Alpha Gaming Weekend : Redacted

Posted on November 23, 2018 by Isey

I spent my weekend playing games I can’t share impressions on for the most part. And while people know I am in certain ones, because I announced it, I can safely group them all into “looking forward to what they do next” territory without mentioning specific features, feelings or thoughts. Wish I could share more…

Straws, Backs and Camels Part 2 : Consoles

Posted on September 19, 2017 by Isey

My first post about the last straw – losing it on a company was about Electronic Arts. That was way back in 2010. My self imposed EA exile lasted all of almost a year, but I caved in when Dragon Age 2 launched. (Dragon Age is one of the best RPG games out there, ever….

Gaming Week #20

Posted on May 19, 2015 by Isey

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…

Bite Sized Gaming

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Isey

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….

AAA Ball

Posted on April 28, 2015 by Isey

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 Switch Teams

Posted on September 29, 2014 by Isey

I am unashamedly pro Microsoft. I game on Windows 8, have a Surface Pro 2 that I love and admire (upgrading to Surface Pro 3 soon), I even had a Windows Phone at one point! (It broke.. they have limited handset styles in Canada so ended up going back to android). And yes, I had…

EQN Landmark – 4 Extra Closed Beta Keys

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Isey

First off – check out these amazing player creations already – amazing work by EQN:L Trailblazers! Imagine a sandbox world filled with those…. Alpha is ending, and while I haven’t been playing as much (here comes the wipe!) I definitely will be rebuilding and trying again when Beta starts. Here is the good news – as…

Everquest Next: Landmark Alpha Launches

Posted on February 1, 2014 by Isey

I have never been much of a blog to cover the latest news, but this was in my inbox bright and early this morning. I am really close to pulling the trigger on it – I am interested in building, and the pace just might be my style. Of course, I miss the old days…

League S4 Goals – Failed!

Posted on October 13, 2013April 10, 2017 by Isey

And I am just fine with it. Taking the plunge and focus into ranked play, but starting at the bottom of the barrel was a LOT to overcome. The truth is the Solo Queue ranked system seems to rewards games played. Bad streaks, bad luck, whatever – as long as you plow through you’ll end…

Playing the Free to Play Field (Non-Committed)

Posted on June 14, 2013February 3, 2014 by Isey

Kind of feels a bit like speed dating. As good a time as it is to be a gamer these days with all the free-to-play options I am actually a bit sullen. Unlike my wife, I just can’t commit to any games. I could argue it is because of the game themselves but I am…

More Lawsuits

Posted on April 26, 2013April 26, 2013 by Isey

Got this little Diddy hot on the heels of the EA suit. “If you had a PlayStation Network account, a Qriocity account, or a Sony Online Entertainment account at any time before May 15, 2011, you could get benefits from a class action……” for more information clicky here I’m guessing I got it because I…

Tell Me What You Want (What You Really, Really, Want)

Posted on September 20, 2011February 14, 2015 by Isey

I think MMO nostalgia makes us funny people. Just yesterday I was thinking about EQ and the amazing times had there with people I still consider ‘amazing’. Hell, I even went to my first ever guild message boards (circa 1999) after a 3 year hiatus to go say “hi” and see who was still kicking around…

Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?

Posted on June 16, 2009June 16, 2009 by Isey

Breaking news over at broken toys – the return of an old MMO hero/villain. Is Brad McQuaid back? Myself, as well as others tend to think it’s a hoax. Let’s chat about it a bit – it has been a slow gaming “work” week anyway.

Happy Birthday, EQ

Posted on March 27, 2009March 17, 2015 by Isey

EQ was my first MMO girlfriend. She was a bit cranky, and demanding on my time, but looking back I wouldn’t change a thing (looking forward is another matter). Those sweet, sweet evenings spent together shaped my gaming expectations and experiences. It is true that you never forget your first. EQ Nostalgia after the break….
