		<title>Why I&#8217;ll Never Buy Battlefield 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple years back I bought Battlefield: Bad Company 2 when it went on sale. I&#8217;m generally not interested in big name military shooters, as they are pretty boring games where the emphasis is on whoever-shoots-first-wins style gameplay and their storylines are hackneyed Tom Clancy &#038; Michael Bay ripoffs. But despite the shallow gameplay, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those who hadn&#8217;t heard, D&#038;D 5th edition is in development. My reaction is at once unsurprised, but interested. Dungeons and Dragons players tend to be a bit cynical, and so when 3rd (or 3.5) edition was killed off in favor of 4th edition, many players predicted that it wouldn&#8217;t be long until Hasbro / [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I&#8217;ll Never Buy Mirror&#8217;s Edge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just recently looked at the Steam Store and noticed that Mirror&#8217;s Edge is on sale at 75% off. That puts the total price for this game at $5. I was seriously considering making the purchase, but I vaguely recalled that Mirror&#8217;s Edge had some kind of questionable DRM that made me pretty wary of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Masterplan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the extended posting hiatus here, things have been busier than expected on the work front. I&#8217;ve been meaning to write for about the past several weeks about a program that I recently discovered. The program is called Masterplan, and it&#8217;s a tool for Dungeon Masters of D&#038;D games. There&#8217;s a lot of software [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 and noticed a number of annoying issues. The page refresh button has moved from over on the left hand side of the browser (where it accompanied the Forward and Back buttons) to the right hand side of the URL bar. Links that I hover over now have a &#8220;pop [...]]]></description>

		<title>DLC and Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shamus had a post a couple of days ago discussing the outrage of certain gamers over the day-one DLC in Portal 2. I&#8217;ve been meaning to write a response for awhile, but I wanted to let my thoughts on the matter simmer for a little while before actually writing anything. That and I&#8217;ve been unfortunately [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interruptions and Interludes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My gaming group hasn&#8217;t met for a week due to scheduling conflicts, but we&#8217;re hoping to get back into the swing of things this upcoming week. We&#8217;re also running into the final couple encounters of the Keep on the Borderlands adventure that I&#8217;ve been running, so my thoughts have been turning to what we can [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on the Borderlands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my last post, I&#8217;m running a campaign in D&#038;D 4th Edition using the Keep on the Borderlands adventure. Earlier this week my group entered the final &#8220;Season&#8221; for this adventure, and I figured I&#8217;d make a post about it because I thought the ending scenarios are pretty cool and demonstrate some [...]]]></description>

		<title>4th Edition Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t blogged much about my gaming habits in awhile, so I&#8217;m going to give a brief catch up. The last time I was seriously involved in a tabletop RPG game it was Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition. I&#8217;ve played in some 3rd edition games since then, and also played in some 4th edition games, [...]]]></description>
