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...

Accentuate the Positive?!

Apr 19, 2014

Been doing a little bit of Wildstar beta this weekend and I am sadly appalled at the character models. I was expecting cartoonish, I was expected exaggerated, I was even expecting large breasts on the female toons. I was not expecting how the movement and posture...

How Perception Shapes Reality, or Expectations FTW/FTL

Jan 26, 2014

We have another one-week-at-a-time in-game event in SWTOR, and opinions on it have been very mixed. Some people love it, some people hate it, some people think it is okay... the usual mix of Opinions. Me, I think the event is fine, but I went in knowing what the event...

Crafting For Fun And Profit?

Jan 5, 2014

Word of warning on this post, I am not all that enthusiastic about crafting in my MMOs so keep that in mind when you read my opinions about this topic. Maybe this is because I've never played a game where crafting was exceptional, or maybe I just don't enjoy a certain...

Dissecting New MMO Content

Jan 4, 2014

Another recent topic on Twitter has been hopes from Star Wars The Old Republic's players for content from the game in 2014. It will be a year of many new game releases with new stories and worlds to tempt away the players of existing MMOs. Many of us hope this will...

Is It Me? Or Is It Game Design?

Jan 3, 2014

I've been reading a few blog posts and articles lately about how the MMO population has started to age. I've read nostalgic posts about how great MMOs used to be and how there used to be that One Game to rule them all and now there isn't anymore. I've decided that it...

My Current SWTOR Character Customizations

Oct 18, 2013

This started with a friend asking me for a list of what one of my characters was wearing. While I was grabbing that, I started screen shotting all of my current characters because I really like the way most of them look right now. Gone are the days of being stuck with...

NBI Poetry Slam

Oct 10, 2013

MMO Gypsy Syl has launched a challenge this month for we geeky bloggers to wax poetic. She did ask... I admit, I really enjoy filk music. I like adding my own words to the catchy tune of someone else's music. What's the fun of writing bad poetry if you can't ruin...

Games People Play (While Playing Games)

Aug 21, 2013

I have been thinking about MMO grinds lately and how much I start to hate a game once I start to hate its more grind-y elements. If you think about what you are asked to do in your character's "free time" to satisfy some faction or impress some group, it tends to be...

Happy 10 yr. Anniversary Knights of the Old Republic

Jul 15, 2013

In honor of the KOTOR 10 year anniversary, I took a little trip into its legacy. KOTOR's heirs, Star Wars: The Old Republic, a weary Smuggler and her revived HK-51 droid toured Taris today. Malak did quite a number on this once over-proud city planet. We traveled the...
