- [Just a Little Nod to Blaugust 2025](https://www.gamerlady.blog/just-a-little-nod-to-blaugust-2025/) - It is Blaugust time, the August festival of blogging. This initiative was started many years ago by Belghast. For 2025, it is up and running again thanks to a wonderful community of bloggers who stepped up to help out. You can read a bit about the change in organizers this year, and maybe post some

- [Gaming Into the End of 2023](https://www.gamerlady.blog/gaming-into-the-end-of-2023/) - My pace of blog posts has certainly slowed toward the end of this year. I've been playing games, just nothing that inspires tips and tricks posts, or exciting experiences to talk about. As we end the year, I thought I'd at least wrap up with a few thoughts about what I've been playing. My last
- [Starfield is Just a Good Not Great Game](https://www.gamerlady.blog/starfield-is-just-good-not-great/) - Starfield is a pretty good game and one I can enjoy, but it is ONLY a pretty good game. It has missed the mark of being a great game. I came to the realization that they structured the game expecting us to play it again on a New Game plus mode, but I don't think
- [Starfield Tip Assigning Crew to Outposts](https://www.gamerlady.blog/starfield-tip-assigning-crew-to-outposts/) - I'm writing a quick post to provide a tip on how to assign a crew member to an outpost in Starfield. Let's say you recruit a crew member who has the Outpost Management skill, so you build an outpost so she has something to manage. Here is what I had to do in order to
- [Oddly Discontented the Starfield Edition](https://www.gamerlady.blog/oddly-discontented-the-starfield-edition/) - I took a walk around the first nice city we get to in Starfield last night. It is quite pretty at night and it was a peaceful walk. I talked to a few people, did some shopping, looked around the Lodge and then I just signed out of the game... I stared at my library
- [Looking Forward Beyond Blaugust](https://www.gamerlady.blog/looking-forward-beyond-blaugust/) - Today I am using one of the Blaugust prompts to not only plan ahead for my blog writing, but to talk about an upcoming game. The prompt is "What are you looking forward to the most over the course of the next year?" I have a hard time coming up with "the most" for any
- [Wrapping up Blaugust 2023 With Lessons Learned and Achievements](https://www.gamerlady.blog/wrapping-up-blaugust-2023-with-lessons-learned-and-achievements/) - The final week of Blaugust is reserved for talking about lessons learned - a week that acts as a bit of a cool down so that we can share our own experiences with this year's blogging. While I haven't earned every achievement on the list, I'm happy that I met my personal goals and posted
- [What Motivates Us - Game Achievements](https://www.gamerlady.blog/what-motivates-us-game-achievements/) - I've been thinking about what makes me finish games, what makes me play them again, and what makes me leave them to gather dust. I used to feel compelled to at least finish a game I'd started, finish reading a book to the end, or clean my plate. I'd consider myself a completionist, but I
- [Blaugust Week 4: The Irony of My Lack of Motivation](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blaugust-week-4-the-irony-of-my-lack-of-motivation/) - Here we are in the week of Blaugust dedicated to motivation, and I have put off writing anything for 5 days. The irony is not lost on me. I hope I'll still get in a second post this week, but just sitting down to write this one has only happened because it is Blaugust and
- [Appreciating Game Communities Part Two](https://www.gamerlady.blog/appreciating-game-communities-part-two/) - I want to show some appreciation this week to the glue that has held my MMO experience together. Game communities and guilds are the reason I've kept playing MMOs. Group content and raiding have held my interest in some games well beyond the point where the content in the game was no longer engaging by
- [Blaugust 2023 Week 3: The Creators of Community](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blaugust-2023-week-3-the-creators-of-community/) - Week 3 of Blaugust is creative appreciation week. There are so many ways to define who and what to appreciate during a week like this one, and yet it is one of the hardest weeks for many of us to do. Who do we shine the spotlight on? Is it fellow bloggers, game makers, musicians,
- [Getting Weepy, in a Good Way](https://www.gamerlady.blog/getting-weepy-in-a-good-way/) - I am not ashamed to admit that a good book, show, or game can make me absolutely bawl. In fact, I LOVE that they can make such a profound emotional connection with me. When I first read Guy Gavriel Kay's final book of the Fionavar Tapestry series, the Darkest Road, not only did I read
- [Blaugust2023 Week 2: Getting to Know GamerLadyP](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blaugust2023-week-2-getting-to-know-gamerladyp/) - Welcome to week 2 of Blaugust 2023. So far I am on track for my goal this year, which is to post at least twice a week during the festival. I've also managed to read and comment on several posts for our other participants. As of this morning's update from Belghast, we are very close
- [The Best Laid Plans (don't stand up to beta releases)](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-best-laid-plans-dont-stand-up-to-beta-releases/) - I had planned to share some initial impressions about the closed beta for Palia in today's post. However, I insist on playing a game for a few hours before I start sharing my impressions. They've had a fairly big issue to resolve with player housing plots, and have closed down the servers for now to
- [Games Backlog Update: Finally Playing New World](https://www.gamerlady.blog/games-backlog-update-finally-playing-new-world/) - I had a little break after I finished up Solasta's main game and before Palia beta and Baldur's Gate 3, so I decided to give New World another shot. I was originally not very impressed with New World. I played the early access beta and was frustrated with the crowding, resource scramble, and how they
- [Blaugust 2023 Welcomes New and Old](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blaugust-2023-welcomes-new-and-old/) - Welcome to the August blogging madness fondly known (for 10 years now!) as Blaugust. So far this year we have 76 signed up to participate with 32 who are doing Blaugust for the first time. Everyone is welcome to join at any point during the month of August. How often you post is entirely up
- [Saving the list of 2022 Blaugustians](https://www.gamerlady.blog/saving-the-list-of-2022-blaugustians/) - Blaugust 2022 Blogroll Instead of just replacing my blogroll with the latest year, I thought that this year I would keep the list to refer back to later. Enjoy some very active and great bloggers, many of whom come back each year. If you would like the details for the 2023 Blaugust or the sign
- [More Game Backlog Thoughts](https://www.gamerlady.blog/more-game-backlog-thoughts/) - Time flies, right? I had been trying to post at least monthly but May and June just slipped through my fingers. During that time I finished playing Cyberpunk 2077 and really enjoyed it. I will eventually go back and play through different endings and will most likely pick up the upcoming DLC once it is
- [Getting Into My Game Library Backlog Starting With Cyberpunk 2077](https://www.gamerlady.blog/getting-into-my-game-library-backlog-starting-with-cyberpunk-2077/) - It feels a bit weird to say/admit, but I'm not paying a monthly sub for any MMO right now. It has been a while since I could say that. While I have occasional bouts of FOMO, it gets easier each day to just put those games aside. It helps that I have a pretty big
- [End of An Era Or Is It a Saga?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/end-of-an-era-or-is-it-a-saga/) - It has been several days since I last logged in to Star Wars the Old Republic after allowing my subscription to expire at the end of March. For a while now I had been logging in regularly to do a few daily "chores," but not really playing the game. When they announced a new season
- [Looking for the Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/looking-for-the-hang-glider-in-sons-of-the-forest/) - Wondering where the Hang Glider is in Sons of the Forest. I lucked out and came across the location and have shared it here.
- [Sons of the Forest Early Tips](https://www.gamerlady.blog/sons-of-the-forest-early-tips/) - Need help with Sons of the Forest? Need to build arrows and get feathers? Want a second pistol? Build a birdhouse to get feathers, you don't need to waste time hunting birds.
