Anthem – Nothing Left but the Launching

Posted on February 4, 2019February 4, 2019 by Isey

I spent an equal amount of time in Anthem Demo weekend as I did in the VIP weekend – which actually surprised me a bit because my pilot and Javelins carried over meaning I only had two events I could do – Freeplay and the Stronghold. Yes, the same stronghold I had done for 12+hours…

2018 I HAS REVIEW – Q4

Posted on January 16, 2019January 16, 2019 by Isey

October 2018 Posts: 3 (Really? Just 3?) Games: Magic The Gathering: Arena Other Media: October was my second lightest posting month and 3 in a month (along with the couple 5s I had earlier in the year) shows my inability to post consistently. Blogging is one of those things I love when I feel like…

2018 I HAS REVIEW – Q3

Posted on January 9, 2019January 9, 2019 by Isey

July 2018 Posts: 6 Games: World of Warcraft. Magic The Gathering: Arena, Warriors of Waterdeep, Other Media / Non Digital Games: Blaugust Summertime is more time outside time, less gaming time, and even less blogging time. I started a series about some World of Warcraft Specs that I thought would be really fun to include/play…

2018 I HAS REVIEW – Q2

Posted on January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 by Isey

As a Side note, WordPress has changed their base editor and the main thing I hate is that there isn’t a full justification option. And it is built on building blocks of things. Change is hard when you are used to something but sticking to it! It also seems to have changed my font which…

2018 I HAS REVIEW – Q1

Posted on January 4, 2019 by Isey

That time of year is upon us where we look back. I really enjoyed this series last year as the memory gets worse and I get older it’s fun to see what got me excited, dissappointed, and curious throughout the year. As a longer post I am breaking it up in quarters. January 2018 Posts…

Paying to Fix your Mistakes: Destiny 2

Posted on June 6, 2018 by Isey

Much hubaloo was made yesterday when the Destiny 2 Year 2 Roadmap was revealed. They are finally addressing some of the long standing issues and bad design decisions they made in the sequel, and it is release on September 8th, 2018. In a paid expansion, with annual pass option. Oh, hello greed! Nice to see…

They Pull Me Back In : Destiny 2

Posted on October 23, 2017October 23, 2017 by Isey

My previous post about Destiny 2 was supposed to be my last one until the next expansion. If you love something set it free – if it comes back… blah blah blah. I had/have become too negative about a game I am no longer playing – but that frustration is born out of love! The…

No Satisfaction : Destiny 2

Posted on October 16, 2017October 17, 2017 by Isey

Media is reporting that Destiny 2 physical sales are down 50% during this period over the 2014 Destiny 1 release. While not a big surprise as consumers shift away from boxes, analysts hit Activision pretty hard. “The launch month of Destiny 2 was well short of the original iteration by a material amount,” Piper Jaffray…

Third Party Markets – Destiny 2

Posted on October 2, 2017October 10, 2017 by Isey

In 2008 I argued that the best way to solve WoW’s third party gold selling problem was to sell gold themselves. They had lost the ability to control their own in game economy and the best way to fix that would be to crowd out the third party markets making it not worthwhile for the…

Destiny 2 – Not a Sequel, as Suspected.

Posted on September 20, 2017 by Isey

I am not picking on Destiny 2 for the sake of it. I like the game. My disappointment rests on the fact that it has underachieved in my eyes as a true sequel and opportunity to move the game forward. This thought was further compounded by the seemingly light and lack of content in the…

Destiny – A Game With No Competitor

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Isey

It did strike me as odd, as I played through the Destiny 2 ‘beta’ on PC last night that no other company has tried their hand at taking dollars away from Destiny.  This is quite shocking, actually, when you think about it. Gaming studios are much like movie studios – they tend to launch the…

The Dog-Gaming Days of Summer

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Isey

Ok, I messed that phrase up in a proper context, but I am still using it in the way I originally perceived it – the “lazy” days of summer. It lines up nicely with my mood and current gaming habits. (Here is the NG article explaining what it should mean) This summer has been lazy…

This and That

Posted on May 25, 2017 by Isey

Destiny Hot off the heels of me ranting about the ridiculousness of the base premise of Destiny – I am happy to report I spent most of my rainy, Canadian long weekend playing Destiny. It is not hypocritical to me because as a PVE shooter it is a wonder and a beauty to behold.  Which…

Destiny 2 – Immortal Zombies Unite

Posted on May 19, 2017May 20, 2017 by Isey

Destiny is a game that I loved everything about except the story. I made a ton of fun of the story. It ate me apart from the inside just thinking about it. Trying to understand the story was equal to drinking a bottle of acid. Maybe it goes down okay in the first instant, but…

Bahs and Humbugs

Posted on December 28, 2016 by Isey

Ghost of Christmas Past (Tis The Season!) I haven’t really been a holiday season type for much of my formative time here on earth.  It was a life made up of phases. Kid phase, awesome of course. The presents, the mystery, the joy. Young adult phase, awesome too. Parties with friends, travel, excitement. In my…

WoW Doesn’t Need More Revenue Streams

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Isey

Blizzard loves giving more value to people who have more time. I hate everything about this, from the perspective where I am at as a gamer right now. Yes, this is a bit of a selfish rant (to be up front out of the gate) Coming soon to an Azeroth near you: the WoW Token,…

The Tombstone Quandary

Posted on October 17, 2014May 2, 2017 by Isey

There is a quandary around movies that I noticed in the 90’s where movie studios are afraid to be left behind in the market. When one was making a movie about, say, Tombstone  the other major one would follow-up eerily close with Wyatt Earp. Big studio coming out with a disaster movie about Volcanos? Better not be left behind! I…

Facepalm Design Decision: September Edition

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Isey

[Author’s note – I wrote this one night after a long day. When I reread it in the morning it is far more “ranty” than I normally write. I thought about editing and taming it a bit, but in the end, decided to keep it intact. This is how I felt about it when I discovered it and…

25 KM with Destiny

Posted on September 12, 2014September 12, 2014 by Isey

I have spent three solid nights playing Destiny on my X-Box 360 and elliptical. I have totalled around 25 kilometers on the athletic device and level 10 on my Titan, 5 on my Hunter, and 2 on my Warlock. I do one hour stints on the elliptical but continue to play a couple hours afterwards…

500 Million Dollar Baby

Posted on September 10, 2014September 10, 2014 by Isey

It seems a pretty fair and common thought that people equate the cost of an item with how good it is. A 5 million dollar home is probably better than a 1 million dollar home, which is better than a $100,000 trailer. A FERRARI is better than a BMW which in turn is better than a…

Shooters, Consoles and Destiny – Oh My!

Posted on September 8, 2014September 8, 2014 by Isey

I have a long love of First Person Shooters and much like the MMO genre it has pretty much left me behind. The FPS experience wanted today and how they are programmed are very much not the kind of FPS I enjoy. I cut my teeth on shooters with Rainbow Six multi-player ladder. Rainbow Six…

My Influential 15

Posted on March 24, 2014March 24, 2014 by Isey

One of my favorite blogs to visit is The Ancient Gaming Noob (TAGN) and he recently posted an Influential 15  list – started by another blogger and other sites are also playing along. The parts I read indicated not too many rules, but just do not overthink it – only take 15 minutes, and list…

More Proof of the Decline of Western Civilization

Posted on November 16, 2010November 16, 2010 by Isey

Stolen directly from Gregg Easterbrook of Tuesday Morning Quarterback (TMQ). The Zubon of the football world (meant as a compliment). And yes, it is game related. Not only did huge numbers of people buy the latest “Call of Duty” video game — which allows you to play the role of Richard Nixon killing zombies —…
