Dungeon Runners Retail Box

The Scribe — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:10:29 +0000

Dungeon Runners goes retail with a boxed version of its online game.

For that price it includes:

6 months of membership access
The Bling Gnome sidekick
and Exteel

This game continues to entertain me with its tongue in cheek humor and D&D atmosphere. I now play the game with one of my sons and its becoming much more enjoyable as we go thru the dungeons together. Its quite a blast.

Dungeon Runners

The Scribe — Sun, 18 May 2008 00:21:53 +0000

I have been a World of Warcraft player since release day. After playing it for that long I am now tired of World of Farming for rep and Items that everyone else has. I also don’t have the time any longer to go on long raids with the guild and get the Phat loot any longer.

Six months ago I started playing Dungeon Runners from NCSoft. Nice concept, free, pay if you want, some items you can’t use if you don’t pay, and the monthly cost is reasonably inexpensive ~$5. And you can download the client.

The best parts for me though are these:

I can play for an hour and be done, if I want to.
The itemization is fantastic, hilarious actually.
Character classes are nearly wide open. (no more WOW 2-3 build per class at 70)
Reminds me of playing Diablo and Diablo 2

Down Sides:

Can be fairly repetitious
Gets boring since I haven’t met anyone yet to play with.

I Remember When

The Scribe — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:28:35 +0000

I will probably be one of those fathers that tell my kids tall tales of when I was a youth and things were so hard and difficult.

Imagine using the Internet when there was no good search engine like Google. I couldn’t sleep tonight and woke up thinking about search engines and how one of my preferred ways to search the internet used to be using Inktomi. Search engine technology has came a long way since the mid 1990′s. I remember using Altavista, which until just now I hadn’t typed into a browser for many years. Thats all there used to be, it ran on a few servers inside Digitals network somewhere and index a somewhat large part of the internet, or what was believed to be a large part of the internet.

A bit later some guys at Berkeley decided to write Inktomi which was a distributed application, unlike Altavista. I remember using the 2 side by side and you could actually sit and wait quite some time for Altavista to return you a query while Inktomi would return a query much quicker. A few years later (probably late 1999) in an office at Avenue A Media a co-worker wanted to show me this new search engine, something called Google.

When I was a kid we used to have to wait for our search results.

I forgot all about WebCrawler