- [Still Undecided About Dragonflight](https://www.gamerlady.blog/still-undecided-about-dragonflight/) - As the title says, I still haven't made up my mind about long term play in WoW's latest expansion. I have allowed my sub to renew once, and I will probably let it renew again at the end of this month. For a little while it looked like I was done, but then I started
- [WRUP December in Screenshots](https://www.gamerlady.blog/wrup-december-in-screenshots/) - A few new game updates this month have kept me cycling between games. Valheim put out Mistlands, and we've been playing on a small friends only server. Rather than start from scratch, we all built up to the point where we'd left off with Plains level gear. I found a small section of plains at
- [Cautiously Optimistic about Dragonflight](https://www.gamerlady.blog/cautiously-optimistic-about-dragonflight/) - Today is the launch of WoW's newest game expansion, Dragonflight. After looking at the changes made by the company, not only to their internal culture and equity, but also to their game philosophy, my hubby and I bought the expansion and played through some of the pre-patch content to prepare. I am cautiously, curiously optimistic
- [Owning Your Domain and Your Content](https://www.gamerlady.blog/owning-your-domain-and-your-content/) - I've mentioned this a few times in a few places, but I really believe that if you are committed to being connected to people through social spaces, you need to start with your own self-hosted website. There is an entire content ownership initiative called the IndieWeb that teaches people how to own a site, then
- [Where Will We Feed Our FOMO Next?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/where-will-we-feed-our-fomo-next/) - I'm seeing signs of people preparing to leave Twitter again. I suppose we might see the site rapidly sold off again to someone else, but it does look like it is actually changing hands this week. Many of us have made the assumption that this is a bad thing. I'm expecting to get even more
- [When Did Grounded Jump the Shark?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/when-did-grounded-jump-the-shark/) - When I first started playing Grounded, back in early access testing and even early in the full game release, I was having a lot of fun with the game. Being this tiny person, walking on grass stalks, jumping on clover leaves and floating with dandelion tufts was nifty. Even harvesting bug guts and wearing them
- [Little Annoying Things That Add Up - The No Man's Sky Edition](https://www.gamerlady.blog/little-annoying-things-that-add-up-the-no-mans-sky-edition/) - After about 230 hours of playing No Man's Sky, I think I may be done with the game. While I admire the developers for their dedication and for putting out content updates so regularly, this is one game where you pretty quickly come to realize that you are playing the same thing over and over
- [Reasons to Blog - Blaugust 2022 Achievements](https://www.gamerlady.blog/reasons-to-blog-blaugust-2022/) - [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] Let’s Get Started – It Begins With Intent I have to thank Belghast of Tales of the Aggronaut for once again organizing the Blaugust event this year. He has
- [Blaugust 2022 Wrap up Week - Lessons Learned](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blaugust-2022-wrap-up-week-lessons-learned/) - Considering how much I've put off writing this post, I think my number one lesson learned is that I don't like evaluating my experiences or deciding what lessons I have learned. Regardless, there are a few things I can take away from my participation in Blaugust this year. As I stated early on, it all
- [Lack of Motivation to Play](https://www.gamerlady.blog/lack-of-motivation-to-play/) - In this week of discussing motivation, I want to talk a little bit about being de-motivated. I read an article today on Massively OP talking about how Blizzard can't really control the factors that might draw past dedicated WoW raiders back into the game. I'm definitely one of the people this article is talking about.
- [Staying Motivated Going Into Blaugust2022 Week 4](https://www.gamerlady.blog/staying-motivated-going-into-blaugust2022-week-4/) - Blaugust Week 4 is here, and I haven't posted every day, in fact, once I decided not to post every day, my frequency has dropped off quite a bit. I still want to stay motivated to participate and write, but I've set more realistic goals going into the final stretch of this month. This week's
- [More About Music - VAs With Amazing Singing Voices](https://www.gamerlady.blog/more-about-music-vas-with-amazing-singing-voices/) - Today I'm going to write a bit about Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, the Daughter of the Sea, and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical which was originally called Chorus when I backed it on Fig. Backing Summerfall Studios and their RP musical was a no brainer for me, especially with the people involved in bringing the
- [Creative Appreciation Week - Blaugust 2022 Week 3](https://www.gamerlady.blog/creative-appreciation-week-blaugust-2022-week-3/) - Welcome to week 3 of Blaugust 2022. For this week's writing prompt, which gains us the Creative Appreciation Blaugchievement, I'm talking about game music, and specifically about a podcast that celebrates it called Battle Bards. Creative Appreciation – This one is gained by writing a blog post based on the third week’s theme of creative appreciation.
- [Backdating and Scheduling Posts in WordPress](https://www.gamerlady.blog/backdating-and-scheduling-posts-in-wordpress/) - I was going to leave a few gaps in my Blaugust posts because there will be days when I can't post. However, I don't HAVE to do that thanks to a lovely little feature in WordPress that allows you to set a specific publish date on your posts. Today is the 14th, I have some
- [Popular Games I Can't Finish - It's not you, it's me](https://www.gamerlady.blog/popular-unfinished-games/) - There are quite a few games in my various game service libraries that I've never finished. Even more that I own but haven't installed yet, but that's a whole other problem. Today I'm going to talk about games that I started to play but never finished. Many of these games are highly rated, beloved, great
- [Sad Abandoned Blogs - The 8bitkitchen Edition](https://www.gamerlady.blog/sad-abandoned-blogs-the-8bitkitchen-edition/) - As I've read several of the bios and about pages of other Blaugust participants, I've noticed that quite a few of us have dabbled in more than one blog. I thought I'd share one of my favorite, though sadly abandoned, past collaborative efforts. 8bit Kitchen was a collaborative food & drink site, run by a
- [Origin Stories - Books That Shaped Me](https://www.gamerlady.blog/origin-stories-books-that-shaped-me/) - I was actually going to skip posting today, but several authors on Twitter are talking about Book Lover's Day and books that shaped their love of reading, and I had to chime in with at least something. I've been an avid reader for most of my life. When I was young my family would read
- [Origin Stories - Past, Present, Future Games](https://www.gamerlady.blog/origin-stories-past-present-future-games/) - This week's theme is about introductions and it was fun to go back through my photo folders to find some things to share. Today is about games. When I was young I was a bit of an anomaly, more interested in my brother's Dungeons and Dragons stuff than I was in the barbies my mom
- [Wrapping Up Week 1 of Blaugust2022](https://www.gamerlady.blog/wrapping-up-week-1-of-blaugust2022/) - With a bit more time on my hands this weekend, I've been able to read and comment on a few more of the Blaugust posts. I still have a lot more to enjoy, but I'm taking my time and probably won't catch up with all of them until sometime in September. You think I'm exaggerating?
