University Beckons
So I've successively ganed a place at York University. I'm still unsure whether it's the course I want, but I'm sure I'll work it out. I was slightly annoyed to find that an essay I wrote on William Wallace as part of my History A-level; a piece heralded as "a legendary piece of coursework", received a U from the exam board. Needless to say I was rather shocked, after being given the impression it was of A standard. But overall I had a good week for my educational prospects...
I've been following Spore closely for 3 years now. I'm entering that surreal period just before a highly anticipated release. I have my new laptop on order (Alienware m9750) and I've just purchased a dongle so I have access to the Sporepedia (and of course university material) wherever I am. I feel that on the day I have the laptop set up, with internet, the printer and speaker, I will be at peace for a moment, before finally plunging into the Creature Creator. I have a few months of creation to make up for after all.
I am also excited for the new Overlord titles. The DS version has a really unique style from the screenshots, so I'm rather excited for more. Further, it has re-awakened my love for Dungeon Keeper. I may invest in a copy, as my old one is nowhere to be found.
I wonder where I put that...

The Last of the Dungeon Masters
This is my first blog, and something of a farewell.
Near to every person who has played an RPG, hell, a fantasy game has been influenced directly or indirectly by this man. I speak of course of Gary Gygax. Renowned creator of the Dungeons and Dragons game system, as well as AD&D and countless other games and sourcebooks. Without this man countless thousands would have had far less enjoyment in their lives. He died yesterday, May 4th 2008.
I'm only young, but for the past five years I have lived the fantasy that is D&D. I've played the videogames; Baldurs Gate, Dragonshard, Temple of Elemental Evil and I've rolled countless characters. I've been an Elven Ranger, blessed by the Gods. A Spellsword, scarred in an inferno and seeking vengeance. I've even played a troll fighter, just for laughs. Gygax has enriched my life, that of my friends and so many others worldwide. So a great a following is a testament to his work, and he shall be remembered and loved by millions.
Thank you, for me and all the others who ever wanted to live and play their fantasies. You made it a possibility.
"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else"
Gary Gygax 1938-2008

Overlord
"Just plain fun" Disobedient RTS soldiers? Minions are what every true leader needs. They have enough charm alone to make the game work. Continue »
