Exploring HOH2: A Fun Roguelike Experience

Posted on February 12, 2025February 12, 2025 by Isey

I mentioned in a previous post that I have been doing the very satisfying gameplay loop in HOH2, a roguelike and successor to Heroes of Hammerwatch (1, OG, Original, etc). Even more confusingly, both are a roguelite rift off of a base game, Hammerwatch and Hammerwatch 2. If you think that is confusing, you should…

QUEST August, 2008

Posted on February 6, 2025February 6, 2025 by Isey

Chapter One of Quick Updates Exploring Stories Told is the start of this blog. Truth be told, I can’t even recall what I was playing then (had to have been WoW) but I am sure a lot of that will come out in the posts themselves. I had 3 posts to my starting month. August…

The Beginning Of the End : A Look Back

Posted on February 4, 2025 by Isey

[editor’s note before starting – my blog theme (which I loved but hadn’t updated in years) embedded gambling posts beneath my posts. At first I thought I was hacked but turns out that someone took control of the theme itself and put it there “as a feature”. So, I quickly grabbed a different one just…

How to Rank Better Than 75% of Marvel Rivals Players

Posted on January 13, 2025January 14, 2025 by Isey

I’m GREAT. I’m such a good Marvel Rivals player – ok, maybe not so good, but better than more than 75%+ of other Marvel Rivals players. Stay with me here. When you hit a new rank in “competitive” gameplay, it gives you a fun little stat: First caveats. I have no clue what “server-wide” means,…

Upgrading A Laptop: An Adventure in Tech (And Disappointment)

Posted on September 22, 2023 by Isey

Picture this: a dimly lit room, a person (let’s call them Alex), and a decade-old Microsoft Surface Book 2. It’s like a scene from a B-movie where the hero realizes they might need to let go of their old, trusty sidekick. The laptop’s been good, but recently, it’s been giving off those “It’s not you,…

Embarrassment of Riches

Posted on September 19, 2023September 19, 2023 by Isey

I turn 50 this year. Already my neural synapses are starting to suck as I have a hard time remembering some of the most basic things – such as, some specific words I am looking for, or, a specific name of an acquaintance that I should know (but can’t instantly recall), and of course the…

Deep Rock Galactic – Chugging Along

Posted on January 11, 2023 by Isey

Short post to give a shout out to what is likely the best class based Co-Op shooter with the most civilized player base. There was a post with stats released: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/548430/view/3640630403132894028 Safe to say, not bad for a small studio. It’s the type of title that many people rush to buy new DLC as it…

I’m Not DEAD yet!

Posted on May 29, 2020 by Isey

Or putting myself in WRIP, quite yet. Although I probably should. I started taking online courses in my spare time, instead of writing, and working from home has been a drag. I have been hot and cold with gaming but work has extra responsibilities with this Pandemic, and when I get a spare hour I…

Joker (2019)

I have made a few posts here fully mobile, and will link them when I get to a proper computer. I am drinking a beautiful, by a fire, smoking a Monte Cristo #5 while pretty sick. This has no bearing on this post. Except the mobile part. I just watched Joker. Obviously, no spoilers here….

Slow Progress, Happy Birthday: Project 1999, Everquest

Posted on March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 by Isey

I was not going to post much about Everquest turning 20. I have written a few “Happy Birthday EQ” posts to EQ over the years, about one every 5 or so years. There isn’t much point in writing one every year because my personal story with the game hasn’t changed much. The gist, is this:…

Sad Ending : Telltale Games

Posted on September 22, 2018February 27, 2022 by Isey

I have really enjoyed several of their titles – especially the original Walking Dead series and The Wolf Among Us. The company is effectively shutting down after finishing off the latest Walking Dead game. Oddly enough, there isn’t a reason given that I have read. Mashable has a story up. It seemed like a successful…

“Work” Opportunity!

Posted on August 6, 2018 by Isey

This is very relevant to Blaugust. Somehow, my team at work felt creating an awesome newsletter was the best way for us to communicate to our business network of ~350 separate business units. It’s good information but a bad platform. I’d like someone great with WordPress to spend some time converting 3 multi section newsletters…

Real Bloggers of Genius

Posted on September 20, 2014 by Isey

First, to set the stage. We bloggers are a fun bunch – we chat about games, and life, and life in games, and gaming lives, and what not. We tweet about it, blog about, share on sites. We have a community. Often we complain – whine, bitch, moan, criticize – and why not? We love…

3:10 Train to Ledge (Tier 2)

Posted on February 10, 2014April 10, 2017 by Isey

I have a couple of paths I run in my normal “day to day” in EQN: Landmark. There is a sweet, sweet area I found ripe with multiple ores I require for progression, and a hidden forest which is needed for every tool and crafting station (in unfair abundance right now, although they are patching…

I am away from home for work which means no gaming for me (need laptop upgrade, stat) and as such am going to touch upon everyone’s favorite topic. Politics. Even more exciting, CANADIAN politics. Canada had it’s federal election and had an interesting outcome – the same as the last federal government – a minority government….
