Miniatur Wunderland

Yes, I would travel to Hamburg, Germany, just to see this incredible train station/airport/town miniature/diorama. 





Started in December, 2000 with a planned completion in 2020, this incredible miniature display consists of:
12,378 square feet (24,757 square feet is anticipated for the completed display)
890 trains
300,000 lights
215,000 trees
200,000 human figurines
Awesome.

Guild Wars 2 Beta

ArenaNet founder and President Mike O'Brien announced yesterday that: (1) their first beta test is now closed, (2) press will be invited to beta test starting February, (3) a public beta test will be underway in March and April, and (4) the game is slated for release "later this year."  I barely have time these days for MMOs but Guild Wars has always one that is a bit easier to fit into my schedule - especially since it doesn't have a monthly subscription, a plan which ArenaNet will continue with the sequel.

NICE!

You Got Your Forgotten Realms In My Dungeons and Dragons Online!

 

Lots of Dungeons and Dragons news of late, eh?  The free to play online PC game Dungeons and Dragons Online has not had a true, full expansion in its six years.  Sure, there have been updates with new areas, dungeons, and such but not a large scale expansion.  Until now.  This new expansion will increase the level cap from 20 to 25 and, here's the big holy shit moment, will open up an entire new world outside of Eberron: the Forgotten Realms.  This is where D&D Online should have been initially set anyway, if you ask me. 

Releasing this summer, D&D Online players will finally get the chance to delve into the Forgotten Realms setting with the release of the free Menace of the Underdark expansion.  This may very well get me back into playing D&D Online again.
