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...

Social Play vs Toxic Players

Feb 27, 2019

New Banners in Anthem's Fort Tarsis 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...

Fighting Monthly Sub Conditioning

Feb 4, 2019

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...

WoW Class Mounts

Oct 1, 2018

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...

Romance As a Game Motivation

Jun 6, 2016

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

May 21, 2016

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...

Strolling Rakata Prime

May 8, 2016

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...

Goals, Motivations, and Achievements

May 1, 2016

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...
