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…

Wanna Have A Three Way?

Three faction PvP. Who even likes that stuff anyway? You get bits all tangled together, everyone looks the same, what color are we supposed to be?These objectives are complicated and hard! Why do I keep getting double teamed? Well, that’s the way I like it, and it seems like the bandwagon is loading up quick.…

#NBIMMO Damn it feels good to be a Blogger

Maybe it was all just a conspiracy to get us to be nice to each other for a solid month and somehow change the underlying cynicism of blogging entirely… What? No, no, don’t mind my errant rambling. I’m sure it’s nothing. Let’s just get onto the part where I tell you things about blogging shall…

NBI in the Month of May

Ah, Nude Body Inspectors, just in time for the weather to start warming up and the ladies to wear things a little more comfortable. Wait, no… that’s not at all what NBI is for. Lets try that again. It’s been a while since we had a chance, as a blogging community, to encourage those of…

20 Levels of TERA

Jumping straight into things, as I’ve put off this post for far too long now. TERA is not a game that I’ll be playing in the future. I had a good taste of the “beta” and there’s a pile of things that I’d rather not do for a couple thousand hours. The combat is not…

Is 1.8 Letting the Beat Drop?

I’ve only had one solid play session since 1.8 hit, and tonight we’re going to take a crack at the new raid zone, but I have some initial impressions. First off, if you feel like your class got nerfed, suck it up and deal with it. Warriors, I’m talking about you. You are not a…
