My excitement for Modern Warfare 2 has started to wain a little, it’s cause hasn’t been helped by the large percentage of blatant hackers in the game that can’t be reported in any shape or form.

But enough with the old and in with the new, well newish, ok, ok, once were new.
My current play list looks something like this:

• Everquest 2 (14 day trial) — frustratingly XFire isn’t recognising EQ2 so no time is being marked against it. I’m not sure I could face another standard MMO at the moment but the characters are very detailed and i’ve found the none way-pointed missions  lead to more exploration.
• Wizard 101 — Rach and I have been trying out some less resource intensive games that allow us to pick up and play when we get a spare minute. I’m finding the game is scarcely entertaining
• Spellborn — I’ve taken to playing a little Spellborn when I fancy a change of pace. The game delivers something different each time I play.
• Warhammer Online — I’m playing the free Tier one stuff but with multiple builds, mostly to get a  feel for how the classes are designed and how they work with the other player classes.
• Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (On the XBob) — I’ve been having some great fun with this title certainly one to try if you’re a Marvel fan.

Still to come:

• Mass Effect — Everyone is Raving about Mass Effect 2 so I’ve decide to try and get the original game completed first, the only problem is I have to re-install it since my HDD swap.
• Myst online – Hopefully I’ll get back into trying this now free title once more.
• Chaos Rising Dawn of War 2 — looking forward to this expansion when it arrives.

Throw all that into the mix with everything and I find myself struggling to get a blog post writing in a week.

But it’s all good fun

It’s a tweaked version of a downloadable theme by James Barclay (http://everythingisgray.com/), and I find it rather smart and easy going at the same time.

What do you think?

So what’s it all about?
Well primarily I shall be posting about the City Of Heroes/Villains games, a topic as you may have guessed I rather enjoy writing about. I am hoping the new Comic/Hero focused games in development will get some coverage over the year too.

Rather than duplicating the posts on two websites I shall be creating small notifications for welshtroll.co.uk about each new post I make over on Limited Edition.

Wish me luck.

I'm hoping to get back into blogging more frequently but as time is limited it shall be one entry per week for now. Also after a recent patch I noticed that my RSS feeds are broken again, I'll get them sorted asap.

Additionally there is such a wonderful atmosphere in the whole office, something that sadly dissappeared in my previous role and was sorely missed.

So thanks to everyone that supported my efforts in going for this role, a massive step in the right directon for me.

An interresting point was the delay I had between switching version, during those 20 minutes I managed to get four spam comments posted. those bots must be working extra hard over the bank holiday weekend.

For a quick overview of the new reCAPTCHA I've put a quick picture that explains the functionality.

It's been a very busy couple of months with lots going on and I didn't really feel in the mood to write in my blog for reasons explained below.

As of the 29th of February my employment with Lloyds TSB ended after a 9 and half years with my job being offshored. The past 4 months have been very odd and difficult there is something slightly depressing about training someone else to do your job.

So anyway in the next few months I plan to get some things in the house completed, I have lots of training to wade through and hopefully slot some driving lessons and test into the equation when possible, Oh and looking for a new job. Busy me!

I shall be keeping my blog updated a little more too.

So thanks to those that have visited and those that commented in the past year, I hope you'll rejoin me in 2008 for what looks set to be an extremely different year for me.

So in the words of Bill Bailey:
Merry Primary Gifting Period and a happy Auxiliary Generosity Zone.

I have a few posts waiting in the wings, so expect some updates over the next few days.
