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...

Newbie Blogger Initiative Tips to Start

May 5, 2012

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...

Newbie Blogger Initiative

May 1, 2012

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...

When LFG Means Looking for Guild

Apr 28, 2012

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...

The Rakghoul Surprise

Apr 17, 2012

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 purchase with the event...

Entitled to Your Opinion And That’s It

Mar 14, 2012

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...

The Evolution to Epic Gear

Feb 11, 2012

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: New...

Modable Outfits in SWTOR

Jan 26, 2012

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. Recently, I got a...

Stowaways

Jan 8, 2012

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?

Ship Sweet Home

Dec 21, 2011

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. I love that you get rested XP while on board. I find it interesting...
