And Now for Something Completely… Not Gaming
If you've read my bio, then you know that I'm part of a medieval recreation group called the SCA and have been for years. So it will come as no big surprise that I like swords. As a fan of TTRPGs and reading fantasy novels, I'm also a fan of sorcery. A couple of...
Joining the Blaugust Discord
There is an achievement in this year's Blaugust you can earn for joining the dedicated Discord server that Bel set up for Blaugust. Several of the other achievements are wrapped up in participating on the server. Even with this list, I admit I was hesitant to...
I Got Nothin or Dialing it In
If you find yourself staring a blank page with no words to share or very little time to write (that is me this morning), it doesn't mean you can't get started and then edit your post to flesh it out more later. For some people this means saving it as a draft, but if...
Something to Tweet About
Good morning from day 2 of Blaugust. I started the day out staring at a blank page, not sure what I was going to write about. Usually when that happens, I head to my screenshots folders to see what shots I have taken in my recent gameplay. I had a few from No Man's...
The Who, What and Why of Blaugust for Me
Way back in 2011, I started spending more time on Twitter and I began to follow a few people who enjoyed the types of games and books I like. A few of them were bloggers as well and I thought it was a great way to share some screen shots and get some of my enthusiasm...
Reasons to Blog – Blaugust 2022 Achievements
Let's Get Started - It Begins With Intent I have to thank Belghast of Tales of the Aggronaut for once again organizing the Blaugust event this year. He has been herding we blogging cats for many years now and I'm glad he's willing to stick with it. I love the new...
Life in MMO Limbo
It feels a bit strange to be in MMO limbo, watching past gaming friends go back to old pursuits (WoW), watching current gaming friends start to drop subs and vanish, and feeling at loose ends. It gets harder to stand my ground where WoW is concerned, but the reasons I...
Getting rid of the ads
I haven't been here for... a WHILE now, as any of you who might still follow me have noticed. I loaded the site to get the URL and UGH, the ads are obnoxious. I'm going to set up a self-hosted WordPress site in the near future and stop subjecting you to the blinking,...
Social Play vs Toxic Players
New Banners in Anthem's Fort Tarsis I've been playing a new game lately, Anthem by Bioware, and with any new content and the discussions surrounding it, I start to analyze the experience. One of the aspects I find both intriguing and frustrating about Anthem is...
Fighting Monthly Sub Conditioning
I had the chance to play several hours of content over a couple of weekends in the demo version of the upcoming BioWare game Anthem. Wow, I had no idea how much I was missing flying around in an expansive and beautiful game world. I have played in many open world type...
