Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

Wise Kalanthes,

While minding my own business at my usual table at the cavern, this
welp of a man knocks the beer I was nursing from my hand and embeds a shoddy
knife into my table, inches away from my left hand. I like that table, so
naturally I was displeased. I demonstrated this by quickly inserting his own
knife back into his skull--handle first. The resulting mess caused a problematic
stain on my tunic which I have been unable to expunge, despite all manners of
effort spent on the cause. This also displeases me. Wise Kalanthes, help rid me
of this stain.

In your debt,
Fenris Nighte

I have seen several methods that work well. Cold water can help, if the stain is
still relatively fresh, as can spit (yes, spit). Using simple soap and cold
water may also help, and your local laundress can suggest various methods (or
even do it herself) if my advice fails you. Finally, you may consider spending
more time at the tavern, as getting in enough disagreements with knives can
result in your tunic having that particular stain all over it, turning an
unsightly mark into cutting edge fashion.

New Priest Class Interview at TTH

I don't have to say it twice. TenTonHammer has the inside scoop on all MMO news and interviews. Today they published an interview on the Tempest of Set player class.

The Tempest of Set is an evolution of many different class concepts which
eventually become consolidated into the class we have available to us today. The
Tempest combines almost all of the unique aspects of the previous Scion of Set,
Druid, and Stormcaller classes, focusing primarily on a mix of healing,
area-of-effect lightning damage, and crowd control.

My First Blog

Well this would be the first blog I've ever done. I guess its kind of like a journal where modern man writes his thoughts for the world to read.

I'm going to be writing about video games, coffee, and whatever else comes to mind.

For anyone reading I hope you like it. I guess it will take me a few hundred entries to get the hang of this and actually develop interesting content.
