So Much To Do, So Little Time
I'm suffering from a wealth of riches where my online gaming experiences are concerned, but the choices are too rich for me to handle. I really want to spend more time playing Defiance, especially to see how the game and the T.V. series come together with its premier....
Trying Out an MMOFPS – Defiance
I've only briefly dipped into Defiance's full release game so far, but I figured I'd at least share some initial info. Getting screen shots is a bit challenging so far, especially with not being able to pan my view around like I'm used to, but hopefully they'll figure...
Blog Neglect
Yes folks, I've been guilty of blog neglect. This isn't more than a fluff piece, hello to you all, screen cap, quick update toss up though, sorry. I've been playing SWTOR and Rift a lot lately. My husband and I finished up the Bounty Hunter story quests with levels to...
Happy One Year Anniversary Star Wars: The Old Republic!
I wanted a really iconic location for setting off my celebratory fireworks, so what else should I do but head to Tatooine and jump into a Sarlaac pit?! Congratulations on your first MMO year Bioware. Hoping to wish you many more of these, looking forward to what you...
What Can You Do In Rift Dimensions?
A few people have asked me about dimensions so I figured I'd pull a few screen captures together with a bit of explanatory text. I have a few complaints about the controls, but it has been pretty easy to be creative. You get a free small starter dimension from a...
Amazing People Worthy of Respect Not Mockery
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
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
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
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
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...
