[ddo] this week

[Mike Kelly]

I missed chunks of this seasons BSG so I've stopped watching and I'm waiting
for it on DVD. Just sharing.

As for the mechanistic aspect of the game, I've noticed it a lot less in
this game than any other MMO, I like the team and tactical aspect of the
game and DDO just allows a lot more character and situational flexibility
than say WoW or DAOC or <Your MMO Here>.

About the 200 line emails, it was a very tough quest, in a wide open area,
which we are unused to, I think it was a great run but I imagine that Conor
had a fairly crappy time (in that his cleric died a lot and he got zip for
the night). We're (I believe) just trying to figure out what we were doing
wrong, clear up some misunderstandings and understand more about peoples
"problems" in the game. I think a lot has been done.

Normally our emails are a lot shorter and contain more waspish insults. :)

If you're on later and up fer it, gimme a shout, I should be on Skype (as
sneetch), otherwise I might just sit on my couch, watch TV and eat pie.
