I play an Assassin in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Right now I am level 37 on the Scourge server. I would be a much higher level if the assassin didn’t have so many weaknesses, which is what this post will focus upon. There are many good aspects of the class as well, don’t get me wrong. I have fun or I would have rerolled a long time ago. Continue reading ‘The Assassin of Nothing?’

After the launch of every game there are always bugs and imbalances that evidently slipped through the cracks of the testing process. You could attribute this to the terrible open beta but there was still a closed beta for the developers to weed out the bugs. As in most cases, this was probably just oversight by Funcom because no company likes to really listen to its user base. Continue reading ‘Age of Conan’s First Class Buffs’
The Fatality is a mythical finisher in Age of Conan that invokes great pleasure in my eye and another place that I don’t want to talk about as this isn’t that type of blog. Back to the post! To further define the fatality, they are are certain moves a player is able to do to finish off an enemy. Fatalities in Age of Conan consist of decapitations, neck breaking, and various other actions, based on player class. I have included several screen shots that show some of the fatalities that you see when you are playing the assassin class. Gore alert! Continue reading ‘Age of Conan: The Fatality!’
A few weeks back, I wrote an article about the Age of Conan fiasco (Read First Impresssions: Age of Conan). Now that the game has been released and they have fixed many of my gripes about the game I figured it was time to take a look at reasons why I actually like the game now!
This is my first Wordpress theme that I have ever made. I origionally planned to use it on Aonxe.com but I didn’t love what I made so I decided to release it as a free wordpress theme. I was inspired by problogger.net’s layout and coincidentally, their color sheme as well. I guess sometimes that’s just the way the color scheme generator plays with you.

There are many ways to play video games and each have their own benefits and drawbacks. I happen to be a PC gamer just because it is easier to play games on the computer for me as the computer is where I work, but I also understand the importance of console game systems. Consoles always seem to have a more planned out story line and they each offer something special. Continue reading ‘My take on Console vs PC Gaming’
While reading some blogs on money, I came across this article about how paypal is so profitable. I found out some things that made me see exactly how greedy they are. First, all of the money that runs through paypal and eBay is stored in a bank account, a bank account that they get interest on, which is probably an enormous amount. Secondly, the fees. They take fees on top of taking all the interest that they make off of your money, greedy isn’t it? This isn’t a paypal bashing post so I should stop before I get going on their total lack of seller protection.
Now it’s time to get back on track. This post is supposed to be about this new online money transfer service I found called Revolution Money Exchange or RME as I will refer to it throughout this article. RME is a service like paypal in many aspects, but it is so much different from paypal at the same time. Continue reading ‘Finally, an alternative to paypal.’
