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…

The Secret World: Reboot Edition

Posted on March 29, 2017March 29, 2017 by Isey

Hat tip to our friends over at Massively OP, about The Secret World relaunching as The Secret World Legends. So what is Secret World Legends? The official branding docs describe it as “a shared-world action RPG with completely revamped combat, a newly designed progression system, and updated visuals.” I have long argued here that a game…

Half Pregnant

Posted on October 30, 2015April 10, 2017 by Isey

They say you can’t be half pregnant.  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….

Personal Easter Eggs

Posted on May 25, 2015 by Isey

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…

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…

The Beauty of Complexity

Posted on March 24, 2015April 10, 2017 by Isey

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…

Modern Cars and TSW

Posted on March 23, 2015April 10, 2017 by Isey

Features on new cars have taught us to be really terrible drivers. I haven’t looked over my shoulder to go backwards in three years (reverse cam) and I drive a truck. I was driving in a colleague’s Mercedes Benz and he doesn’t have to do shoulder checks because his car tells him if someone is…

TSW – New Player Experience

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Isey

Funcom recently (and seemingly quietly around BlogNation) dropped their Enhanced Player Experience in The Secret World. As a recent purchaser (November 2014) who struggled with some of the well documented issues of the early game (mob density and time to kill) and I even spoke about it in my first blog post about the experience. The…

Peeking into The Secret World

Posted on March 2, 2015March 2, 2015 by Isey

I spent more time in TSW on the weekend and I am getting better at programming my mind to play this game like a point and click adventure. I mean that in a very positive way. If you find a keypad, chances are there is something nearby that will tell you clues to the code….

I Am Pavlov’s Dog

Posted on November 29, 2014April 10, 2017 by Isey

A thing happened to me while playing The Secret World last night – I have realized how much I have been conditioned by the titles I have played over the  years – and I feel dumber for it. I restarted Kingsmouth quests with a new weapon that seems to fit my play style better (assault…

Sessions

Posted on November 24, 2014April 10, 2017 by Isey

Before last weekend I was pretty sure  I was going to have to give in my gamer card. Life is busy and I have learned to prioritize work/life/gaming balance much better than the past. Family, then work, then gaming. Sadly, the realities of a job that demands a lot and a family that I want…

Corporate Governance

Posted on February 27, 2014February 23, 2014 by Isey

This sat in drafts and I never got around to finishing it. Now the info is really outdated, but still – wanted to talk about companies that make games really briefly. First, we have this nice reminder of EA being voted worst company to work for (again) Then, we have FUNCOM being raided for suspected…
