Gaming Into the End of 2023

My pace of blog posts has certainly slowed toward the end of this year. I've been playing games, just nothing that inspires tips and tricks posts, or exciting experiences to talk about. As we end the year, I thought I'd at least wrap up with a few thoughts about what...

Starfield is Just a Good Not Great Game

Starfield is a pretty good game and one I can enjoy, but it is ONLY a pretty good game. It has missed the mark of being a great game. I came to the realization that they structured the game expecting us to play it again on a New Game plus mode, but I don't think I'll...

Starfield Tip Assigning Crew to Outposts

I'm writing a quick post to provide a tip on how to assign a crew member to an outpost in Starfield. Let's say you recruit a crew member who has the Outpost Management skill, so you build an outpost so she has something to manage. Here is what I had to do in order to...

Oddly Discontented the Starfield Edition

I took a walk around the first nice city we get to in Starfield last night. It is quite pretty at night and it was a peaceful walk. I talked to a few people, did some shopping, looked around the Lodge and then I just signed out of the game... I stared at my library...

Looking Forward Beyond Blaugust

Today I am using one of the Blaugust prompts to not only plan ahead for my blog writing, but to talk about an upcoming game. The prompt is "What are you looking forward to the most over the course of the next year?" I have a hard time coming up with "the most" for any...

Wrapping up Blaugust 2023 With Lessons Learned and Achievements

The final week of Blaugust is reserved for talking about lessons learned - a week that acts as a bit of a cool down so that we can share our own experiences with this year's blogging. While I haven't earned every achievement on the list, I'm happy that I met my...

SWTOR Trophy Art for PVP-How to Claim Your Decorations

Nov 15, 2014

Some of the new wall decor is already in the game. The art labeled trophy art for each of the PVP matches is set to pick up. If you haven't done much PVP over the years you may not have the required achievement. If you have then you will need to pick it up the same...

My Crazy November

Nov 1, 2014

This year my blogging friends helped convince me to give National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) a try. Having already written over 50,000 words earlier this year, I felt confident in joining up to write the sequel to my first book. After a morning of stutters and...

SWTOR Decorations: New Slot Machine

Oct 22, 2014

The 1 credit limited time purchase for the slot machine decoration from the Binary Star reputation vendor has gone live in today's patch. I figured I'd take a quick shot of it and post for those of you who are decorations-mad like I am. Okay, I'm not quite "mad," as...

SWTOR Decorations Tip: How to Claim Your Class Mission Circular Signs

Oct 3, 2014

A guild member clued us in to this tip from the forums, and I'm sharing it with a screen shot to make it easier to find. This may be changed in the future to automatically unlock, but for now you can manually claim the various circular sign decorations for any class...

Your Online Character’s Theme Song

Sep 25, 2014

This is a fun topic that was started on my SWTOR guild's forums recently. Darth Vader had his Imperial March when he shows up on the screen. So, what would your favorite character's "dramatic entrance" music be? Like most fun questions, this one is hard because I...

Most Posts and Views in a Month (and that ain’t half bad)

Aug 31, 2014

Well, today is the last day of August, and thus the last day of that blogging phenomenon, Blaugust. I'm very impressed that 29 bloggers made it all the way past the finish line. Well done! (Edit: Here is the wrap up post with links to all the participants. There are...

Nar Shaddaa Smuggler Haven

Aug 27, 2014

I finally got my Nar Shaddaa stronghold to 100% decoration status. I am not fully happy with it, there are a lot of trophies on the walls and many decorations I still want, but I can swap those out at my leisure now. Here is a quick set of screen shots of the various...

SWTOR Strongholds: Do Your Research (or suffer like me…)

Aug 22, 2014

I have no one to blame but myself, but I figured I'd share a little warning for those who hit my blog by searching. Do...not...bother spending the 5 Dark Projects and 5 MK-3 Universal Prefab kits to buy a class ship unless you have fully unlocked Nar Shaddaa or...

My Smuggler’s Happy Place

Aug 19, 2014

Today saw the release of early access for Star Wars: The Old Republic's Galactic Strongholds expansion. I have been playing around with it all day. It is pretty intuitive to get started placing objects, although it doesn't seem quite as intuitive to get your initial...
