Shot Online: Free to Play MMO

If you’re like me, you probably get bored playing the same game day in and day out.  You don’t necessarily want to abandon your favorite game but you want to break the cycle a bit and find a few others to play when that favorite MMO starts feeling more like work than play!  That’s how …



Age of Conan: Crash on Exit

A few patches ago I began getting consistant crashes when exiting AoC asking me to report the error to Funcom. It was annoying but I was pretty much just living with it until I found a fix posted online by Lefty1117 (gotta give props). Basically the problem seems to be caused by right permission on …

Warhammer Online: Oceanic Server

Trying to build on the popularity of WAR in the Oceanic community, EA announced recently that they’ll be hosting a dedicated Oceanic server on mainland Australia.  The server will be available for play to anyone in the world but is primarily designed to offer gamers in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other Southeast Asian territories …

Current Games – COD4

I will delve more into my past gaming experiences in great length a little later, for now I haven’t been doing a ton of gaming thanks to life getting in the way.  I’m not going to complain at all, I recently married a wonderful woman and in the process gained a new addition to the …

GameZig – The Name

I’ve been playing games online since before the internet was a household term.  Guess that kind of ‘dates’ me a bit, but just want to give you an idea of the spectrum of games I’ve played.  I started out with text or ASCII based games on local bulletin boards running on an 300 baud modem.  …
