• The Story Goes On

    What a nice long and enjoyable break from blogging after Blaugust. It wasn’t really my intention to take an entire month off following that craziness.  It just sort of happened

    We Now Return to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

    Blaugust is officially over after today and i am so absolutely relieved. As someone who posts maybe three times a week on a good week, this month has been extremely

  • Happy 6th GW2!

    Has it really been six years already since the launch of GW2? I honestly can’t believe it’s been over half a decade since the hype train took off from the

    I just realized this morning that i haven’t done a mount post about GW2 yet. Yes they’re fairly new to the game but being as they are the main attraction

    My journey to a full ascended light armor set is moving rather smoothly so far. I managed to cap my Tailoring the other day and proceeded to craft myself ascended

    Exclusivity Is Good

    Long Way To Go

    I’m a little overwhelmed thinking about just how much there is to do for me in GW2 right now. It’s almost to the point of not knowing where to start

Housing

It’s no secret how much i absolutely love housing in my MMO’s.  It’s a game feature that can not only add hours upon hours of replayability but can also drive an economy.  This is one of the main features often overlooked or tossed aside as simply “fluff” in today’s MMO’s.  This is a huge mistake and one i think game

Solo Instances

     One of the aspects of Neverwinter that i surprisingly enjoy is the short solo instances.  They’re essentially all the same with a bunch of rooms with trash packs to defeat of your way to a story related boss.  Despite that fact, i enjoy them a lot more than the normal run of the mill fetch quests.  At some point

Neverwinter Open Beta

Open beta, which is essentially a soft launch of sorts, is upon us.  While I’m still not sure i even enjoy the game, i thought I’d get a head start in leveling in hopes to avoid the crowd.  Oh how i underestimated players willingness to jump all over anything new.  After a 2 hour queue, which should have been expected

Super Adventure Box

Well done Anet, well done.  You’ve managed to successfully take me back to the laste 80’s and my childhood Nintendo days.  This new mini dungeon is amazing and put a huge smile on my face the moment i zoned into it.  Almost made me bust out my old Nintendo Power magazine for cheat codes and secret content walk-through.

EQ2 Mount Check

     I was lucky enough to have created my account long enough ago to qualify for the free prowler mount given to everyone last year.  The rest of my mounts are all rewards from quests in certain zones.  There’s a rather large variety but I’m trying to stay away from any mounts available via the cash shop.  I also find

Shadowknight Sexiness

I’m really digging the armor selection so far on my SK.  Granted, they do a really good job at hiding just how ugly the character models are, but i still like it.  Hurray for appearance slots and capes as well.  Yet more options that seem to be overlooked in newer MMO’s.  Being a huge fashion diva in my MMO’s always

Better Late Than Never

It’s 8.5 years later and I’m playing EQ2 for the first time.  I’ve had this game installed for almost 3 years and never got around to actually giving it a shot.  It’s a shame really because the game is surprisingly solid and quite fun.  Albeit it’s slow and clunky at times but it’s almost 9 years old so it’s expected.

Neverwinter Beta

I had very little expectations going into this game.  After all, Cryptic is synonymous with cheap and over-instanced MMO’s.  I got the same exact vibe as CO and STO when i logged in.  The game actually looks pretty good on max setting but again, it feels very claustrophobic.  It’s difficult to explain but it’s very similar to how The Old

Legendary Reroll

What does one do after acquiring a legendary weapon on his thief?  One rerolls to a far superior class of course!  Don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love thief to death, but better is better.  I hadn’t noticed how lacking in group dynamics thief really was until i made it to higher level fractals.  The difference is night and day

Flipper Fractal

It never dawned on me to open up the character sheet while doing the underwater dolphin path fractal.  So in the middle of our path, Pims says to us “hey guys check out your model”.  It was instant hilariousness and not only because of the picture.  We spent the next 5 minutes dying over and over due to laughter.  Kudos

The Dreamer

     After 6 months and a lot of work, it’s mission accomplished.  I haven’t grinded by butt off for something in  a game for a long time, going  back to FFXI.  I told myself i wouldn’t grind for anything again, but it’s a freaking bow that shoots unicorns for fucks sake!  How could i not go for it?  What

Lost Shores

The Lost Shores event, or what we called “The Lagfest for Precursors”.  Once we learned that those were possible rewards for completing this event, the alts and second accounts were broken out.  Unfortunate for me that i had neither!  Our guild was able to acquire 6 total precursors, of which none were mine.  Still happy to see some new weapons