- [Survival Games on Steam Sale](https://www.gamerlady.blog/survival-games-on-steam-sale/) - There are quite a few survival games on Steam's Survival Fest sale, going for the next two days. If that is your favorite type of game, you probably have many of them already. But it might be worth checking out for some of the newer releases. I'm considering getting V Rising since my Valheim playing
- [And Now for Something Completely... Not Gaming](https://www.gamerlady.blog/and-now-for-something-completely-not-gaming/) - If you've read my bio, then you know that I'm part of a medieval recreation group called the SCA and have been for years. So it will come as no big surprise that I like swords. As a fan of TTRPGs and reading fantasy novels, I'm also a fan of sorcery. A couple of months
- [I Got Nothin or Dialing it In](https://www.gamerlady.blog/i-got-nothin-or-dialing-it-in/) - If you find yourself staring a blank page with no words to share or very little time to write (that is me this morning), it doesn't mean you can't get started and then edit your post to flesh it out more later. For some people this means saving it as a draft, but if you
- [Joining the Blaugust Discord](https://www.gamerlady.blog/joining-the-blaugust-discord/) - There is an achievement in this year's Blaugust you can earn for joining the dedicated Discord server that Bel set up for Blaugust. Several of the other achievements are wrapped up in participating on the server. Even with this list, I admit I was hesitant to join. I have a LOT of Discord servers already
- [Something to Tweet About](https://www.gamerlady.blog/something-to-tweet-about/) - Good morning from day 2 of Blaugust. I started the day out staring at a blank page, not sure what I was going to write about. Usually when that happens, I head to my screenshots folders to see what shots I have taken in my recent gameplay. I had a few from No Man's Sky,
- [Fighting Monthly Sub Conditioning](https://www.gamerlady.blog/fighting-monthly-sub-conditioning/) - I had the chance to play several hours of content over a couple of weekends in the demo version of the upcoming BioWare game Anthem. Wow, I had no idea how much I was missing flying around in an expansive and beautiful game world. I have played in many open world type games, some with
- [The Who, What and Why of Blaugust for Me](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-who-what-and-why-of-blaugust-for-me/) - Way back in 2011, I started spending more time on Twitter and I began to follow a few people who enjoyed the types of games and books I like. A few of them were bloggers as well and I thought it was a great way to share some screen shots and get some of my
- [Life in MMO Limbo](https://www.gamerlady.blog/life-in-mmo-limbo/) - It feels a bit strange to be in MMO limbo, watching past gaming friends go back to old pursuits (WoW), watching current gaming friends start to drop subs and vanish, and feeling at loose ends. It gets harder to stand my ground where WoW is concerned, but the reasons I left are still there and
- [Social Play vs Toxic Players](https://www.gamerlady.blog/social-play-vs-toxic-players/) - I've been playing a new game lately, Anthem by Bioware, and with any new content and the discussions surrounding it, I start to analyze the experience. One of the aspects I find both intriguing and frustrating about Anthem is it's social systems. When compared to those within an MMO, Anthem's feel extremely limited. It makes
- [Getting rid of the ads](https://www.gamerlady.blog/getting-rid-of-the-ads/) - I haven't been here for... a WHILE now, as any of you who might still follow me have noticed. I loaded the site to get the URL and UGH, the ads are obnoxious. I'm going to set up a self-hosted WordPress site in the near future and stop subjecting you to the blinking, popping, banner-y
- [WoW Class Mounts](https://www.gamerlady.blog/wow-class-mounts/) - I know, it has been ages since I wrote anything on my blog. Wasting my time has prompted me to share a PSA with you: Breaching the Tomb is not an account-wide achievement toward unlocking your class mount. I know I haven't had a lot of things to say for quite a while now. Games I've
- [Extra Life 2017](https://www.gamerlady.blog/extra-life-2017/) - I know, this blog place has been abandoned. I apologize for only popping in here for random requests. However, for any of you still paying attention here, I want to invite you to support Extra Life this year. If you haven't donated yet, (I know there are many gamers who are supporting the charity event),
- [Extra Life - Come Have Fun](https://www.gamerlady.blog/extra-life-come-have-fun/) - This is my first year of gaming for Extra Life. Unholy Alliance/Wookiee Mistake have done a great job organizing a fun day for us in SWTOR. Come support our team! http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=widgets.250x250minimal&participantID=240243
- [Romance As a Game Motivation](https://www.gamerlady.blog/romance-as-a-game-motivation/) - Today's post is brought to you by the hopeless romantic in me, who will replay games if they do a great job of making me fall in love with the characters. Here are a few images that speak for themselves. Enjoy. :)
- [Playing Game Characters Against My Nature](https://www.gamerlady.blog/playing-game-characters-against-my-nature/) - I admit it, in the dark side/light side equation, I'm pretty far into the light side of things by nature. The characters I relate to the most in games, books and movies tend to be heroic and look out for others more than themselves. I think that is why I really like Mal from Firefly
- [Strolling Rakata Prime](https://www.gamerlady.blog/strolling-rakata-prime/) - Today is a screen capture day. Some days I'm willing to re-run content just to take in the views. Rakata Prime is one of those places. I wish we'd had more to do than just one brief visit. I'd love to explore its ship graveyard. Like ruined Taris, there are towering hulks on the horizon,
- [Goals, Motivations, and Achievements](https://www.gamerlady.blog/goals-motivations-and-achievements/) - I'm sure there are studies about this topic but I'm still drinking my coffee and feeling lazy this morning. Maybe I'll find and link some later. For now, I'm just happy to be sticking to my guns about blogging again on a regular basis. I've played my female Sith Warrior through the initial 9 chapters
- [Blogging When the Gaming is Meh](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blogging-when-the-gaming-is-meh/) - Hello there you few brave souls who have stuck with me through the *crickets* and sounds of silence my blog has become. I recently realized how much I've missed blogging, so I made a commitment to start writing again. I'm taking an hour a week to see how much I can get done, both here
- [SWTOR Companion Recruitment - A Kindly Old Monster (Dr. Lokin)](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-companion-recruitment-a-kindly-old-monster-dr-lokin/) - If you haven't played through to the end of chapter 9 in Knights of the Fallen Empire in SWTOR yet, you may want to hold off on reading this. I'll assume that anyone who is reading further is actually working on recruiting new companions for the alliance against the Fallen Empire. Edit: With patch 4.1
- [Eternity Vault Glitches - Or, Why Is Nothing Ever Simple?!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/eternity-vault-glitches-or-why-is-nothing-ever-simple/) - Very trippy walking on air. With the new optimization settings in SWTOR's latest patch, you'd think all graphics would perform better, right? Not so, as our guild discovered the hard way in a couple of nightmare Eternity Vault runs last night to finish up some achievements. We went in figuring it would be a breeze
- [SWTOR Light Side, Dark Side and Grey](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-light-side-dark-side-and-grey/) - In one small way at least, SWTOR has acknowledged a "grey" aligned character that I played as fully neutral. I have a really evil Sith Inquisitor, a laid back nice guy Sith Inquisitor, and now a pragmatic and diplomatic (yet fully willing to shock you into submission) Sith Inquisitor. She still doesn't have neutrally aligned
- [Slogging and Trolling and Griefers Cause Anti Nostalgia](https://www.gamerlady.blog/slogging-and-trolling-and-griefers-cause-anti-nostalgia/) - Hubby and I took advantage of a 7 day return to WoW code and have been doing a bit of questing in the old stomping grounds. We finished playing some characters we started out with when we bought the Pandaria expansion. I only got my Shaman to level 87 before my buy time expired and
- [Do You Want to Blaugust?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/do-you-want-to-blaugust/) - While I am not signed up for the 1-post-every-day-this-month blogging extravaganza that is Blaugust, I would encourage some of you who want a reason to blog more to check it out on Tales of the Aggronaut. As @Belghast says "This contest is all about longevity and frequency and not necessarily about what you are writing.
- [Tatooine: The Gaudy Desert Stronghold](https://www.gamerlady.blog/tatooine-the-gaudy-desert-stronghold/) - When I picture Tatooine, I picture a place that is austere, harsh, sandstone walls, Jawas. I don't picture it like my current stronghold is now; papered in gaudy glowing trophies and surrounded by slot machines. Apparently, enough people complained about not having a large enough maximum hook allocation for this austere place, and BioWare went
- [Pluto Flyby and Fun Coverage](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pluto-flyby-and-fun-coverage/) - Today marked another milestone in human kinds drive to explore and understand our solar system when a space craft we launched in 2006 finally reached its destination and turned blurry and vague images of Pluto into amazingly clear images.

