LOL. Actually, Redguard is a Race, not a Faction (or Alliance, as it is called in game).

If anyone else does join, I suggest you choose Ebonheart Pact as your inital faction (there are three). Your choice determines your starting area, and me, Gib and Jimbo all have chracters in the Ebonheart area right now. Game guilds are also faction-specific.

I bought it as well. My gametag is Unclestinky.

So far I have a level 6 Redguard Dragonblade, specializing in sword-n-board, with flame effects.

If this is cheap, I think I'll get it. I know the novelty will wear off pretty quickly, but when I watch a video like this....

The graphical environment of this multiplayer game is incredibly good, but I am still wondering if there is enough to justify playing for a long time.

The game is scheduled to release May 27.

My older brother turned me on to this group (Lake Street Dive). Guess they've played on Colbert and are getting known. The lead singer is described as looking like Scarlett Johansson and singing like Amy Winehouse. This is a really well-done Youtube video of a song so good I can't get it out of my h...

LOL. In my current job I do a lot of interviewing of candidates for jobs. We have standard sets of questions, complicated score sheets. One of my co-workers - who worships at The Church of Apple - was pressing for us to replace our clipboards, score sheets and pens with i-Pads. We had to point out t...

I bought one of these for my wife last Xmas - Best Buy was selling them for $250. It's a laptop not a tablet, but is very lightweight with a touch screen. My wife loves it, using it mainly for e-mail, internet and watching videos. It has Windows 8, but you can easily get it to desktop mode which wor...

The heavy snow meant I got an unexpected day off from work today, and I spent a lot of it playing a new game I downloaded from Matrix Games called Heroes of Stalingrad. It's a very direct port of a WWII squad-level board game called Lock 'n Load. And it is freaking fantastic. If you ever played game...

Do you maybe mean Panzer Blitz? I still get goose bumps seeing thios cover. At the time it seemed so awesome!

Actually, they are playing themselves in the movie. It's a very good movie that reminds me in some ways of the movie Sideways. There is a scene where they try to do out-do each other's Michael Caine impression.

I've been having fun playing three very different roles on my rogue - hunter, battle bard and stealth attacker. I did start a warrior on the Guardian side, and I have to say that I like their starting area much more than the Defiant one. She is only up to level 18. FYI - all my toon names start with...

The RIFT forum ran a contest recently to determine the best pre-sets for each of the four character classes. You can see the results following the link below. The builds I've seen are very usefully laid out - i.e., they tell you how to invest soul points at each level, and how to set up your action ...

Now this one looks very cool. Squad-level combat in WWII. I just hope it's not buggy, and has a decent AI. http://matrixgames.com/products/349/details/Mark.H..Walker%27s.Lock.%27n.Load:.Heroes.of.Stalingrad" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?...
