Christina Sng retired after a long and illustrious career as a usability consultant, site producer, information architect, and web developer. Retirement, however, is boring! Join her here on her continuing adventures on the web.
I had this same problem the last time I tried the direct online upgrading to The Burning Crusade and just gave up. The irony was that Blizzard had accepted the same credit card for my monthly subscription.
This time I had more at stake. I just hit level 60 and could not earn any more XP [...]
So I have to say, WoW hooked me good this time.
Patch 3.3 really made soloing much easier with their new quest tracking system with in-built map and for some reason, my rogue seems more powerful as a solo character (either that or playing it for the past 4 years has made me a better [...]
Well, trying to. At this rate, I might probably squeeze in another hour before my 10 day free trial is up.
Day 1: By the time everything was patched it was 3am. I logged on, admired my dragon whelpling, dismayed at having to redo my talent tree, gawked at my inventory and quest list, and logged [...]
The free 7 days game time Blizzard sent me for WoW lured me back and my old WoW pal (and RL friend) was thrilled to see me log on today. It’s WoW’s 5th anniversary and everyone’s celebrating.
But first came the patches. I wasn’t too far off since I last played in 2008, but still it [...]
I must confess it has been years since I have gamed on anything other than a PC (and now iPod Touch). Video games have come a long way since I was a kid some 30 years ago. I was one of the earliest players of GameBoy, well, when it was just GameBoy.
To me, the epitome [...]
Here are the funnest, most educational apps to date for toddlers and childlike adults since our last review in February 2009.
1. Elephant Song
Wonderfully interactive, beautifully simple pictures, and a lovely song. When my son first played it, it was my morning anthem for a few weeks. After a while, I couldn’t get the [...]
Since I am one month to go before popping out another human, I have been doing most of my shopping online. I can’t quite carry my son in a carrier anymore (he prefers to run and explore, and my pregnant beer belly is in the way). Plus I like getting stuff in the mail. So [...]
After months with my iTouch now, I feel I know it as well as the back of my hand. So does Jack, my almost-3 year-old, hence more apps have been downloaded for him than myself and I daresay he spends more time on it than me. Educational games of course, and here are the best, [...]
After persisting another day, I eliminated the final possibility. I read this forum post about the Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro and knew this must be it! Firewall conflict – that’s what the nice Blizzard lady Leah wrote and told me. So here’s what I did.
In Vista (yes, still using that confounded thing), under Services, [...]
It is now day 2 and I have solved the “Tracker not responding” problem. Turns out WoW doesn’t like Comodo Firewall such that even turning it off doesn’t work. When I finally threw in the towel and uninstalled it, the Launcher worked and downloaded the latest patch.
Now when I restarted it, the News page refused [...]
