I have had no time lately to do any serious gaming in the past few months but an update should be given mainly for the posterity sake.

I just completed a 15 day “free” trail of  Fallen Earth which is a MMO developed by Icarus Studios LLC and Fallen Earth LLC.  Fallen Earth’s gameplay features first-person/third person views, 19 equipment slots, hundreds of items including improvised equipment and weapons, a real-time crafting system, various skills and abilities, factions and tactical PvP, all existing within 1000 square kilometers of usable terrain based on real-world topographical map.  The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland located around the Grand Canyon.  It was released in September of this year.

There are many positives about the game, including that it does not have a fixed class system.  It utilizes skill-based character development with a strong emphasis on flexibility and player preference. The game features active skills—trade-skills as well as mutation-based skills—which can be increased through Advancement Points or skill usage.  This game has lots of potential which may or may not be reached by the developers.  My main issues with the game were lag in the main cities, time it took for travel, lack of true character customization and boring combat.  After my 15 day trial, I decided to give the game a pass for now.

Back in World of Warcraft, I have not been playing much at all since August.  I did do a push around Halloween on three of my lower level toons, getting Bananadeath (Death Knight) up to level 61, Bananadwarf  (Dwarf Hunter) is now a level 24, and my only Horde toon “Needsashower” is now up level 16.  Yes, very pathetic indeed.

Bananadoo remains in the Legacy guild which is quiet due to a lack of committed raiders including myself.  Currently I am running sporadic dailies with him while I wait for the next big game patch 3.3.

As for my other gaming activity, there is none though I am getting ready to bring X-Box back into play.  Guess being jobless kinda brings the X-Box back out. lol
