Writing Without a “U” Key

by Brandon

Well, I’m here, on vacation but I’m still going to take a few minutes to write. Of course it is on my laptop, which has seen better days. The right shift key is gone. So is the “U” key. Oh, you can still press the metal and it will register…sometimes but it isn’t exactly fun. I didn’t realize how much I use…that key until I couldn’t anymore.

But, as far as MMOs go I don’t really know. I haven’t had the chance to play anything these past few days obviously. I have been playing my DS, which is still a ton of fun. I also haven’t really seen anything that is going on so who knows what’s going on. I guess some of the bigger news is that SOE has announced The Agency will be a free to play game. Good. More games need to go to this route. I wish I could find a quote I read a few days ago by one of the ArenaNet guys about how developers and people know that the subscription method is not the only way to make money. Good. Someone needs to say it. I’m sick of trying to defend paying a monthly fee to pay a game. Don’t get me wrong I don’t particularly mind a fee, as has been stated, as far as hobbies go it’s pretty cheap…that doesn’t mean it is necessary though. Anyway, this no “U” key is starting to get to me now and I’ve stabbed myself on this piece of metal one too many times, so thats it for the moment.
