Destructoid - Elandarex's Community Blog




About Me
Hello Destructoid, my name is Elandarex (which happens to be an anagram for my real, exceptionally common name) and I am a Gamer, which I have been led to believe is an immoral, socially bankrupt wretch of a creature. Of course, this sits just fine with me given the alternative!

I came to gaming relatively late compared to most gamers I know and despite the occasional brush with Nintendo systems my main gaming past time was playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons with my friends. Eventually I was introduced to Nights Into Dreams and it soon came to be that my first gaming console, a Saturn, was in my possession.

Still, it wasn't until Final Fantasy VII that I became totally embroiled in gaming, and ultimately, my life was signed over to gaming after spending countless hundreds of hours adventuring in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. After entering into the Church of Bioware I knew I should give up my long standing aspirations of becoming a Paleontologist and enter into an unholy pact with video gaming.

Since then, I have worked towards getting a job in the industry and am currently finishing up with an education in Game Programming over the next few months. Reading Destructoid for the past year has helped me maintain some semblance of sanity in the midst of many of the more psychotic gaming types at school and I felt that it was long past due that I quit my lurking and joined in with this unparalleled gaming community!

Note: I'm not too fond of this profile at the moment but am also far too lazy to make any changes to it at the moment, a common trend in my various dealings.

My Age of Conan Review on HookedGamers.com
Elandarex | 11:28 AM on 06.02.2008 6 comments


I wrote a lengthy first impression on Age of Conan a couple weeks ago, and though it may not have received heavy comments or anything, it did seem to impress Falconer over at Hooked Gamers. So it came to pass that I was asked to review AoC for their site, and if anybody is curious as to how this game turned out, yet wants more than a mere impression of it, feel free to check it out at Hooked Gamers.

Please let me know what you thought of it, as I may well write more reviews for them in the future.

Frackingly long review. Its a win. You are one lucky gamer. A real published review is what I dream of every night.
After I'm finished dreaming of girls of course.*cough*

Great read. I've been curious about AoC for a while, but I wanted to see how it'd fair after being in the wild a while.

Do you see yourself sticking with this MMO?

Great review, and the game looks good too, but for me I'd rather keep my money on WoW since it is more stable and I have more ground in it.

I find it hard for myself to stick with any MMO as I suffer from a bit of MMOADHD. Still, I'll be sticking with this one for the foreseeable future, though I'm waiting with bated breath to see what LucasArts and Bioware may be cooking up.

@Vongore: I honestly can't find anything in the C-Blog Terms of Usage that I have violated here, as this review was written by myself, and I was just kind of proud that I got it published.

As for why I didn't copy paste it: seeing as I did it for this other site that originally contacted me through DToid, I decided that it might be disrespectful to just create a carbon copy of it on my personal blog. There's no nefarious scheme at work here, I just wanted to share something game related that I did with this community. So lighten up will ya?

Be more constructive with your feedback. :P
Kudos to anyone who gets the reference.
