That's a Damn Lot of Nerds

Just watched MarineKing lose 0-3 against NeasTea in the Iron Squid 2 Finals. The games were so decisive what I found more interesting was the crowd shots. There are a ton of people packed into the Le Palais des Congrès. It makes me shake my head. I would never consider traveling and buying tickets to something like this.

Guess I'm old now and out of the demographic. *sigh*

ESO Beta Access Sign-Up'age

Getting closer to reality…

Laid it on pretty thick in the "Why should you get Beta access?" section:

I'm the type of gamer that will look at every aspect of a game and, given the chance, will provide positive and negative feedback to developers. As a software engineer I can provide specific, technical details. I've been playing MMOs since 1999 (in EverQuest) so I can be pretty opinionated. I enjoy solo play but also raid lead along with running regular group content with friends and random PUGs, which means hours and hours of playing each week. :)

It would be great to get access but I also wouldn't mind waiting. I'm going to buy/play it for a least a month no matter what.

Every Phone a Library

Thanks to a heads up on Episode 50 of Skyrim Off the Record I've just downloaded The Elder Scrolls Books. Supposedly it includes all of the books from Daggerfall through Skyrim. Not sure if Bethesda will allow it to stick around but while they do… yay!

Edit: This app has been around for over six months. How did I miss it?

Warframe

Found out about beta keys going out for Warframe, thanks to ColloseusXReturns. Another F2P FPS. Doesn't seem ground-breaking but it looks nice. Will have to see what's up.
