makes life much much easier at the moment
I did pop onto lotro last night and bankrupted myself buying a worn symbol to forge a second age bow (yayyay!) I got fairly crappy legacies on it which was… crappy 
nevermind, I have the legacies I want on there now and they can be increased. Hopefully we will be able to group up with our friend Aeowulf tonight.
I will have my champion outfit to share soon and hopefully will be back posting regularly soon

Dimzad created this outfit for his rune-keeper and I thought I’d share it with you all. I love the outfit, especially the detailing on the hat.

well after being super-organised and managing to get three posts scheduled to be published while I was away (last week), I’ve now not managed to post at all since I’m back Our toddler is developing his immune system and catching any bug that floats past and he kindly sometimes passes onto us too and there is a backlog of housework/washing/appts/errands to catch up on – which is obviously super-exciting for you lot to read Anyways, should all be settled back down very soon and I’ll be back to posting regularly.

Family
Before I get into what games I’m looking forward to, I wanted to mention some personal and blog related things. My wife and I are expecting our second little Kae to show up sometime in June. I’m sure that’s going to kill any time I have to play MMOs for a few months. I really dislike logging into an MMO, when I don’t know if I’m going to get pulled away at a second’s notice. When my son was born, I focused mostly on single player games, since I could pause it and go do father things without worrying about ruining anyone else’s game.
Not playing MMOs will either mean that this blog goes silent for a few months, or you’ll see tons of posts as I’ll have lots of time to read, think, and write.

Xbox
Last January, I wan’t looking forward to much on the Xbox. In fact, there were just two games: Mass Effect 3 and Batman: Akham City. Unfortunately Mass Effect 3 was delayed, but Akham City more than made up for that. The game had everything I loved about the first Batman game but added improvements, and even though I’ve finished the game, I still pop it into my console occasionally to beat on some thugs.
Outside of Arkham City, my Xbox didn’t get much playtime, which I guess is why it decided to red-ring on me in December. I had hoped by waiting through the first few manufacturing runs and getting an Elite, that I had dogged all of the overheating problems with Microsoft’s console. I was wrong. The repair process was relatively painless: go online and submit a repair request, print out a label, box and ship it out. I just wish it hadn’t cost me $99.
