Fallout of surround gaming

Lots of gaming done in the last couple of weeks.
Finally got my "project" done and got the Matrox Triplehead2Go installed and i am now gaming in "surround gaming" at a resolution of 3840x1024 on 3 monitors.
Needles to say that it looks awesome, no matter what game you play with it.

Been doing lots of gaming, but most recently i have been enjoying Fallout 3 again, hadn't played it in quite sometime but now i am absolutely loving it again.
Especially since i started using some mods, like Enclave Commander and RR Companions Vault.
There's so much stuff out there that will make this game even more fun.

Can't wait to check out the upcoming Fallout 3 DLC, Mothership Zeta, looks like that is going to be a lot of fun.

Also started a new "project", a new videocard. Just ordered a GeForce GTX 295.
Just feel my current card, the 8800GTX, can't just quite manage my new screen resolution while gaming. It's good but i am just not happy with the framerates.
Hopefully this new card will be handling it a lot better (it should).

Back into Age of Conan

Finally decided to use my gametime card for Age of Conan and tried getting back into it.
Reached another level on my Barbarian who is now level 51.

Still think AoC is a fun game, although i am still dying a lot, most areas just have to many mobs in a close area, so attacking one usually means a whole bunch will join in, if i am not really carefull.

MMO burnout ?

Just realised i haven't been posting much on my blog lately.
Not that i've not been playing, those who follow me on Twitter/GamerDNA/Raptr probably saw me game quite a lot.

But when it comes to MMO's, well since Tabula Rasa went down i haven't played them much.
I adventured around a little bit in some of the MMO's i still have a sub for, like my (SOE) Station Access and lifetime sub for LOTRO, also been doing a bit of Beta (like Free Realms and...).

But most of my gaming was done on the PS2, PS3 and Xbox360.
I did finally give in and got a PS3, although i am still dissapointed in the fact that i can't play any PS2 games on it, i still like the PS3.
But my favourite is probably still the Xbox 360, don't know, probably because i feel everything works better or maybe i just like the way the Xbox 360 works better.

Anyway what have i been playing?

Well on the PS2 i have been playing Persona 3 and i have Persona 4 laying around for when i finish Persona 3, also tried to play Everquest Online Adventures but unfortianatly all PAL servers have been taking down and only countries with NTSC can still play this MMO.

On the PS3 i've been playing Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5 (still stuck in the first level, can't beat the big guy), Pain (loved this game, never thought one could have so much fun with a ragdoll physics based game), Siren: Blood Curse and i have Heavenly Sword still laying around to be played.

On the Xbox 360 i've been playing: Saints Row (finally picked it up again), Guitar Hero World Tour, Fable 2 (totally got into this game, great), Peggle, Bully Scholarship Edition and i decided to get Saints Row 2 after playing it mostly on the PC, still think Saints Row is a lot more fun than GTA4, also got the new DLC for it, which i guess is a bit dissapointing but does give a couple of very cool new rides and a new homie you can call straight from the start.

On the PC i have not been playing much the last few weeks but i did start playing Silent Hunter 3, some Fallout 3 and i have a couple of new games waiting to be played, like Zeno Clash and the new Fallout 3 DLC.
But i will probably be playing Saints Row 2 and Fable 2 for a while as i am totally loving these games, i especially like the open world/sandbox feeling in Saints Row 2, i guess this comes as close to an MMO feeling as possible while playing a single player game.

I even bought the strategy guide for Saints Row 2 (although i haven't used it yet, only browsed through it), i usually don't buy strategy guides and when i do it usually means i like the game a lot and want to try to get everything possible out of it.

So after all this console (and mostly single player) gaming i am beginning to wonder if i am burned out on MMO's, some of the upcoming MMO's that i was really excited for don't seem that exciting anymore.
I guess only time will tell, for now i am having lots of fun playing Saints Row 2 and Fable 2.

Arrived at Qeynos

Finally made it to Qeynos with my main, after working on getting my -50000 faction with Qeynos up to a positive.
My Necromancer changed into a Conjuror, definatly gonna take some time to get used to my "new" skills, really need to set up my toolbars.. kind of annoying but should not be a huge problem :)

So far Qeynos feels a lot better than Freeport.
I am now on my way discovering The Thundering Steppes and Antonica.

Back into space

Been working on my expertise for my smuggler, changing it from full Beast Master spec to a Smuggler/BM spec made it possible to be a bit more effective in fights, but i am still not able to beat lvl 90 elites.
I can take on 3 normal lvl 90 at the same time and i did manage to kill a couple of lvl 87 silver elites, but they were very tough fights, also lost a couple.

Still need to lvl up my pet who is now a lvl 38, but to more effective i might also need a pet with better stats, my current, a Fanged Tiglon doesn't have really good stats, but i like it too much to get a new pet :)

Also went back into space to work on my space collections, curently working on my "Void Wing" kill quota, only need about 150 kills to get my tier 2, found a nice spot with a steady spawn that also has some Black Sun around so i can get some kills into that collection too.

Also remembered i still need to master pilot, but that last mission to master is a pain when trying to solo, although i haven't tried it in a long time, might give it another go sometime soon, i'd really like to get out of my fighter and fly that YT-1300 that has been in my storage for so long..

It's in the cards.

Still playing a lot of the SWG Trading Card Game, not doing much else inside the game.
This cardgame can be really fun, but i still need to figure out how to play, i suck :)

So eventhough i don't know how to play, i am still having fun..

Playing Cards SWG style

Akean Kressh, lvl 90 Smuggler.

Been back in SWG, mostly just hanging around in my house (just outside Anchorhead called "The Secret Smugglers Hideout" on Ahazi) doing some (re)decorating and playing a bit of the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, Should really figure out how to play this, can't even win from the AI on easy :)
