No Halo 3 Beta?

Posted at May 16, 2007 10:46 pm | In Gaming | By: Ben Woodruff

So I went over to Jordan’s today with Graham to play the Halo 3 beta and… guess what… it was delayed. It was supposed to be up at 7:00AM EST. It’s not up as of my writing this post (approx 10:45PM EST). Good Game Microsoft.

Bigger mini-LAN

Posted at April 21, 2007 1:00 pm | In Personal | By: Ben Woodruff

Over spring break we got together for a slightly larger LAN party.
Halo 2 multi-player was amazing, as always.

Myself, Jordan, Graham, Bill, and Steve (left to right)

(front view, names are right to left in this one)

Good fun.

Mini-LAN

Posted at April 12, 2007 10:12 am | In Personal | By: Ben Woodruff

I went over to Jordan’s yesterday and bought his Xbox and one of his 24 port switches.
We setup a mini-LAN and are going to get together again today (hopefully with Steve and Bill) and play some Halo 2 or something.

Level 10 Blood Elf Paladin

Posted at January 21, 2007 11:53 pm | In Gaming | By: Ben Woodruff

Woot! I got the BC expansion yesterday in the mail.
I rolled a BE pally and leveled it up to 10.
I also ran an instance on my priest with <U n f o r g i v e N>, which is Bob’s guild.
I’m still thinking that we’ll want to make <Zoot Suit Riot> eventually, but Bob’s is working fine for us for now.
I’m still only about 1/2 way through level 60, while most of my friends at at least 62.
That’s probably because I made the paladin, and haven’t been playing as much as them though.
nbd. Hopefully I’ll catch up.
I think I’m going over to Spencer’s on Wednesday after the IT midterm so we can do some leveling then.

WoW Expansion

Posted at January 16, 2007 11:13 pm | In Gaming | By: Ben Woodruff

The Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft came out today. I pre-ordered it from Best-Buy and they said they shipped it on the 14th. Hopefully it gets here tomorrow. *x-fingers*
I want to roll a Blood Elf Pally.

8 way Halo LAN partys FTW!

We have them like 2x a year.

LAN parties are amazing. One word: Counter-Strike (ok that’s 2 words).

BTW, Halo isn’t a LAN party. It’s not PC gaming.

Fable: The Lost Chapters

Posted at October 24, 2006 3:46 pm | In Gaming | By: Ben Woodruff

I got Fable: The Lost Chapters for PC the other day. I had spent the afternoon with Diggle, and we were trying to think of good games. I mentioned Fable, and Dig reminded me that I hate Xbox. I looked on Wal-mart’s website though and saw they had a PC version.

So  9 hours of play later, I have 3 wives, 1 divorce, own 4 houses, a sweet plate mail suit complete with pimp hat, and have completed the quests up to where your mother gets kidnapped (again). Off to fight Jack of Blades!
