PAX East – Day Four – Meet Your Idols

The last day in Boston. Well, we woke up on time, had everything packed, and made our way quite uneventfully out of the hotel and on the road to the convention center. Sorry, nothing cute to report in the morning hours. I’m not one to mess around when check-out time is concerned. Too expensive. The…

PAX East – Day Three – Thundercats Ho!

I forgot for a while what it was like to have a TV in the bedroom, let alone not have a controlling factor in what was on it. I don’t mind the new Thundercats cartoon actually, it’s really quite well done. For the first 20 minutes or so that I contemplated getting out from under…

PAX East – Day Two – Where Are My Pants?

Is this real life? Who the hell left the window curtains open? God damn the sun is burning holes in the sheets. My white flesh cannot take this nonsense. Oh, legs, you need to work for a minute. Straighten out a bit, ow. Ow. Ok, fine, I’ll just hobble over here using the bed as…

PAX East – Day One – The Ride

This isn’t actually the day one that you’re thinking of. You see, Grim is from Detroit, and if there’s anything we like to do more, it’s drive. It’s the motor city, and chances are if you live in or around it, someone in your immediate family works for the auto industry. Day one for me…

Suckered For Cheap Steam Games

I’ll keep this one short-ish. (edit: I lied)  Grats to Dungeon Siege 3 and Steam for wasting approximately 5 hours of my life over the past two days. This game was definitely not for me. Isometric dungeon crawler where the dungeons are straight lines and the fights are copypasta swarms. It’s just a scrolling scenery…

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…
