Tatooine: The Gaudy Desert Stronghold
When I picture Tatooine, I picture a place that is austere, harsh, sandstone walls, Jawas. I don't picture it like my current stronghold is now; papered in gaudy glowing trophies and surrounded by slot machines. Apparently, enough people complained about not having a...
Pluto Flyby and Fun Coverage
Today marked another milestone in human kinds drive to explore and understand our solar system when a space craft we launched in 2006 finally reached its destination and turned blurry and vague images of Pluto into amazingly clear images. Check out the NASA New...
Updating, (and updating, and still more updating…) The Secret World
Every time I open my Origin client to play one of my Bioware games, I see the lady in red from my The Secret World launcher. While I've hidden the other Origin games I don't play, that one has remained on the screen. I have considered playing it a few times lately,...
Standard Armors in SWTOR
I always wondered why the designers made all of the white quality armors in Star Wars the Old Republic, that you can buy from light, medium and heavy vendors on most planets. They give armor values, but no stat boosts. They've always seemed useless to me, until now. I...
The NBI 2015 Safari: My Roundup and Rejects
The Screen Shot Safari has been a fun way to participate in this month's Newbie Blogger Initiative. I hope that many of you found some great new blogs to read and new bloggers to enjoy and follow. I have yet to even scratch the surface of the fun posts that are out...
Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit The Bonus, Bonus Round – #NBI2015Safari
Well, Murf threw open the floodgates today and since there is one category left that I haven't used, Landscapes, I figured I'd add a shot for it. This one was amazingly hard to narrow down to one choice. In the end, I picked a game I hadn't featured yet and an...
Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit The Bonus Round – #NBI2015Safari
I know, I've already done 4 screen shots, but we have an extra Saturday this month, so I am going for the bonus round. Today's choice is Epic Achievements and mine is not exactly... traditional. However, I felt pretty epic at the end of this, like I'd fed the masses...
Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit Part 4 – #NBI2015Safari
This week I am picking the Hero/Villain option for my screen shot. Yesterday, BioWare celebrated 20 years since they were established in 1995. There were many tweets reminiscing about their games, stories, and fun times. I had been toying with the idea of doing a hero...
The NBI Talkback Challenge: What Made Me A Gamer?
I think I will bite for this week's talkback challenge. I also think I'm going to limit this to talking about becoming an online/computer gamer, rather than a gamer in general. I'm pretty old school when it comes to gaming. I've been playing tabletop games for longer...
