Secret World Temptations
November 12th, 2009 by Ravven

Fallen Earth
November 6th, 2009 by Ravven

I’ve been thinking about trying Fallen Earth. I’m playing Warcraft very casually, but I’ve seen all of the content so many times that I simply cannot do it again, or at least spend a lot of time doing the same quests.
