my games, books I love, and how I fill my free time
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
