Travian

My latest time sink has been Travian, an online strategy/war game. It's played with many thousands of people around the world, most are enemies, and some can be allies. I have villages on three servers (gulp). The best part about the game is that you get to balance growing your villages and military with the political intrigue of alliances, spies and treachery. If you'd like to join me, sign up for server 3 in the NW quadrant. My alias is "Ransom". I'm also on server 7 as jholiday, naturally.


I would love to meet other players, especially if you're a good player in a top alliance.. Drop me a message here or in the game :)

Let the games begin..

So while the Olympics in Beijing are off to a roaring start, I'm beginning my own gaming event here in my cozy apartment in San Luis Obispo. While I'm not sure everyone can relate to this, every once and a while I get a hankering to play video games all day. Today's schedule of events includes: Travian, a new online strategy game that happens in real-time, Neverwinter Nights 2, which I will be picking up from Circuit City shortly, and maybe a little Zelda: Twilight Princess, if I get bored with the other two too quickly. To keep myself from becoming a complete shut in today, I'm going to go see the new 3D movie at the Fremont with some friends tonight, thought I'm sure that doesn't do anything to help lower my nerd levels that are now dangerously high...
