For those of you who thought Abashi was an ass, I give you...

16 April 07 - 11:26Five things You didn't know About Me

Hat tip N3rfed.

I just noticed Someone Wanted to Know Five Things About Me

1. I was born in 1965 right in the middle of the rustbelt. I spent the fist 24 years of my life trying to escape a small town that had average unemployment rates of 25%.
2. All of my friends from high school are now either dead or in prison, save one.
3. I worked my way through college (40 hours a week, just saying.) and received a Masters of Science degree. I transferred to the University of Illinois on a Research Grant and Scholarship and started my PhD program at the University of Illinois and quit after the first month. I found being a grossly under paid professor, laboratory manager, and general gopher too much to handle while attending graduate level Physical Chemistry classes and studying the relationship of biochemical processes and DNA/RNA patterns in bacteria.
PS. I was one of the first people to work on PLATO at the UofI.
4. I currently run a BSL-3 laboratory and have 14 people who would show me no mercy if they knew I had this alternate ID of D-0ne.
5. I enjoy online gaming because it gives me a chance to escape the realities of the day to day and I enjoy the Internet and game blogging because it gives me a chance to be myself and I don’t have to be correct.

05 April 07 - 07:32Age of Conan Beta goes live!

Beta sign-up goes live!

- Apr 03, 2007
Saddle your war-mammoth and grab your sword, brave adventurer. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is finally about to charge into external beta.

Now you can sign up to join the fun yourself, and you need not bash Pictish skulls to do so. All you have to do is go to Funcom’s Age of Conan website and enter your relevant details.

Visit beta.ageofconan.com to sign up today!

Of course, should you be invited to join the ranks of those brave adventurers who first set foot in the virtual world of Hyboria, you will have to go through a fair amount of bashing Pictish skulls. Age of Conan will take you head-on into the fires of a world in flames. Here you and your friends will face terrible dangers that creep and crawl out from holes darker than a moonless night. And what lies within? Now you can find out!

Age of Conan will go through two beta tests: the Technical Beta and the General Beta. These will run simultaneously, though the Technical Beta will mostly consist of short test-runs that will be held sporadically during the coming months. The purpose of the Technical Beta is to test the various technical features of the game, such as server capacity and other technicalities. The General Beta will focus on gameplay and will be on-going.

Both parts of the Age of Conan beta will launch this spring and the sooner you sign up, the greater the chance you’ll have of actually getting invited into either parts of the beta. Know that by joining the thousands of Hyborian pioneers who first get the chance to explore the world, you will have access to certain benefits. For instance, your character in the final version of the game will be awarded a token of appreciation for your services.

As a member of the community, you will also have a greater chance of getting into the beta. We will be working very closely with Age of Conan’s community to ensure that you are all a valuable part of the beta process. Stay tuned for more information that will be communicated through both the website and the newsletter.

So, what are you waiting for? The blood on your sword is already beginning to dry. The sweat on your forehead is fading. In a universe where the strength of your character is judged by the strength of your sword-arm, there is no time for rest. Now is the time to enter the sexy, savage and brutal world of Conan and prove your worth!