The Secret World](https://www.gamerlady.blog/updating-and-updating-and-still-more-updating-the-secret-world/) - Every time I open my Origin client to play one of my Bioware games, I see the lady in red from my The Secret World launcher. While I've hidden the other Origin games I don't play, that one has remained on the screen. I have considered playing it a few times lately, but usually in
- [Standard Armors in SWTOR](https://www.gamerlady.blog/standard-armors-in-swtor/) - I always wondered why the designers made all of the white quality armors in Star Wars the Old Republic, that you can buy from light, medium and heavy vendors on most planets. They give armor values, but no stat boosts. They've always seemed useless to me, until now. I have started looking more closely at
- [The NBI 2015 Safari: My Roundup and Rejects](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-nbi-2015-safari-my-roundup-and-rejects/) - The Screen Shot Safari has been a fun way to participate in this month's Newbie Blogger Initiative. I hope that many of you found some great new blogs to read and new bloggers to enjoy and follow. I have yet to even scratch the surface of the fun posts that are out there. The organizers
- [Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit The Bonus, Bonus Round – #NBI2015Safari](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pixel-places-id-love-to-visit-the-bonus-bonus-round-nbi2015safari/) - Well, Murf threw open the floodgates today and since there is one category left that I haven't used, Landscapes, I figured I'd add a shot for it. This one was amazingly hard to narrow down to one choice. In the end, I picked a game I hadn't featured yet and an environmental effect that blew
- [Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit The Bonus Round – #NBI2015Safari](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pixel-places-id-love-to-visit-the-bonus-round-nbi2015safari/) - I know, I've already done 4 screen shots, but we have an extra Saturday this month, so I am going for the bonus round. Today's choice is Epic Achievements and mine is not exactly... traditional. However, I felt pretty epic at the end of this, like I'd fed the masses of Stormwind and decorated the
- [Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit Part 4 – #NBI2015Safari](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pixel-places-id-love-to-visit-part-4-nbi2015safari/) - This week I am picking the Hero/Villain option for my screen shot. Yesterday, BioWare celebrated 20 years since they were established in 1995. There were many tweets reminiscing about their games, stories, and fun times. I had been toying with the idea of doing a hero rather than a villain for my next Safari screen
- [The NBI Talkback Challenge: What Made Me A Gamer?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-nbi-talkback-challenge-what-made-me-a-gamer/) - I think I will bite for this week's talkback challenge. I also think I'm going to limit this to talking about becoming an online/computer gamer, rather than a gamer in general. I'm pretty old school when it comes to gaming. I've been playing tabletop games for longer than some of my readers have been alive.
- [Pixel Places I'd Love to Visit Part 3 - #NBI2015Safari](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pixel-places-id-love-to-visit-part-3-nbi2015safari/) - It is week three of my NBI 2015 Screen Shot Safari. The safari themes I have left are: Landscape, Selfie, Epic Achievement, Heroes or Villains. You would think these are the easiest to do but they aren't. With amazing game graphics these days, settling on a single landscape is proving too hard for me this morning,
- [Pixel Places I'd Love to Visit Part Two - #NBI2015Safari](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pixel-places-id-love-to-visit-part-two-nbi2015safari/) - Week two of the NBI 2015 Safari, and I am reaching back to old memories and screen shots again. This one is of Rift, a game with many wide open vistas and beautiful places. I managed to catch five Earth Rifts active during an event. They almost look inviting from afar, but certainly deadly up
- [SWTOR Tip: How to Not Get 12 Times XP](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-tip-how-to-not-get-12-times-xp/) - Shaddoe at MassivelyOP shared a tip today in his Hyperspace Beacon post that I found extremely helpful, so I thought I'd pass it along. Edit: Update. This module has been changed and is no longer necessary. The Gree White Acute Module vendor is gone now. I've seen a few people lamenting the rapid pace of
- [Pixel Places I'd Love to Visit ( #NBI2015Safari )](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pixel-places-id-love-to-visit-nbi2015safari/) - Murf Versus (@ctmurfy) had a fun idea for the Newbie Blogger Initiative this year to help us generate some content. Check out his post for the #NBI2015Safari details. Frankly, limiting myself to 4 themes and 4 screenshots will be the biggest challenge. Here are the themes he set for us to choose from: Landscape High Fantasy
- [Newbie Blogger Initiative (NBI) 2015 Is A Go](https://www.gamerlady.blog/newbie-blogger-initiative-nbi-2015-is-a-go/) - If any of you who follow my blog have been considering starting your own, the time is now! Today is the day! Seize the... you get the drift. Throughout the month of May, the Newbie Blogger Initiative will be active to help new game bloggers get started, pair them with mentors, share advice, and get
- [Join the Newbie Blogger Initiative revolution!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/join-the-newbie-blogger-initiative-revolution/) - I couldn't sum it up any better!
- [When Life Gives You Pink Purple Dye, Make the Most of It](https://www.gamerlady.blog/when-life-gives-you-pink-purple-dye-make-the-most-of-it/) - We all have those SWTOR companions that just get on our nerves. The backstabbers, the whiners, the overly-emo drama queens. While I would never pay the crazy high credit price to buy pink/purple dye, when the Cantina Tour boxes granted some of my characters that dye, but it was bound, I just HAD to put
- [Jetpack?! Yeah I Want a Jetpack!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/jetpack-yeah-i-want-a-jetpack/) - For some people, it is about the wardrobe. (Okay, for me too up to a point). For others, it is about the pets. For me, it is about the sweet, sweet ride. I actually did the WoW "Long Strange Trip" achievement, despite the grind, so I could get the mount it rewarded. I generally try
- [WWTYB (What Would Tempt You Back) to a Game](https://www.gamerlady.blog/wwtyb-what-would-tempt-you-back-to-a-game/) - One of my WoW mains I missed the original Twitter Q&A posed by @AlternativeChat asking what would tempt people back to Azeroth/WoW, but I've seen a couple of blog posts about it since. (Deliver Me) and (It's Always Been a Matter of Trust) I have to say that I honestly don't know what, if anything,
- [Spending Some Quality Double XP (and Agent) Time](https://www.gamerlady.blog/spending-some-quality-double-xp-and-agent-time/) - Since my hubby and I celebrate "Rebel's Valentine's Day" in March, rather than this trumped up love day in February, I'm free to spend some time in SWTOR gaining double XP this weekend. I still miss the heady days of 12 times XP, but I'll take what I can get for one of my many
- [Cool Mount/Vehicles and Motivation](https://www.gamerlady.blog/cool-mountvehicles-and-motivation/) - Well, if there is one thing that will motivate me to repeat daily quests, it is a spiffy ride. This has been true since the days of my Long Strange Trip in WoW. The Imperial Walker mounts in SWTOR certainly qualify for that category. The fact that I can get one for each faction is
- [Are We Part of A Mocktatership?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/are-we-part-of-a-mocktatership/) - I've been watching a lot of memes, gifs, Twitter rants, and other social media "commentaries" hit my feed lately. I've come to the conclusion that as a collective whole, our social media communities can be a bunch of cruel, mocking jerks. I'm calling it a mocktatership. Personally, I'm taking a "cleanse" this week and opting
- [New SWTOR Class Specific Quests in 3.0 - Spoiler Free Reactions](https://www.gamerlady.blog/new-swtor-class-specific-quests-in-3-0-spoiler-free-reactions/) - Finally got one of every class far enough in the new content to see the side quests that were unique to each class. It was nice of them to put together such a highly requested bit of content, but it was just that, a tiny bite. They brought several of the voice actors in for
- [Has It Really Been 3 Years?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/has-it-really-been-3-years/) - I can never remember the official release day of games these days, what with pre-orders and early access play... but folks are saying today is the 3 year anniversary for SWTOR. So I set off my fireworks and stared into the sands of Tatooine, kicked a smuggler or two, chased some cackling monkeys, listened to
- [SWTOR: Why Have My Companions Turned Into Dress Up Dolls?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-why-have-my-companions-turned-into-dress-up-dolls/) - This fight was WAY more epic as my Sith Warrior. My Smuggler just spent a lot of time being knocked out of cover. I've had a chance to get a couple of characters to level 60 in the newest Star Wars: The Old Republic expansion, seen their short class quests and one for the Imperial
- [Dragon Age Inquisition: Save Your Sad Splinters](https://www.gamerlady.blog/dragon-age-inquisition-save-your-sad-splinters/) - You get a few items in your "valuables" in DA:I that are a bit odd (red border). I finally found a use for one of those, the "Sad Splinters" you pick up when you assault a keep and break down the front door. I still haven't figured out a use for the "Too Many Breeches"
- [No More Words Left](https://www.gamerlady.blog/no-more-words-left/) - I'm going to let this picture say it for me because I'm pretty much done with trying to string together words that make sense, at least for a few days...
