When All Else Fails, Dig

I might take another crack at this Let’s Play/Livestreaming thing in the short future, so I decided to see whether or not Livestream is going to behave itself this time around. At any rate, Minecraft was my test platform of choice and once I started rolling… well, I just made a tour of my single…

DLC and Compromise

You bastards. You know who you are. Peddlers. Charlatans. Vendors of 20$/hour DLC. Whatever happened to REAL expansions? It was one thing back in the day to sell expansions as smaller-than-the-original-game pieces of content that extended a story out with new areas, gameplay, mechanics, and all that other good stuff. Sometimes they would cost upwards…

Rift Through 2012

Pardon me while I go find my jaw, it hit the floor a few minutes ago. Here, watch this in the meantime. Man, I think I’m going to need some ice. Trion why? Why are you doing this to the MMO community? Don’t you know we’ve been trained to expect hyped mediocrity and failure as…

Deep Looks: The Inquisitor

Many moons ago, back when Grim was a more productive blogger and slightly more sane member of a workforce that didn’t make him /facepalm on a daily basis there was a series of posts called Deep Looks. If by series you mean a half baked pair of posts looking at two Cleric souls anyway. I…

Planned Changes for Clerics in 1.7

It’s been a while in-between posts again. Grim has been lazy. Bad Grim! I swear I have a couple sitting in the drafts folder, but they’re mostly about the awesomeness of 1.6, and now that 1.6 is drawing to a close it feels a bit weird to toss them out there. Maybe I should, I’m…

Feeling Dirty

I’m a fan of the gritty, dirty, leans-towards-realistic art style when it comes to video games. If something looks like it’s coated in plastic, or is just too clean for it’s own good, I’ll probably pass on it. Initially at least. I like to be deeply immersed in my gaming experience, and the visual art…

Frrrrriday

It’s another end of the week at the end of the year. I’m just sitting around watching the twitter stream scroll by while listening to some last.fm and thinking to myself. It’s been a while since I’ve made a post. Well here you go, for your pleasure I’ll ramble on about what’s been going down…

Skyrim Impressions (vague spoilers)

Because if anything, this game is very impressive. When you hold it against other games from the past 5 years, there is really nothing revolutionary going on. Bethesda didn’t re-invent the wheel with the graphics here, they just threw a bunch of paint on it. Nice thing is, they’re goddamn artists at what they do,…

The Third Realm

Blaq (http://zewar.wordpress.com) was talking about the third realm in EA’s latest Wrath of Heroes which kicked me in the head a little bit about the good ol’ days. Right, well that’s not really fair. WoH merely has three teams and no realms to speak of. Let’s not get me started on kicking inbred puppies, I’m…

The More You Know!

First off, if you follow me on Twitter you may occasionally see tweets from me hocking a Kickstarter project written by the leader of Iniquity. Let me just vomit forth a few links here in case you’re not a-tweetin’ (you fool!). Ferrel on TwitterThe BlogKickstarter ProjectSome Creepy Youtube Video of a DragonThe Podcast Needless to say,…
