Introducing Ahira

The first day of Aion was pretty chaotic for me.  As detailed in the prior post, I got in immediately but my friend got stuck in the queue, so we got a late start.  We were only able to get an hour or so of gameplay before I had to log off and attend to [...]

The Aion Version Of The Armory Destroys WoW Armory

The new Aion website is up and it is something special.  Not only does the “Armory” do everything that the WoW and WAR armory does but it also has a 3D character viewer and the ability to check in-game mail and the broker (auction house)!
It’s a pretty amazing little website and looks really nice.  It [...]

I Am Brett Favre….

Damnit.
I was all set to jump into Aion tomorrow on my shiny new Cleric.  I have watched
countless PvP videos about the Cleric, read tons of strategies, poured over all the skill charts and Stigma builds.  I was a Cleric and I was ready.

Goals For Headstart

One more day.  ONE MORE DAY.
One more day and the Aion headstart gets underway.  Finally, I will play a character that means something.  A character that won’t get wiped in a few weeks.  I am excited.

Tonight my Legion, Havok, have settled on a race and [...]

Donation To Aionic Thoughts

You may have noticed a new button over yonder on the right-hand side.  Yes, it is for donations.  No, they are not expected from you.  I make no money from this website nor do I expect to do so.  However, I do have large plans for the site.  A friend of mine picked up the [...]

Implements Of War

Well, the time is rapidly approaching for the release of Aion.  I thought I would give you folks a look at what I will be using to play the game.  Now, I am not talking about my PC (although I might post my specs later) but the keyboard and mouse that I use.  Both are [...]

Early Stage Of My Newest Tattoo

This is probably of absolutely no interest to anyone but tonight I had my newest tattoo started.  It is going to be a Medusa and right now it’s just line work with no shading.  Here it is:
Also, yes, I am bald with a long beard.  I look like a biker or a really, really tall [...]