- [Leave the Hinterlands, Seriously!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/leave-the-hinterlands-seriously/) - So, as I suspected, Dragon Age: Inquisition has absorbed all of my free time. Sadly, there has been less of that free time than I'd have preferred, but I've had several projects hit me at the same time DAI did... I spent a lot time gathering shards to open doors in an oasis. A lot
- [SWTOR Trophy Art for PVP-How to Claim Your Decorations](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-trophy-art-for-pvp-how-to-claim-your-decorations/) - Some of the new wall decor is already in the game. The art labeled trophy art for each of the PVP matches is set to pick up. If you haven't done much PVP over the years you may not have the required achievement. If you have then you will need to pick it up the same way
- [My Crazy November](https://www.gamerlady.blog/my-crazy-november/) - This year my blogging friends helped convince me to give National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) a try. Having already written over 50,000 words earlier this year, I felt confident in joining up to write the sequel to my first book. After a morning of stutters and feeling like my fingers and brain were not in
- [SWTOR Decorations: New Slot Machine](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-decorations-new-slot-machine/) - The 1 credit limited time purchase for the slot machine decoration from the Binary Star reputation vendor has gone live in today's patch. I figured I'd take a quick shot of it and post for those of you who are decorations-mad like I am. Okay, I'm not quite "mad," as I've seen people who must
- [SWTOR Decorations Tip: How to Claim Your Class Mission Circular Signs](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-decorations-tip-how-to-claim-your-class-mission-circular-signs/) - A guild member clued us in to this tip from the forums, and I'm sharing it with a screen shot to make it easier to find. This may be changed in the future to automatically unlock, but for now you can manually claim the various circular sign decorations for any class whose chapter 3 missions
- [Your Online Character's Theme Song](https://www.gamerlady.blog/your-online-characters-theme-song/) - This is a fun topic that was started on my SWTOR guild's forums recently. Darth Vader had his Imperial March when he shows up on the screen. So, what would your favorite character's "dramatic entrance" music be? Like most fun questions, this one is hard because I can't pick just one favorite character or memorable
- [Most Posts and Views in a Month (and that ain't half bad)](https://www.gamerlady.blog/most-posts-and-views-in-a-month-and-that-aint-half-bad/) - Well, today is the last day of August, and thus the last day of that blogging phenomenon, Blaugust. I'm very impressed that 29 bloggers made it all the way past the finish line. Well done! (Edit: Here is the wrap up post with links to all the participants. There are some really great posts in
- [Nar Shaddaa Smuggler Haven](https://www.gamerlady.blog/nar-shaddaa-smuggler-haven/) - I finally got my Nar Shaddaa stronghold to 100% decoration status. I am not fully happy with it, there are a lot of trophies on the walls and many decorations I still want, but I can swap those out at my leisure now. Here is a quick set of screen shots of the various main
- [SWTOR Strongholds: Do Your Research (or suffer like me...)](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-strongholds-do-your-research-or-suffer-like-me/) - I have no one to blame but myself, but I figured I'd share a little warning for those who hit my blog by searching. Do...not...bother spending the 5 Dark Projects and 5 MK-3 Universal Prefab kits to buy a class ship unless you have fully unlocked Nar Shaddaa or Tatooine. You have been warned... [Edit:
- [My Smuggler's Happy Place](https://www.gamerlady.blog/my-smugglers-happy-place/) - Today saw the release of early access for Star Wars: The Old Republic's Galactic Strongholds expansion. I have been playing around with it all day. It is pretty intuitive to get started placing objects, although it doesn't seem quite as intuitive to get your initial stronghold going. A few things I learned: Carbonite people on
- [Not Going to Play with 'Dudes' with Attitudes](https://www.gamerlady.blog/not-going-to-play-with-dudes-with-attitudes/) - Yay! for reading other people's blog posts and letting them inspire me. I'll admit, between an awesome weekend of camping and being very AFK, I fell off the Blaugust wagon. But I knew I would, so I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm actually really happy I managed 14 days in a
- [Yep, I Really Am Over It](https://www.gamerlady.blog/yep-i-really-am-over-it/) - If it hadn't been for Twitter, I would still be unaware of when the next WoW expansion is coming out. For those of you who may be excited for it and don't know yet, it will be November 13th. I've seen the trailer, because it was linked in a tweet, so I clicked it. I
- [Do I Hear the Clock Ticking on the End of Days for My MMOing?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/do-i-hear-the-clock-ticking-on-the-end-of-days-for-my-mmoing/) - Games conventions often bring with them awesome reveals and game trailers. Today is no exception as Bioware revealed more details about projects they are working on. The Dragon Age Inquisition enemies trailer is so awesome. And hearing so many familiar voice actors in it; the very end sequence may have made me squeeee! or at
- [Book Titles...Halp!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/book-titles-halp/) - I have an entire room full of books. As I browse the shelves I realize that not only does my own book need to eradicate misspellings, keep point of view correct, fix any tense issues and entertain, but it also needs a spiffy name and decent cover art. I have no intention of making money
- [I Kinda Miss Nostalgia](https://www.gamerlady.blog/i-kinda-miss-nostalgia/) - I read an interesting post on Massively today about Wildstar's random factor and how it has chosen to structure its endgame. It struck a few chords with me. There may have even been a light bulb popping into existence over my head. I realized a while ago that while I still spend most of my
- [Screen Shot Sunday: The Memorable Deaths Version](https://www.gamerlady.blog/screen-shot-sunday-the-memorable-deaths-version/) - I don't have a lot of time today, but I thought I'd take a short walk down memory lane to share a few screen shots. One of my favorite character death shots comes from my WoW days. I know it was a graphical glitch, but these columns and the boss that tossed us around like
- [Strong Female Character Traits](https://www.gamerlady.blog/strong-female-character-traits/) - Is it just me, or do strong female characters often come across as being portrayed overly prickly and confrontational? I've been reading a series of books recently, written by a husband and wife team under the name Ilona Andrews, the Kate Daniels books. I have been enjoying them quite a bit, but I find the main character's
- [Pete and Repeat](https://www.gamerlady.blog/pete-and-repeat/) - As I played through the ME3 Omega DLC again last night, I started thinking about why I am willing to play single player games and DLCs over and over again, but have such a distaste for daily quests in MMOs. I don't want to hate daily quests or reputation grinds. I want to love re-occurring
- [How Important Is One Person to Shaping Vision and Content](https://www.gamerlady.blog/how-important-is-one-person-to-shaping-vision-and-content/) - Today saw another big loss of talent at Bioware. Casey Hudson, who has been part of the development of many of my favorite games has been given a fond farewell by the studio's general manager. While Casey's words in the message are upbeat and positive in tone, I can't help but feel that he'd had
- [Non Sequiturs and Other Nonesense](https://www.gamerlady.blog/non-sequiturs-and-other-nonesense/) - Have you ever thought how many every day things have been designed by people with gorilla arms? I mean seriously... you reach into the back of your dryer to pull out that elusive last sock and think to yourself, "geez, I don't have gorilla arms!" don't you? Well, I just did! Ok, so that was
- [In Game Events: Rakghoul Season Again](https://www.gamerlady.blog/in-game-events-rakghoul-season-again/) - They say that variety is the spice of life. It is one of the reasons I both love, and then sigh sadly over, repeating in game events. Unless they manage to feel fresh each time, eventually those events I really loved the first time around start to bring back WoW rep grind flashbacks and I
- [Great Music Makes Good Games and Movies Great](https://www.gamerlady.blog/great-music-makes-good-games-and-movies-great/) - I have this theory. Oh, you want me to tell you what it is? Surely my title said it all and I can be done blogging today, right? No, well then let me elaborate a bit, with song... (Queue up the mix tape. Yes, I totally stole that from GotG.) Do you really think Conan
- [I Got To Be The Cool Aunt](https://www.gamerlady.blog/i-got-to-be-the-cool-aunt/) - I love how games span generations. I had a fun day of sun and water yesterday and an evening of food and family, and I got to be the "cool" aunt. Yep, when I said my Nostromo keys were worn so much you can't read them anymore and mentioned how excited I was at watching
- [Boosting a Twitter Idea](https://www.gamerlady.blog/boosting-a-twitter-idea/) - I'm going to try to schedule this to post for me tomorrow while I am BBQing (and roasting my skin...) in the sun tomorrow. @Lethality has a little experiment going to chat about interesting gaming topics, but overcome the 140 character limit from Twitter. Check out the tool he is using if you are interested
- [Time Passes](https://www.gamerlady.blog/time-passes/) - Time, time, time, see what's become of me... If I could save time in a bottle... ...But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do, once you find them... ...Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day Time passes slowly and fades away... Here we
- [Jack of All MMOs, Masters of None?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/jack-of-all-mmos-masters-of-none/) - Liores from Herding Cats got me thinking today. And of course, whenever Twitter's 140 character limit can't encompass my rambling, out to the blog I ride... Her post, "MMOs are dead and I don’t feel so good myself" did a good job of capturing my melancholy over MMOs for the past 3, (4?!) or more
- [Where Have All The Game Posts Gone (Long time passing...)](https://www.gamerlady.blog/where-have-all-the-game-posts-gone-long-time-passing/) - Even though I should have a lot of time on my hands lately, I actually haven't been gaming much. I dabbled in Wildstar (still can't get into this game), did a little bit of Defiance (inventory management still drives me nuts), played a bit of SWTOR (nothing feels new enough right now), read a few
- [Love the Star Wars Fandom](https://www.gamerlady.blog/love-the-star-wars-fandom/) - I love seeing the Star Wars fans come out in droves today to wish each other a happy Star Wars day. My Bounty Hunter and her intrepid crew have a wish for you. May the 4th be with you, Always.
