Happy New Year! I have been playing my same old boring games, but feel compelled to update briefly. This post is composed of two subject matters, and two lists! Gaming List Fallout 4: I am 45 hours in and just went back to the main story line. I just did the Glowing Sea, as a…
I last posted about how I am going to post more about my personal health journey and things I learned that worked for me. This is very fitting being New Years Eve today, with a whole host of resolutions to be made by a big chunk of the world to start tomorrow! And most of…
Hi Everyone. Just a quick note – I am on a beach right now not thinking about blogging, but spending time with my family and thinking about the world. There is so much unrealized potential and I hope as a global community we start treating each other the way we need to. Â I wish nothing…
Blogging has been a struggle as of late – I am playing four games, four of which are “out of date”, and I am plodding along at my own pace within them. I am not discovering anything new about these games (or myself playing them) and all of that adds up to the deeper questions…
I don’t even know if I will end up playing it, but $12.49 is hard to turn down. Now I suppose I have to play it. In the new year. Figured it was worth sharing for anyone who hasn’t played it yet who was considering it. Yes, this is it for the post. I have a big…
Well, the cat is out of the bag. Oh, not for me. I knew about that a long time ago. Give me some credit. My 10 year old asked the big question last night as we were getting him ready for bed. He is in a grade 5/6 split class (due to Ontario regulations on…
I thoroughly enjoyed my foray onto my first TLP server when Ragefire and Lockjaw were recently launched. I made a few posts about it and stepped away due to learning that a new server would be launching soon – and did not want to “lose” my time investment. At the time I left EQ it…
Choice is an amazing feeling, even if you just end up going around in circles. During lapses in gaming passion (when you have that new and shiny game to play) I often default to binge playing other games. And I love it! First off was my return to the Darkest Dungeon. I did a multi-post…
They say you can’t be half pregnant. Â This is what slows me down from blogging, the thought that you are either in or out. I’m on the line. It has been awhile since I have posted and like most excuses reasons, they are varied and plentiful. It was partly time, passion, focus, desire and gaming.…
Reading the Daybreak forums for progression servers I came across an update to the class stats from the post beta information. This one had more respondants of people who (seemingly) actually participated. It is also a fun way to look at what people say versus what they do. They are still very similar. I am…
When questing in the Savage Coast in The Secret World I came across a gem during the Crime and Punishment quest line. This was after finding Sam Krieg’s fan mancave and hacking into his computer: You can click on that to enlarge it to read it, but it is the quest text for the final part. The…
I haven’t started my adventures on the EQ progression server but wholly expect to this weekend. It is probably a good thing as well due to the slate of problems – the funniest of which, is a full server. For a 1999 game that still requires a subscription. Goes to show the strength of nostalgia.…
This Blog has always mostly been about gaming, some movies here and there, and other things like  TV shows. You know, the fun things to talk about. I even hit some political topics and generalities here and there. The blog subtitle is “Life and Interwebs” but mostly it has been about Interwebs. It works for…
While it may seem like perfect sense I didn’t realize that for reporting purposes people actually use week numbers. Last week was week #20 for the year and it has been awhile since I have shared what I am playing and figured it was a good way to start the week off. Canada had a…
I appreciate learning the history of things. Often, I think this comes with age. It’s not enough to just live in moment amongst the new – a lot of amazing things have happened in our world. Learning about them is important. I travel quite a bit for work and pleasure and when I get an…
It’s videos like this that make me want to play WildStar again. And then it’s announcements like this that remind me that this game should have changed it’s business model about a year ago. Which is prior to launch. Everybody knew there was no more room for a sub based game into today’s climate. It…
A Bhagpuss musing over at a post about MMO monogamy at Bio Break “I would really love some genuinely casual MMOs to come along where I can play for half an hour and see satisfying, meaningful character progression. Don’t believe it will ever happen though.” Fear not Bhagpuss, there is definitely room for that style.…
I am not sure if I have mentioned it here before, but I am a hockey goaltender. I spent my life playing the position and even now that I cracked the big four oh, I still play two to three times a week (in the winter). It’s fun exercise, allows me to still draw on…
This gem from Canada’s Maclean’s Magazine: Neither a televised trial involving two psychiatric assessments nor his 1,500-page manifesto could quite explain his giving up World of Warcraft for real-life mass murder. Clearly, you either play WoW or kill people. There is no in between.
I have mostly avoided participating in the major discussion threads surrounding #Gamergate for the sole reason that I find the internet a terrible place to have meaningful, open discussion on serious and important topics. I realize how silly that is as someone who blogs quite regularly and participates in a lot of blogs – perhaps…
I haven’t played PR for a couple of years (I haven’t played any PC FPSs in the same token) but I have written 6 posts that mentioned PR since 2010. I still believe it is the best shooter ever created for in depth realism, tactics, and genuine squad play that is completely absent in pretty…
Unlike the silliness of the term ‘AAA’ in video games AAA in baseball means the last step before the big leagues. And that is exactly where my right handed pitcher is during his climb to The Show – the PS4 MLB 15 version. I haven’t played a baseball game since 2012 and even back then I was…
I HAS RETURNED! I left on a two week vacation and the several posts I had lined up to keep the traffic hits a coming (including the “I am leaving on vacation but have some posts queued up” post) didn’t pan out. If you stick around here until April 2016 you may find them. The…
I have spoke of my love of the UK newspaper The Economist as my go to news source for global politics and economics. It’s a great read and the digital and audio subscription has a ton of value. I read it weekly and I always get a bit excited when there is mention of video…
Simple is always good but sometimes you find beauty in complexity – even if you trip over it. Time and time again in The Secret World (blog sites, forums, etc. I have been doing a lot of reading!) I am discovering suggestions to build your own decks and pay attention to different states. These states…
