I’ve been busy

Wow, look at that. Two months really fly by quick. I’ve been neglecting this blog something fierce, so I figure a short update is in order. I’m not planning on making a concentrated effort to start blogging again anytime soon. It’s on the back burner as far as my priorities go with life, and there’s…

Conquistadors of Telara

  Hail Telarans! I’ve had some Conquest matches under my belt now. The battlefields are littered with the bodies of my corpse as I’ve respawned over and over again. Aye, the PvP in the game has not changed, at least, not from my view. Now there’s simply more people to zerg into balls of death…

Good Ol’ MMO Wanderlust

Not just MMO’s either, but gaming in general. I’ve been in that weird state inbetween games where the one you’re playing is doing just fine, but there’s something else out there. Calling like a distant song floating in on the wind over hills of supposedly greener grasses. It’s all very Dutch in visualization which makes…

Without A Soul… Train

 I’ve noticed a common complaint of people recently returning to Rift is that the game is nice, and polished, and has everything they can think of, but it’s missing something. They can’t tell you what that something is specifically, so it’s just referred to as the soul of the game (the irony is not lost…

68 Links of Love

About two weeks ago I had a post about how I set up and maintain my blog roll. Now that it’s been a while since the NBI finally ended I’ve been able to look comprehensively at who was sticking around in the NBI, who I wanted to follow that generally met my guidelines, and where…

Guilds in WvW

Most of my weekend was spent in a hot little room in the middle of apple-pie-America-ville Ohio (that shit was twilight zone white-america creepy) playing Guild Wars and being ridiculously drunk or hung over, and occasionally both. Now I’ve got a lot of practice with keeping my wits about me when mercilessly hammering away at…

Rift: Storm Legion Expansion Announced!

I thought maybe there was a bit of exaggeration going on with the last update on Rift. The guy who had received a box full of punny trinkets inferred them as a full on raging expansion for the game. A full 10 new levels, new zones, new raids. I mean really, I generally keep my…

Standards in Blogrolling #NBI

A while back I watched a TED talk (If you don’t know what that is, go educate yourself immediately) on the effects of our media consumption habits weighted against our ability to use Google effectively. Google is more and more becoming a socially and habitually influenced search engine that wants to find you things most…

Rift Expansion is Inevitable

Yeah, you read that right. Rift is breaking it out old school with an honest to goodness full on raging expansion! New cities, zones, souls, prism thingies, and probably a cape slot too! PCGamer has the scoop  What are they basing this outlandish theory on? One part is Trion being the biggest badass on the…

Pile of #NBIMMO Links

Just gonna leave this here… Eventually I’ll get around to adding various ones to my RSS reader, then double-eventually updating my blogroll to the right. I’m not saying I’ll be reading all of these, definitely a handful. Eventually.  Adamant Nomad Aggrolicious Auction House on Farm! Altaclysmic AntiPlasmaFrequency The Blue Haired Geek Backseat Game design Bad…
