WIR: Age of Legend

Next up on the reading list is Age of Legend. It's an anthology of Warhammer Fantasy stories set during the (duh) Age of Legend.

WIR: Ghosts of Ascalon

Ghosts of Ascalon is the first book bridging the world of Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. With my current focus on GW2 in addition to my love of background fluff for most any game I play, I felt this (and the follow up book, Edge of Destiny) were worth picking up. There's a third (and final) tie-in book scheduled for early next year that I'm sure I'll get when it comes out.

Gone Digital: Riley's First Toon

Riley has enjoyed sitting in my lap, watching me play various video games both computer and console. His first real interaction with them has been him hitting the space bar and making the character jump. He loves to make them jump. Shortly after Guild Wars 2 came out, he came into the room while I was playing and got in my lap. (Actually he said "what are you doing" while he forced his way under my mouse arm and climbed up.) After playing a little bit, I decided to make another character. I let him pick all of the visual selections. He had fun picking things out.

Fast forward to this past weekend. this time he's in Angela's lap watching her play. Again, he gets to make all of the visual selections and choose the name. He decides on one. I laugh quietly at the selection not thinking she would actually try it. She didn't think anything of it at first, entered it and started the game. The name was Wankerstein. Needless to say, I had her deleted that character and remake it. I didn't want my three and a half year old running around with a character name of that connotation. The new name was Hamerstein.

He spent about 10 to 15 minutes running and jumping around the asura area. Being only three and half, it was more going in kind of straight lines then actual running around. I would have to go over and turn him around whenever he was against a wall or cliff.

And so begins the next generation of gamer.

Gone Digital: Assassin's Creed 3

Been playing AC3 at times since it was released last week. Overall, I like it so far. I just barely started playing as Conner. The first "chapter" is not as Conner but rather his father, Haythem Kenway. While the controls are somewhat similar to the previous games, they are enough different that I am still getting used to them and the new UI. It is rather frustrating at times, but I know it will get better the more I play.

I say "at times" since most of last week's gaming was spent in Guild Wars 2 doing the Halloween events.

WIR: The Primarchs

Next up is the Horus Heresy anthology The Primarchs.