- [Accentuate the Positive?!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/accentuate-the-positive/) - Been doing a little bit of Wildstar beta this weekend and I am sadly appalled at the character models. I was expecting cartoonish, I was expected exaggerated, I was even expecting large breasts on the female toons. I was not expecting how the movement and posture differences were going to really bother me. If I
- [How Perception Shapes Reality, or Expectations FTW/FTL](https://www.gamerlady.blog/how-perception-shapes-reality-or-expectations-ftwftl/) - How cool are those eyes?! We have another one-week-at-a-time in-game event in SWTOR, and opinions on it have been very mixed. Some people love it, some people hate it, some people think it is okay... the usual mix of Opinions. Me, I think the event is fine, but I went in knowing what the event
- [Crafting For Fun And Profit?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/crafting-for-fun-and-profit/) - Word of warning on this post, I am not all that enthusiastic about crafting in my MMOs so keep that in mind when you read my opinions about this topic. Maybe this is because I've never played a game where crafting was exceptional, or maybe I just don't enjoy a certain play style, I just
- [Dissecting New MMO Content](https://www.gamerlady.blog/dissecting-new-mmo-content/) - Another recent topic on Twitter has been hopes from Star Wars The Old Republic's players for content from the game in 2014. It will be a year of many new game releases with new stories and worlds to tempt away the players of existing MMOs. Many of us hope this will bring out the A
- [Is It Me? Or Is It Game Design?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/is-it-me-or-is-it-game-design/) - I've been reading a few blog posts and articles lately about how the MMO population has started to age. I've read nostalgic posts about how great MMOs used to be and how there used to be that One Game to rule them all and now there isn't anymore. I've decided that it isn't so much
- [My Current SWTOR Character Customizations](https://www.gamerlady.blog/my-current-swtor-character-customizations/) - Andronikos Rakghoul event infected appearance This started with a friend asking me for a list of what one of my characters was wearing. While I was grabbing that, I started screen shotting all of my current characters because I really like the way most of them look right now. Gone are the days of being
- [NBI Poetry Slam](https://www.gamerlady.blog/nbi-poetry-slam/) - MMO Gypsy Syl has launched a challenge this month for we geeky bloggers to wax poetic. She did ask... I admit, I really enjoy filk music. I like adding my own words to the catchy tune of someone else's music. What's the fun of writing bad poetry if you can't ruin someone's favorite song in
- [Games People Play (While Playing Games)](https://www.gamerlady.blog/games-people-play-while-playing-games/) - Creative outlets like player housing are popular for a reason I have been thinking about MMO grinds lately and how much I start to hate a game once I start to hate its more grind-y elements. If you think about what you are asked to do in your character's "free time" to satisfy some faction
- [Happy 10 yr. Anniversary Knights of the Old Republic](https://www.gamerlady.blog/happy-10-yr-anniversary-knights-of-the-old-republic/) - In honor of the KOTOR 10 year anniversary, I took a little trip into its legacy. KOTOR's heirs, Star Wars: The Old Republic, a weary Smuggler and her revived HK-51 droid toured Taris today. Malak did quite a number on this once over-proud city planet. Orbiting the shattered world We traveled the twisted paths and
- [The Day of the Dusters](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-day-of-the-dusters/) - Today I broke down and bought the Troublemaker Duster for my Smuggler in SWTOR. I had been eyeing it for a while and the price finally came down from the "hell no!" range into the "okay, this is excessive for vanity but I'll get it anyway" price range. I've been wearing the scruffy look for
- [When Games Go Free To Play, How Do Existing Subscribers Feel?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/when-games-go-free-to-play-how-do-existing-subscribers-feel/) - Does this face look happy to you? I have been thinking about how different I feel as a subscriber of two games that have both gone to a Free to Play model after their initial releases as subscription games. The way I feel as a customer is very different between Star Wars: The Old Republic
- [Is This Thing On?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/is-this-thing-on/) - Oh hey there. Look at what I found in my browser favorites list, the link to my blog dashboard. I have been highly unmotivated to spend time on this thing lately haven't I? With summer and way too many games on my docket, I don't see that changing much. But I took a funny screen
- [A Few Defiance Tips From A Newbie](https://www.gamerlady.blog/a-few-defiance-tips-from-a-newbie/) - I made time today to play Defiance so I could do the episode quest line before the premier. It was a fun chain of quests, I certainly recommend it. Here are a few of my lessons learned. Tactics matter: If you are grouped, use flanking and draw fire off each other, especially for the mutants
- [So Much To Do, So Little Time](https://www.gamerlady.blog/so-much-to-do-so-little-time/) - I'm suffering from a wealth of riches where my online gaming experiences are concerned, but the choices are too rich for me to handle. I really want to spend more time playing Defiance, especially to see how the game and the T.V. series come together with its premier. I have got to make some time
- [Trying Out an MMOFPS - Defiance](https://www.gamerlady.blog/trying-out-an-mmofps-defiance/) - I've only briefly dipped into Defiance's full release game so far, but I figured I'd at least share some initial info. Getting screen shots is a bit challenging so far, especially with not being able to pan my view around like I'm used to, but hopefully they'll figure out a good way to share game
- [Blog Neglect](https://www.gamerlady.blog/blog-neglect/) - Yes folks, I've been guilty of blog neglect. This isn't more than a fluff piece, hello to you all, screen cap, quick update toss up though, sorry. Mage plus plate = nifty look I've been playing SWTOR and Rift a lot lately. My husband and I finished up the Bounty Hunter story quests with levels
- [Happy One Year Anniversary Star Wars: The Old Republic!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/happy-one-year-anniversary-star-wars-the-old-republic/) - I wanted a really iconic location for setting off my celebratory fireworks, so what else should I do but head to Tatooine and jump into a Sarlaac pit?! Congratulations on your first MMO year Bioware. Hoping to wish you many more of these, looking forward to what you have up your sleeves in the future
- [What Can You Do In Rift Dimensions?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/what-can-you-do-in-rift-dimensions/) - A few people have asked me about dimensions so I figured I'd pull a few screen captures together with a bit of explanatory text. I have a few complaints about the controls, but it has been pretty easy to be creative. You get a free small starter dimension from a Dimension Engineer in the old
- [Amazing People Worthy of Respect Not Mockery](https://www.gamerlady.blog/amazing-people-worthy-of-respect-not-mockery/) - The next time I find myself tempted to mock George Lucas over my dislike of Jar Jar Binks, or who shot first, I'm going to remind myself that this is a man worthy of my respect. He cares enough about children to push a lot of his fortune into his own charity and now into
