Asshat or PvPer: Which will Warhammer Online have?

Posted on July 9, 2008 by SynCaine

One year of blogging done, and what a year it has been!

Posted on June 25, 2008 by SynCaine

It’s been a year already? I initially started blogging for what I believe is the most common reason: to have a place to keep all my thoughts and ideas about gaming in one place. What originally started as just ‘something … Continue reading →
