Gaming and Exercise Don't Mix
I'm really bored right now... I miss playing WoW. I may reinstall it when the the Lich King expansion comes out. In the mean time, I'm trying to find a good, free MMO to play. I've tried dozens and they all suck for one reason or another. The most important thing I want in an MMO is good movement. I don't want have to click on the floor to move. I want a good camera movement. Most MMO's I find were originally Asian based and have crappy ways of moving or the field of vision is terrible. I just want to be able to see all around me and be able to move with my arrow keys. The only other thing that I want is to be able to level without wasting time grinding for days. Plus, it seems that most games aren't compatible with Vista yet. I wish they'd hurry up with it!
I could buy a console, but they're super expensive and tend to become obsolete quickly when a different, updated console is released. I'd love to own a nintendo again... those things are so awesome. Or maybe go and buy a PS1. Those were the good old days.
It's becoming hotter here. The temperature is going to reach around 96 F (35 C) today. It's getting harder to walk because it's so hot. Maybe I'll get a gym membership. I think there's a gym across the street from my neighborhood... I could just walk right across the road. I just prefer to be outside rather than inside, but I figure... if I'll be cooler inside a gym, then I'll be able to walk more. I just like being by myself to think and enjoy nature rather than be inside with a bunch of sweaty, smelly people. Oh well.

.Hack//Roots
I just finished watching all 26 episodes of .Hack//Roots. This is the latest anime series based on the Bandi multi-media franchise, .Hack . I can express how I feel about the show succinctly.
It was a total mess. No continuity, no resolution, no comprehensability. It starts as a team story, as the five members of the Twilight Brigade search for the fabled Key of Twilight. QUICKLY, the fellowship is broken, leaving us to follow the two LEAST-interesting members as they flail about in angst. New characters show up, drop out, and interact with no rhyme or reason. At the end, only two story threads manage to resolve, in unfulfilling ways. Everything else is left hanging.
Now, .Hack is SUPPOSED to be a multi-media experience. Bandai wants me to read the books, play the games, and trawl the websites. I get that, and I'm still disappointed. It's also possible that the value in .Hack//Roots (which isn't the 'roots' of anything, by the way) lies in the treatment of real MMORPG concepts, like player-killing and Real Money Trading. If so, I'm not the target audience, since I'm well beyond the rather basic treatment they give these concepts.
Ultimately, I'm disappointed because the first five episodes promise a sense of wonder and mystery that is dropped like a hot rock in the rest of the series. I kept watching for it to come back; it never did. Grrr.

Dungeon Runners
Dungeon Runner's Review
At first I thought that NCSoft (makers of Guild Wars, Lineage, City of Heroes) was trying to create a WOW killer with Dungeon Runner but I was way off of what they intended for this game. D.R. is the Monty Python's Holy Grail of Diablo style/MMO like games. It's a completely tongue in cheek, over-the-top, outlandish game that pokes fun at the fantasy MMO genre at large. It's a very simple game with lots of mindless fun. D.R. is 100% about dungeon crawling, killing hordes of mobs and collecting uber gear. How is that different from any other MMO/diablo? Where else can you get an Agitated Rusty Scale Headgear of the Penguin at level 3? You start collecting uber/hilarious gear at level 1 and you'll find yourself excitedly waiting for the next drop just to look at the name. The weapons are gigantic (would make Cloud cry) as in several size larger than your toon and the armor stats are as long as the name. My current uber weapon is the Toxic Cardboard Orok Axe from the Swingin' Ghetto and it does 16-114 damage +6 Strength +6 Endurance +17 Defense +17 Melee +5 Poison damage....I'm level 6. This game feeds the Munchin in you and has you clicking on the screen like a wild banshee on crack. It's a point n' click style game and the simplicity is an very endearing quality in this hack n' slash. It makes grinding fun again.
D.R. also gives you complete freedom to do whatever you want to your character like duel wield single handed weapons, turn your fighter into a mage or use any gear you want (fighter, ranged or mage) it lets you build a free form character to your liking.
The graphics are pretty (looks like an updated WarcraftIII/WOW), the gameplay is diablo like and it has the normal aspects of a MMO like community town/chat/friends list/the ability to form parties. The dungeons are instances so no aggravating griefers to deal with. The voice acting is hilarious my 2 favorites being my storage npc who talks like Sean Connery and a fat merchant that sounds like the beloved Scottish villain in the Austin Powers movies. Best of all you can play D.R. for free (limited to low end items/limited storage) but if you do upgrade you get access to all the best gear and you get extra storage for $4.99 a month. This game makes a great companion for any MMO player as it is a great escape from the normal grind. It is limited in a lot of ways like character creation and currently only has 1 town and 1 village (rest of the game dungeon) but all limitations aside it is a fun game with addictive gameplay for those looking for a not so serious world. So if you have always dreamed of dawning the Lethal Baby Seal Skin Cap of the Newt or fire the Inflicted Cardboard Repeating Crossbow of the Sugar Glider then this game is for you and stay away from my Auto-targeting Shining Scale of the Inclusive Penguin pauldons man...get your own!!!

New Game
Dungeon Runners is a new game coming out from NCsoft that will be free to play but with the purchase of a membership you get more access to higher level content. It will be interesting to see how this will work. They broke the MMO model with Guild Wars (buy the software, no monthly fee), we will see what they have come up with now. At first glance the style looks very much like Word of Warcraft and normally I would just right it off as a cheap copy but being a long time NCsoft player I know they are a very creative group so they will get a chance to make a first impression.