- [Frankenstein's MMO](https://www.gamerlady.blog/frankensteins-mmo/) - Many people have written posts about their perfect game. I'm not going to try and write up all the features in my perfect game, but I am going to start sewing a few pieces together into my MMO Monster. Tis the season for making horrific creatures after all. As I've been playing a few different
- [Hype and Fun and Games](https://www.gamerlady.blog/hype-and-fun-and-games/) - Maybe we should go back to the harbor I love thought-provoking talks via Twitter. They make me want to write and they help me put my thoughts in order about things percolating in my mind. Today's brain brew is all about game hype, game expectations, why we love some games but don't love their successors as
- [Shrinking Pains](https://www.gamerlady.blog/shrinking-pains/) - Change, oh how we loathe it sometimes. I'm writing this to say farewell to the glory days of SWTOR's endless servers and the concept I had of how my legacies and character concepts would work, and to grumble about it. Farewell to Z'ha'dum and Krath In the early days of long queues and many servers,
- [Gaming is Not A Long-term Commitment](https://www.gamerlady.blog/gaming-is-not-a-long-term-commitment/) - I’ve come to a realization recently that I am an old-fashioned gamer. Not the tasty cocktail or ice-cream sundae kind of Old-Fashioned either, but the stodgy get-these-kids-off-my-lawn kind. I’ve been watching people game-hop and finding myself annoyed at those pesky kids and their wanton gaming ways. And then it hit me, we’re talking about games here. Yep
- [SWTOR Event Goodies](https://www.gamerlady.blog/swtor-event-goodies/) - I hope to update this over the next few days to share a few of the goodies from doing the latest Star Wars: The Old Republic's live event. For now, I had to share a picture of my good fortune from yesterday's kick off day. I'm not sure how often these little guys will drop
- [It Is The Little Things That Count](https://www.gamerlady.blog/it-is-the-little-things-that-count/) - Never did figure out how to get or set these off during my trial I took advantage of the chance to try out The Secret World MMO during its free weekend event. While I hadn't intended to post anything about my trial, I really don't feel I had enough time to give it a fair
- [What Else Should I Do When I Can't Sleep, But Blog?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/what-else-should-i-do-when-i-cant-sleep-but-blog/) - It has been a while since I've felt like writing. I couldn't sleep and have been chatting about MMO content in Twitter this morning. Twitter is often a good source of blog fodder, since it is hard to hold a long meaningful discussion in bits and pieces, but often thought provoking. Yawn! This (early!) morning's
- [Non Gaming Related Tribute](https://www.gamerlady.blog/non-gaming-related-tribute/) - I don't have kids and at this stage in life the chances are pretty slim. One thing I do regret is not seeing my husband be a dad. He is pretty cute with my nieces and nephews and tends to be one of those favorite uncles. My parents have both passed away and I'm usually
- [Enough With The Armchair Game Developing](https://www.gamerlady.blog/enough-with-the-armchair-game-developing/) - Enough with the armchair quarterbacking and back-seat driving regarding MMO features at launch or even at the early stages of a game. I do it myself, wondering why X feature, which is well known to be a popular one, or Y feature, which That Other Game has aren't in my current game of choice. How
- [NBI Wrap Up - So Many Shiny New Blogs](https://www.gamerlady.blog/nbi-wrap-up-so-many-shiny-new-blogs/) - I am really impressed by how many people took the leap and decided to start new blogs during this month. Bravo! I'm also impressed with the breadth and quality of the advice posts and encouragement from sponsor sites. I hope those veterans and the new guys like me found this as interesting and informative as
- [Are MMO Players Just Too Fickle?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/are-mmo-players-just-too-fickle/) - I've had various thoughts going through my head lately regarding my current MMO, Star Wars The Old Republic. Thoughts about vanished guildies, low populations, MMOs, grind in games, end game content, etc. I've had a few Twitter discussions about what an MMO should aspire to, what it means to be an MMO, MMO vs single
- [Newbie Blogger Initiative Tips to Start](https://www.gamerlady.blog/newbie-blogger-initiative-tips-to-start/) - This is gathered advice from various places that I'll share as a few things for new bloggers to consider. There is a lot of great information out there and I'd recommend doing a bit of reading on your own. You can find a ton of great blogging advice from some of the more popular bloggers.
- [Newbie Blogger Initiative](https://www.gamerlady.blog/newbie-blogger-initiative/) - I know when I decided to start blogging, I felt just a wee bit apprehensive. Hopefully this initiative I read about, on one of the blogs that helped inspire me to start, is useful for anyone thinking about putting themselves out there. Head over to MMOGamerchick's blog for more info. Edit: I should expand this
- [When LFG Means Looking for Guild](https://www.gamerlady.blog/when-lfg-means-looking-for-guild/) - When guild chat gets empty, when login notifications become non-existant, when your guild leader doesn't show up anymore and no one but you visits your guild site; if you plan to stick with a game, it finally becomes time to make a tough decision. Finding the right guild is not always easy. Some people get
- [The Rakghoul Surprise](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-rakghoul-surprise/) - What do you mean my eyes are glowing?! Bioware launched a surprise dynamic event on us over the weekend. I haven't seen any of the world bosses for it, probably won't with our guild gone dark, but the content I've been able to do has been pretty fun. I like the pets from questing or
- [Entitled to Your Opinion And That's It](https://www.gamerlady.blog/entitled-to-your-opinion-and-thats-it/) - Not going to say a lot about all the controversy rampaging through the social media channels these days other than gee, thanks for ruining my anticipation of a game ending for ME3. Just because you have multiple public outlets for your opinions doesn't mean you should expect anyone to act on them. Back in the
- [The Evolution to Epic Gear](https://www.gamerlady.blog/the-evolution-to-epic-gear/) - My guildmates keep giggling over the gear sets we're picking up from raiding. I recently upgraded my pants. I miss the good old everyday wear, but the lure of purple gear set bonuses can't be denied. I suppose the new pants look lived in and comfy? You decide: Do these pants make my butt look
- [Modable Outfits in SWTOR](https://www.gamerlady.blog/modable-outfits-in-swtor/) - I love being able to keep a certain look for my smuggler in Star Wars The Old Republic, but have the chance to update my stats as I gain levels. Khaalo has been wearing the same Han Solo like vest and collared shirt for most of her adventures so far. Han Soloesque Recently, I got
- [Stowaways](https://www.gamerlady.blog/stowaways/) - I'm used to getting stowaways from playing KOTOR, but generally they hide in secret cabinets and my food mysteriously disappears. Having someone lurking in my med bay who refuses to speak is a bit odd. Who is this strange passenger? Is my freighter haunted? That isn't a carbonite man
- [Ship Sweet Home](https://www.gamerlady.blog/ship-sweet-home/) - She ain't pretty, but she's Mine! I've been posting images of characters, but I've neglected to post the most important character of all to a smuggler, her ship. I think I'll call her Betrayer's Bane and hope she lives up to her name. Damsel in Distress or Trap? I have a bad feeling about this!
