So I’ve been trying to find the time to play an hour or two of my newest acquisition… Dragon Age. Over all I find that it’s a pretty darn fun game, although you’ll find everything seems to take an awful lot of time. Coming from Bioware I wasn’t surprised to see the same conversation system they used in Mass Effect. I kinda feel like the whole system is a little tedious, but I’m more arty then wordy so my opinion is jaded. I played through the first stage twice… Once as a Wood elf and once as a Dwarven Noble. I found the Dwarf storyline a little more engaging, as the Elf story seemed to have a heavy frosting of Species-ism which I felt was not something I enjoyed. Sure it parallels real life a bit and the storyline is heavily steeped in a classism/speciesism flavor, but I still thought that a lot of the dialogue came across as bigoted rather then bitter and angry… The Game play is great, anyone who has played World of Warcraft will enjoy the special abilities set up, complete with cool downs and mana meters, and I really enjoy the way that whatever character deals the killing blow is rewarded with a special animation of the character dispatching the enemy.
It’s a great game for RPG enthusiasts, but be prepared to put in a lot of time.

It has been a while since I’ve done any animation at home and I decided to whip this up while I was watching Warehouse 13 last night. It’s nothing special, but I thought I would share.

Hey Guys!
Finally got around to uploading this image to the site. It was sent to me by Lou Manglass of “Yet Another Webcomic.” Lou’s been reading the comic for a long time now and I actually got to meet him at PAX East this year for an evening of Beer and Munchkin. Lou sent me this piece of fan art just after my son was born and I’ve been meaning to get it up on the site for a while. Either way it’s up now for you all to enjoy! Also, be sure to check out his site to read his comic and check out his process page and gadgets!
