Blogging 101 Week 2

I am still continuing with "Blogging 101", but it was more behind the scenes at the beginning of last week. I went through our "About" page, but most of it was still accurate, so there weren't too many changes. I did add a text widget in the blog's sidebar with a link to said page, …

Me and my Mini-Mes…

After I had written about the online game I've been playing the longest, I figured I should "revisit" all my MMO characters. Mentioned and shown below are only the ones I called my "main" in games that I have played for more than one month. I couldn't possibly list and show all the twinks and …

GW2: Customize with dyes

Tenedra’s Yule Outfit

I saw this Yule outfit on Cosmetic Lotro yesterday and wanted to have it, too! Unfortunately, my tailor doesn't have the Forochel reputation yet and I haven't so far found anybody to make it for me (our server's AH is always rather empty, too - is that normal or is it just our server? We're …

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (November 4, 2011)

Welcome to today’s Bookahneer’s Geekwatch! The place about LotRO, Guild Wars 2 and any other interesting news related to gaming. Today, I'm starting with two pieces of bad news.
