I finally broke down and ordered Gamespot Complete. I have been visiting Gamespot for the reviews/news/cheats/walkthroughs now for oh 3+ years or so now. I've never really been one to be active on the message boards but lately I've been finding myself much more active on them. Whats really funny is over the years I think I've probably had 3 or 4 different login names to Gamespot (One of them being "Frek" but I no longer have the email account under which I signed up for that account and hence have to use "therealFrek" now, bleh).

I really like this journal thing and I plan to use it at least once a week to sorta blog whats been going on in my gaming world.

I pre-ordered Stronghold 2 this week. After reading the previews and watching all the videos on the gamespace this is a game that has really intriqued me. Once I get some real time to play it sometime next week I plan to write up a full review of it.

Besides that I'm still playing DAOC on the Palomides server. My druid named "FreK" has managed to climb his way to RR9. After 3 years of playing that game I can't believe I still find it fun to play. I will comment though that I think DAOC has "the" most boring PVE of any online game I can think of. The only thing that keeps me playing is the friends I have made online and the RVR part of the game. It is alot of fun to run a small group with a regular set of people.
