Windows 8.1 available now. Install updates first and boot to desktop

Windows 8.1 is now available.   You can download it here:  Windows 8.1.  I was not able to install 8.1 until I ran any pending updates on my workstation.  I received no error,  the update took me to the store and just sat.    Once I did that and rebooted my PC it installed without issue.

The boot into desktop setting is on the Taskbar and Navigation menu.

1. Right click the task bar

Everquest 2 Free Heroic characters

For the next 15 days EQ2 is giving away free level 85 characters,  all you need to do is logon and roll one up or upgrade your current one.     Even if you are not sure you will play eq2 its worth going in and doing this.  They are also giving away the DOV expansion and removing item unlockers from the game.  I am on the Freeport server and will idle online the next couple nights to invite anyone to the guild I am in.   Just send a message to Skimtatz on freeport.    If I am not on send me a text/im.

From now until Oct. 15, you can take part in our 1 FREE HEROIC CHARACTER ‘Hero’s Call’ Offer. All existing accounts created prior to Sept. 22, 2013 will have access to 1 free Level 85 Heroic Character! All accounts created after Sept. 22, 2013 will get access to 1 free account per household. These free Heroic Characters will be unlocked permanently!

Everquest 2 Heroic Characters

Below is the eq2 producers letter announcing a new featured called heroic characters.   Basically between the Oct 1st and 15 th you can get a free level 85 equipped character,after that it is pay.    What do you guys think about paying for characters.    Years ago I would have been outraged, now I kinda like the idea.   Will this be enough to get you to stop by Freeport and hang with me?    There us a ton of good content starting at 85 that is very challenging.

Calling all heroes!

We are putting in the final touches for Heroic Characters and we’re excited to be able to give you some news about them.

Before we get to how Heroic Characters work, let’s talk about why we are doing it. Primarily, we created this new feature because you asked us for it! At SOE Live, on forums, in one-on-one conversations, and lots of other ways, we’ve heard variations on similar ideas.

Two Free Games: Mark of the Ninja and Trine 2: Complete Story

I will be giving away a copy of the Mark of the Ninja and Trine 2: Complete Story for steam on Friday at some random time.   If you have not yet joined the Splanic google+ community now would be a good time to do that. At some random time I post the codes on there.   First person to activate them gets them.   These are both very good games!

Pro-Tip:   Install the mobile app and turn splanic notifications on so you know the second they are posted.
