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...

Companions and MMOs

My Next Great Adventure (who needs a life?) Like many others I know, my household has purchased two pre-order copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic. I really hope their "holiday 2011" release window is them playing a Scotty from Star Trek, and under-promising with the...

New author experimentation

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi I saw this book on the new books shelf at my local library and since I was ready to try a brand new author, I read the inside cover.  What grabbed my attention and made me check the book out was the comment that the book includes...

Romancing the Pixels

I've been playing Dragon Age: Origins and this time deliberately working on the romance angle. I've never been all that interested in pursuing it in roleplay games, but with it being part of the companion experience in the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic, I...

Do You Ever Walk Away From A Book?

I've been reading David Drake's Daniel Leary series over the past couple of months. There are several books in the series, but I realized that it is taking me longer to finish than is usual for me. I even read a couple of other books in between these, and gobbled them...

All About the Snappy Rejoinder

I've been thinking about my book collection lately and the books that I'm willing to re-read. Most of them have a lot of sarcasm and gentle ribbing between the main characters. One of the early series of books I picked up, and read many times, was David Edding's...

To Rift or Not To Rift…

It finally happened. I logged in to Rift and I had no desire to do anything, even daily quests. I started thinking about emptying my character's mailboxes, the same thing I did when I was ready to mothball my WoW account. I still have the possibility of doing some...

Memorable quotes

I'm going to start building a list of some favorite quotes, this will take a while. SWTOR favorite line so far: "Is that a hair style or did a womp rat die on your head?" From Babylon 5, Vir Cotto to Mr. Morden: "I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they...

Screen Shots

I wouldn't say I'm an avid screen shot taker, but I like to document the occasional game event. I did a lot more when I was leading raids and working on my WoW guild's website, but the WoW days are over. Still, I have nostalgia and pictures gathering dust, so I think...

Putting yourself “out there”

I'll admit, I have held off on blogging for a long time. I usually have a lot to say, but rarely think it will be interesting enough to other people that they would read it. But my work is getting more heavily involved with all things social media, so here I am. If I...
