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…

Yeah that’s right. You can double check your url at the top of the page (if you actually wander all the way to the site), it’s a new post! Let me say, part of the lack of posting has something to do with the lack of criticism I can throw at my current game of…

I wanted to make a post here about how incredibly bat shit insane the development pace has been at Trion regarding Rift. We’re seeing content being pumped out in a matter of months where other companies would be looking at 6-8 months. In the past half year Rift has had no less than four major…

Crafting in Rift is good in the sense that it does pretty much what you would expect for a AAA MMO crafting system. Up until you hit level 50 crafting is quite passable. Things scale well, new recipes unlock at a pleasant pace, and the ingredients have a proper drop rate for the pace you acquire…

Last night after the quite successful GSB run with the guild (cleared the first two bosses in a reasonable amount of time) we had a solid run with some of the guys in DD. Only a couple minutes off from the Rapid Assault which we could definitely get if we were more confident about running…

A couple weeks ago now I started to do some livestreaming of dungeon runs back when I started up Guardian characters on Byriel with the Iniquity guild. Well, I’m pleased that my crew of guys have all finally reached L50 and are reasonably geared out. That means I’m going to start running more of the…

The breakneck pace that I’ve been hitting lately as far as leveling goes has mostly been in the form of questing. Now I’ll admit I don’t always pay attention to why I’m doing quests, or even the rewards that come from them, but when I stop to read a bit of the text it does…

I’ve tossed in my Defiant towel, for now at least. The Aussie guild that I bounced over to was just keeping me up way too late at night. Probably wasn’t healthy for me in the long run to work 5 days a week on 4 hours of sleep each night. I suppose I could have…

Last night was probably one of my most active nights of Rift yet. There’s a couple things I want to touch on, but almost all of it is over the 1.2 patch. The blog hasn’t been as active lately. Been busy drinking. Watching the Red Wings finish out an amazing series against San Jose. Getting…

Sometimes I think the Internet just hates me a little. I was well on my way to posting my experiences with the Shaman and the power goes out at my workplace on exactly 6 PCs near me. 4 of which were unused entirely, and the 5th was only powering a monitoring dashboard that automatically restarted…
