GemStone IV – Great Old School MUD RPG

I was a huge AD&D player when I was in my teens.  I loved all the intracacies of combat and roleplaying.  And the best part was playing with other people.  These were the building blocks of my life.  It’s also why I am now a people person, for the most part.
Well, I’ve always been a [...]

"Playing" WoW From iPhone

I would keep the quotes pretty heavily around the “playing” part. It looks like he’s using Telekinesis to stream the video from his laptop to the iPhone. It’s a cool tech demo, but hardly looks playable.
