It all started playing pong with my dad. I remember my parents having drunk parties with all their friends gathered around an Intellivision playing Burgertime. The first thing I ever actually "saved up" my own money to buy was a Nintendo and I remember many many late nights huddled around a little TV in my room with the volume all the way down so my parents wouldn't hear me, leading Mario through his adventures.

I guess video games, or gaming in general as I also played board games, table-top RPGS, you name it, have always been a part of my life.

These days I play MMO's pretty much 100% of the time, although the Wii sneaks some of my time as well.

OK. It’s been a week. I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “What the FUCK Castillion? Where’s the fucking post? Have you even PLAYED the new expansion? WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK MAN?”First off, calm down.Secondly, yes I have played a bit, although not as much as I would have liked. continue reading...

I will be one of the noobs asking how to zone into the new zones.

Here I am at work. Sinnir is at home happily exploring the new expansion, riding around on her new mount, sending me text messages telling me how cool everything is. What.The.Hell. I hope she enjoys rubbing it in my face because I get to play tonight while she’s at work... continue reading...

One of my guildmates has been recording our raids and posting them to youtube. For your viewing pleasure: continue reading...

Does it count as a date if I invite you to the group?

Allright, so who the hell decided to release the expansion so near to Valentine’s day? This is either SOE’s attempt to break up relationships so poor single schlubs have more time to play EQ2, or it’s the single greatest moment of planning in the history of gaming. continue reading...

On an unrelated note, I like beer.

Real life kicked my ass this weekend between a sick wife, 14 hours of work scheduled, and the Superbowl. I still don’t understand the thought behind planning a change that goes from 10 PM on Saturday until 4 PM on Sunday on Superbowl weekend, then again, ’tis not for me... continue reading...

Stuck on that whole lottery thing.

I’m here and here’s the happenings!I was able to raid again on Friday. the guild started out with Munzok’s Material Bastion, but h-o-l-y hell the lag in that zone was unbearable. I guess there was an issue with our special quest reward earring that SOE has since patched. continue reading...

Old Castillion had a farm and wishes he could pay someone to harvest it.

Finally! I got a little time to play this week.Wednesday I had a short window of time and was able to run Emperor’s Athenaeum in Jarsath Wastes. As I’ve mentioned before, I really think this is a neat zone. I’m still enjoying it and the last fight is still cool as hell. continue reading...

I haven’t played yet this week, just been too busy. I also won’t be able to raid on Friday as I am scheduled to work, so this is going to be a pretty quiet week I guess. I’m a little bummed as all I’ve really wanted to do this week is turn the... continue reading...

I said no green M&Ms.

I was wrong about this weekend in my last post. It ended up being a rather slow, albeit productive, weekend of gaming.It started on Friday, and as I mentioned previously, it was my big comeback to raiding. continue reading...

I was just auto attacking, I swear.

It seems like complaining on my blogs has it’s benefits. You know that range item I bitched about losing in my last post? We we were back in Kurns Tower x2 last night, and Sir Rouland dropped it again, and I won it! The Gem of Emptiness and it is super hot,... continue reading...
