First, a little vocabulary lesson; if you play MMOGs, you can skip this bit. By “tank” I am not referring to a heavily armored vehicle, except in the metaphorical sense. In World of Warcraft and similar games, the tank is the best-armored person in the group. His or her job is to engage and hold [...]

my security guard is a lava-breathing puppy
I’m a collector. Some are “official,” organized collections (stamps, for instance), but many are de facto collections that occurred when I got one of something and discovered there were more of them, or just started gathering things without really organizing or exploring them in great detail (my coin collection falls into this category). I [...]
level 51 land squid voodoo princess
Good news! There’s another Ninmah. I few days ago Craig put me on to Progress Quest, which is exactly like World of Warcraft, except not quite. For one thing, the interface is much simpler, in the same way that the original Zork is much simpler than Zelda the Wind Waker.
The image here shows the whole [...]
A creative side of gaming
You might not think that playing an MMO (massively multiplayer online [game]) is a creative activity. Given that the world is heavily designed, and animations are scripted, and players can't really customize much in-game, there is a lot of truth to that. Choices for in-game creativity are limited. But many games have a vibrant fan [...]
Runetotem Thursdays!
Several of us in the NMC-guild-to-be have arranged to play together on Thursday nights, from 8-10 pm (Pacific) or so. If that's a good time for you, log in to WoW, create your Alliance character on Runetotem, and whisper Ninmah! We have almost enough people and almost enough gold to make the NMC guild official. [...]
Questing with the luckiest man alice
I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for a little over a year now; I started not long after it came out. I remember when riding over the bridges in Stranglethorn Vale threw you off your mount for no apparent reason. I remember when they took away the buggy boat between Menethil Harbor and Auberdine and [...]
WoW Guild Update
We now have 3 characters, that I know of, on Runetotem (Alliance side), ready to join the guild when it forms. There are lowbies in Goldshire and in Teldrassil, so come level up with us! Let me know if you’re there and I don’t know about it!
My toon, Ninmah, hit level six last night. Woo [...]
World of Warcraft Guild for NMC Members
I know you’re out there. NMC members who play World of Warcraft. It’s time to step forward and admit it. I’m not talking twelve steps here — who wants to quit, right? — I’m talking guild runs, Strat and Scholo and UBRS. You know you want to!
Okay, first we’ll have to get to sixty, but [...]
