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...

Not Going to Play with ‘Dudes’ with Attitudes

Aug 18, 2014

Yay! for reading other people's blog posts and letting them inspire me. I'll admit, between an awesome weekend of camping and being very AFK, I fell off the Blaugust wagon. But I knew I would, so I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm actually really happy I...

Yep, I Really Am Over It

Aug 14, 2014

If it hadn't been for Twitter, I would still be unaware of when the next WoW expansion is coming out. For those of you who may be excited for it and don't know yet, it will be November 13th. I've seen the trailer, because it was linked in a tweet, so I clicked it. I...

Do I Hear the Clock Ticking on the End of Days for My MMOing?

Aug 13, 2014

Games conventions often bring with them awesome reveals and game trailers. Today is no exception as Bioware revealed more details about projects they are working on. The Dragon Age Inquisition enemies trailer is so awesome. And hearing so many familiar voice actors in...

Book Titles…Halp!

Aug 12, 2014

I have an entire room full of books. As I browse the shelves I realize that not only does my own book need to eradicate misspellings, keep point of view correct, fix any tense issues and entertain, but it also needs a spiffy name and decent cover art. I have no...

I Kinda Miss Nostalgia

Aug 11, 2014

I read an interesting post on Massively today about Wildstar's random factor and how it has chosen to structure its endgame. It struck a few chords with me. There may have even been a light bulb popping into existence over my head. I realized a while ago that while I...

Screen Shot Sunday: The Memorable Deaths Version

Aug 10, 2014

I don't have a lot of time today, but I thought I'd take a short walk down memory lane to share a few screen shots. One of my favorite character death shots comes from my WoW days. I know it was a graphical glitch, but these columns and the boss that tossed us around...

Strong Female Character Traits

Aug 9, 2014

Is it just me, or do strong female characters often come across as being portrayed overly prickly and confrontational? I've been reading a series of books recently, written by a husband and wife team under the name Ilona Andrews, the Kate Daniels books. I have been...

Pete and Repeat

Aug 8, 2014

As I played through the ME3 Omega DLC again last night, I started thinking about why I am willing to play single player games and DLCs over and over again, but have such a distaste for daily quests in MMOs. I don't want to hate daily quests or reputation grinds. I...

How Important Is One Person to Shaping Vision and Content

Aug 7, 2014

Today saw another big loss of talent at Bioware. Casey Hudson, who has been part of the development of many of my favorite games has been given a fond farewell by the studio's general manager. While Casey's words in the message are upbeat and positive in tone, I can't...