- [A Little Launch "Poetry"](https://www.gamerlady.blog/a-little-launch-poetry/) - For The Republic! 'Twas the night before TOR Launch, and all through our houses Our computers were whirring, we were clicking our mouses Our companions were nestled all tight in our ships While visions of starscapes streamed by in fast blips With my smuggler in her kerchief, husband's soldier with his gun We had just
- [Early SWTOR Client](https://www.gamerlady.blog/early-swtor-client/) - The good: Can you hear the theme song in your head? I can. Star Wars: The Old Republic is really playable right out of the gate. It is highly complex, running a lot of terrain and NPCs and cinematics, and doing it quite well. Lag has been very low and the longest Q time I've
- [My New Adventure Begins](https://www.gamerlady.blog/my-new-adventure-begins/) - Captain Khaalo I can't talk a lot about my character without giving away spoilers of her story. Soon everyone will have their own tales of adventure, but for now I won't go into the details. I avoided as many of the spoilers as I could where the Smuggler was concerned. I didn't beta test one
- [It Is Getting Real](https://www.gamerlady.blog/it-is-getting-real/) - Anticipation is palpable, people are twitchy, guild server tweets are starting to show up, new game excitement is running wild! Really hoping our new MMO home will be a blast. Considering the nod to Mass Effect, how could you not love a server name of The Harbinger?! Killer Bunnies have a new MMO home! Edit:
- [Star Wars: The Old Republic's Inspiring Music](https://www.gamerlady.blog/star-wars-the-old-republics-inspiring-music/) - This baby can also transport you On Facebook today, SWTOR announced that they will be releasing a new music track each day until launch. Today is The Mandalorian Blockade. You really should give it a listen. Some of it will sound familiar, we've heard portions of the score in various game videos. I love music,
- [Ships and Ship Combat and SWTOR Oh My!](https://www.gamerlady.blog/ships-and-ship-combat-and-swtor-oh-my/) - Coruscant from Orbit is Gorgeous I know one of my big goals from this weekend's large scale beta test was to get far enough along in my story to get my class ship. My soldier got her ship, after a class story quest chain arc, at level 15. The story arc was fun. There were
- [How a Different Origin Story Can Change the Feel of a Game](https://www.gamerlady.blog/how-a-different-origin-story-can-change-the-feel-of-a-game/) - I've been killing time lately waiting for 12/20/2011 (or 12/15/2011), playing various single player RPGs, replaying a few, and being uninspired by any current MMOs. I've already played Mass Effect 1 and 2 as both a female and male Shepard, one heavily on the paragon path, the other heavily on the renegade path. I decided
- [Why Patches and Expansions Won't Lure Me Back](https://www.gamerlady.blog/why-patches-and-expansions-wont-lure-me-back/) - (Warning: This has turned into a pretty long rant fest. The thoughts and ideas have been rolling around in my brain for a while. Blizzcon announcements and a recent Twitter conversation with @Thephauxden shook them loose to run amok on my blog.) One of my WoW mains The first MMO I ever played was World
- [Geek Just Another Name for Awesome](https://www.gamerlady.blog/geek-just-another-name-for-awesome/) - Today's idea started with an anguished Facebook post from a friend. Her son was getting teased by kids at school for being a nerd and she was really mad. A kid he had been friends with the prior year had turned on him and the betrayal was very hard on her son. I could sympathize.
- [Love the Shiny New Galaxy Map](https://www.gamerlady.blog/love-the-shiny-new-galaxy-map/) - I've been scoping out the Star Wars: The Old Republic's Holonet for a while now, waiting for the unveiling of the final mystery box. Today I got my wish when SWTOR rolled out their new 3-D Galaxy Map. A quick 3rd party plug-in install later, a few blips as planet flythrough videos didn't load, and
- [I'll Just Leave This Little Release Date Screencap Here](https://www.gamerlady.blog/ill-just-leave-this-little-release-date-screencap-here/) - I know this won't be news to anyone, but how could I be a major gaming fan and not blog about it anyway?! Twitter has been quite fun this morning. I'll just leave this little gem from my email here. Found this in my Inbox this morning
- [Why Smugglers Are So Cool](https://www.gamerlady.blog/why-smugglers-are-so-cool/) - We can thank Han Solo for being such a wonderful inspiration for an iconic class in Star Wars: The Old Republic. That scruffy-looking, nerf-herding scoundrel is the reason why the first class I am going to play in SWTOR is going to be so much fun. I just know I'm going to have some highly
- [Is Bioware Suffering from Stage Fright?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/is-bioware-suffering-from-stage-fright/) - Pre-Orders over 400,000 Like many MMO gamers I know, I am anxiously awaiting the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic. And like many, I have pre-ordered a copy of the game even though an official release date has not yet been announced. So many of us are interested in this game, that it has
- [Hats Off to Prolific Bloggers](https://www.gamerlady.blog/hats-off-to-prolific-bloggers/) - I wanted to write something profound, but I realized that waiting for inspiration on what to talk about was keeping me from posting at all. I think the longer one goes not writing, the easier it becomes to just ignore the blog. I have to salute those bloggers who manage to not only write regularly,
- [A Beta Without Friends Wouldn't Be The Same](https://www.gamerlady.blog/beta-friends/) - I came to a strange realization today. I don't want to beta test Star Wars: The Old Republic. I want to play the game and can't wait to download my pre-order, but I want to play it with my husband and my friends. I know some people who are in beta testing, and they are
- [Companions and MMOs](https://www.gamerlady.blog/companions-and-mmos/) - Digital Download x 2 My Next Great Adventure (who needs a life?) Like many others I know, my household has purchased two pre-order copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic. I really hope their "holiday 2011" release window is them playing a Scotty from Star Trek, and under-promising with the intent to surprise. This is
- [New author experimentation](https://www.gamerlady.blog/new-author-experimentation/) - The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi I saw this book on the new books shelf at my local library and since I was ready to try a brand new author, I read the inside cover. What grabbed my attention and made me check the book out was the comment that the book includes "a race
- [Romancing the Pixels](https://www.gamerlady.blog/romancing-the-pixels/) - I've been playing Dragon Age: Origins and this time deliberately working on the romance angle. I've never been all that interested in pursuing it in roleplay games, but with it being part of the companion experience in the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic, I thought I'd give it a whirl. I still find it
- [Do You Ever Walk Away From A Book?](https://www.gamerlady.blog/do-you-ever-walk-away-from-a-book/) - I've been reading David Drake's Daniel Leary series over the past couple of months. There are several books in the series, but I realized that it is taking me longer to finish than is usual for me. I even read a couple of other books in between these, and gobbled them up with my usual
- [All About the Snappy Rejoinder](https://www.gamerlady.blog/all-about-the-snappy-rejoinder/) - I've been thinking about my book collection lately and the books that I'm willing to re-read. Most of them have a lot of sarcasm and gentle ribbing between the main characters. One of the early series of books I picked up, and read many times, was David Edding's Belgariad. He did such a good job
- [To Rift or Not To Rift...](https://www.gamerlady.blog/to-rift-or-not-to-rift/) - It finally happened. I logged in to Rift and I had no desire to do anything, even daily quests. I started thinking about emptying my character's mailboxes, the same thing I did when I was ready to mothball my WoW account. I still have the possibility of doing some raiding with my guild, so I'm
- [Memorable  quotes](https://www.gamerlady.blog/memorable-quotes/) - I'm going to start building a list of some favorite quotes, this will take a while. SWTOR favorite line so far: "Is that a hair style or did a womp rat die on your head?" From Babylon 5, Vir Cotto to Mr. Morden: "I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they
- [Screen Shots](https://www.gamerlady.blog/screen-shots/) - I wouldn't say I'm an avid screen shot taker, but I like to document the occasional game event. I did a lot more when I was leading raids and working on my WoW guild's website, but the WoW days are over. Still, I have nostalgia and pictures gathering dust, so I think I'll post a
- [Putting yourself "out there"](https://www.gamerlady.blog/putting-yourself-out-there/) - I'll admit, I have held off on blogging for a long time. I usually have a lot to say, but rarely think it will be interesting enough to other people that they would read it. But my work is getting more heavily involved with all things social media, so here I am. If I hadn't
