Farewell to Frost

We are into season 2 of WoW's Midnight expansion and I'm finally benching my Frost Mage. What can I say, I'm stubborn and my mage has been Frost spec long before Frost was cool. Frost Mage has been controversial in the most recent expansion. Sometimes the damage is...

Blaugust 2026 Wrap Up: Meeting My Goals

My participation in this year's festival was never about doing a daily blog post. There are several participants who did hit that milestone and I will edit this post later to share the stats that are being gathered from the participants. My plan this time around was...

Blaugust 2026: Lessons Learned Group Project

I had it in mind that the final group project was August 31st rather than August 30th. A day late is about par for the course for me this month. August went by FREAKY-fast this year. I will post separately about my overall goals for this year's festival. For this...

Blaugust Staying Motivated Week

Motivation, goals, achievements... all things that gurus tell us we should have, track and celebrate. For today's group project, rather than a non-blogging achievement that I'm especially proud of, I'm going to write about an achievement tied to having a goal, and...

Blaugust 2026 Group Projects – Blind Choice

This topic idea from Lucky Instar's blog can be done at any time during Blaugust. "Announcing a group project called Blind Choice - to introduce a bit of randomness to your blogging adventure. Also writing about my own entry for it, which ended up being about weird...

Blaugust 2026 Group Projects: Dungeon Crawler Carl Achievements

(Note, there are some spoilers in this post if you haven't read past book 4 in the Dungeon Crawler Carl books)Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl books have become very popular in the past few months. I've seen ttrpg games based on them and talk of making a TV...

Pixel Places I’d Love to Visit ( #NBI2015Safari )

May 2, 2015

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...

Newbie Blogger Initiative (NBI) 2015 Is A Go

May 1, 2015

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...

I couldn't sum it up any better!

When Life Gives You Pink Purple Dye, Make the Most of It

Apr 20, 2015

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,...

Jetpack?! Yeah I Want a Jetpack!

Mar 27, 2015

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...

WWTYB (What Would Tempt You Back) to a Game

Mar 16, 2015

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...

Spending Some Quality Double XP (and Agent) Time

Feb 13, 2015

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...

Cool Mount/Vehicles and Motivation

Feb 10, 2015

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...
