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...

Amazing People Worthy of Respect Not Mockery

Nov 1, 2012

The next time I find myself tempted to mock George Lucas over my dislike of Jar Jar Binks, or who shot first, I'm going to remind myself that this is a man worthy of my respect. He cares enough about children to push a lot of his fortune into his own charity and now...

Frankenstein’s MMO

Oct 26, 2012

Many people have written posts about their perfect game. I'm not going to try and write up all the features in my perfect game, but I am going to start sewing a few pieces together into my MMO Monster. Tis the season for making horrific creatures after all. As I've...

Hype and Fun and Games

Sep 28, 2012

I love thought-provoking talks via Twitter. They make me want to write and they help me put my thoughts in order about things percolating in my mind. Today's brain brew is all about game hype, game expectations, why we love some games but don't love their successors...

Shrinking Pains

Sep 18, 2012

Change, oh how we loathe it sometimes. I'm writing this to say farewell to the glory days of SWTOR's endless servers and the concept I had of how my legacies and character concepts would work, and to grumble about it. In the early days of long queues and many servers,...

Gaming is Not A Long-term Commitment

Aug 29, 2012

I’ve come to a realization recently that I am an old-fashioned gamer. Not the tasty cocktail or ice-cream sundae kind of Old-Fashioned either, but the stodgy get-these-kids-off-my-lawn kind. I’ve been watching people game-hop and finding myself annoyed at those pesky...

SWTOR Event Goodies

Aug 15, 2012

I hope to update this over the next few days to share a few of the goodies from doing the latest Star Wars: The Old Republic's live event. For now, I had to share a picture of my good fortune from yesterday's kick off day. I'm not sure how often these little guys will...

It Is The Little Things That Count

Aug 6, 2012

I took advantage of the chance to try out The Secret World MMO during its free weekend event. While I hadn't intended to post anything about my trial, I really don't feel I had enough time to give it a fair chance, I did come away with some general impressions and...

What Else Should I Do When I Can’t Sleep, But Blog?

Jul 15, 2012

It has been a while since I've felt like writing. I couldn't sleep and have been chatting about MMO content in Twitter this morning. Twitter is often a good source of blog fodder, since it is hard to hold a long meaningful discussion in bits and pieces, but often...

Non Gaming Related Tribute

Jun 17, 2012

I don't have kids and at this stage in life the chances are pretty slim. One thing I do regret is not seeing my husband be a dad. He is pretty cute with my nieces and nephews and tends to be one of those favorite uncles. My parents have both passed away and I'm...
