- My take On Dungeons & Dragons Online
07/25/06 10:18 AM
- Having come from a graphically inferior game (Ultima Online) any game today would be considered better, right? Well, that is not always the case. I have played games as beautifully drawn as Lineage 2, Dark Age of Camelot whose graphics are pleasing to the eye, and something that had decent graphics and unlimited (re)playability in Neverwinter Nights 1 (no, not the AOL version). What keeps me playing is content. Prior to the Age of Shadows expansion, Ultima Online had the deepest content of any game. Unfortunately, Electronic Arts saw fit to make the game about players who can dedicate more hours to a game than I was willing to give it anymore. On top of that the changes were so much that I decided I wasn’t ready to adapt anymore. Currently, my game of choice has been World of Warcraft (WoW). It has so much content sometimes I have to decide between crafting, finishing a quest, working on Reputation, or simply cleaning out items and shopping for other characters (I will admit that UO, at its peak, still had the deepest content of any game). Many players have complained that World of Warcraft holds the player’s hand way too much. Personally, it’s the best game out there for me. Its fun and I can get on for an hour and just do … stuff. That “stuff” can be crafting, finishing a quest, grinding a mob, or even participating in a high end dungeon crawl (such as the one infamously known as the “45 Min Baron Run”). Even so WoW can lose a bit of its luster and I have been looking at many games that are to be (or already have been) released to find something to find further enjoyment. I still wish I had my old Log Cabin though…I digress.
Dungeons & Dragons was my first roleplaying experience. I began playing with the “Red Book” set of rules. My first Dungeon Master Rudolpho was good at officiating the game’s rules AND providing fun and interesting game play. I eventually moved on to AD&D 2nd Edition (which were, to me, the glory years of Pen & Pencil Roleplaying). 3rd Edition+ rules are all fun and much easier to use and understand, but today’s single book releases (expansions) are nothing compared to the boxed sets available for the 2nd Edition version of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D).
My first introduction to online gaming was through Diablo, although you wouldn’t consider that true online roleplaying. Diablo was Doom with prettier graphics and good gameplay attempting to complet...

- UK Firm offers Limited Edition Dungeon and Dragons Online laptop
04/27/06 01:18 PM
- Rock Direct a UK based laptop manufacturer is offering a limited run of 100 Dungeon and Dragon's Online laptops. The Pegasus 650 is billed as "the ultimate mobile gaming laptop." The lid is covered with a version of the DDO game box's cover art - a party of hapless adventurers bravely defending against an attacking red dragon.
Machine specifications are pretty good. Based on the Intel Pentium M chip it comes in 1.86ghz, 2.0, 2.13, and 2.26ghz versions. Other upgrades include bumping the 512MB of Ram to 2GB, and the 80GB hard drive to a respectable 160GB (only 5400rpm though,) and if you wish to replace the onboard ATI X700 with an nVidia 6600 you can do that too.
Normally these machines come with a lid that is "hand painted with multiple layers of the highest quality automotive paint. This is followed by four layers of crystal coat which is then baked, wet-sanded, polished, waxed and buffed. Resulting in a clean, smooth and utterly beautiful finish." Normal color choices include Bad Boy Black Metallic, Diablo Red Metallic, Estoril Blue Metallic, Chameleon Blue/Green Metallic, Matt Silver, and boringly named "Pink."
If any of you US people succeed in ordering one, we'd love to see pictures....
