Return of Reckoning

This project is going rather well. http://www.returnofreckoning.com First and foremost, this is an ALPHA private server. There are a LOT of things that do not work currently. It’s also hosted in EU, so there’s some slight lag and mob pathing is a little funky. There is a handful of dedicated developers that work on the game, along…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 5

Finally wrapping up this mini series of reviews. Maybe by now Raptr will have their 2013 gaming summaries finished, or maybe they’re just not doing them at all. I rather liked what they did last year even though it wasn’t particular packed with data. Seems like it would be right up their alley to continue…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 4

Historically this time of the year is one of my most productive. Coming off the new year blogging is a bit stronger in general as everyone is taking a look at what’s gone down the year before. 2013 gave me very few games to laser focus on, even in spite of trying out several MMOs.…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 3

The nice thing about breaking up what would usually be one giant post for me, is that I get 5 much smaller and more easily managed posts that I essentially write all at the same time anyway. It’s January in 2014! This is like, when I promise to increase my volume of posts and shit!…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 2

Here’s the next set of my the games that I’ve gotten an “Experienced” or higher rating from Raptr this year. As we go further back through the year, you can expect I’ve let many of my memories fade into the hazy drunken part of my memories. Of course, some of these games inflicted their own…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 1

Last year I did this thing where I went through Raptr and picked out all the games that I was able to achieve an “Experienced” rating on, then reviewed them. Well, if you hadn’t guessed, I’m going to do that again. Foreshadowing! This year rounded out to an even 25 games that I got as…

Changing The Way You Crit

This is one of the recent changes that I’ve made to my campaign that just plain works well and makes sense. The way we used to crit in D&D was based on the natural 20 roll, and dealt double damage. That’s just how we’ve always done it. 20 hits anything, always does double damage. It…

Warframe Review and Gameplay Video

I just realized that I never bothered to crosspost this video to the blog. I’ve been playing the crap out of this game for the past couple of weeks in my spare time. It’s got me hooked something fierce and right on the verge of spending money for some of the more elusive things. Here,…

FarCry 3 Gameplay Video

I’ve given up on using OBS for recording review and gameplay videos. Perhaps it wasn’t as apparent to me because of the lower quality games that I’ve done reviews on, but in FarCry 3 I just couldn’t handle it. Instead I’ve gone back to using FRAPS, which I have a full license for, to do…

Jet Set Radio! Gameplay Review with Grimnir

Jet Set Radio is one of the many games that launched with the Dreamcast, and my GOD did this game age with grace and dignity. I’m not going to waste a whole lot of words here when you could just be watching me ramble pointlessly. The gameplay trumps these graphics all day every day, but…
