I was very excited for Anthem’s latest big patch to address some of the issues the game was facing. I had taken a “wait until next patch” break from the game. I will not recap the patch notes and fixes, but will reiterate what I have said here several times. The loot / reward system…

Party Like it’s 1999
The downside for fancy screenshot programs is that it really doesn’t want to work with an emulated program of a game from 20 years ago. I know I have spared most of you the blocky, funny character textures but they do have a certain charm. I want to roll up a Troll just to see…
Slow Progress, Happy Birthday: Project 1999, Everquest
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:…
Legendary Luck? : Anthem
Much to my chagrin, the loot love that Anthem was giving out turned out to once again be a loot bug. Feel free to go to the Reddit and read the 100+ posts about how the game was in a great spot until the reversion. It is definitely up to Bioware on this and their…
Giveth, Taketh Away : Anthem
On a train and reading Reddit it became clear immediately that MasterWork drop rates have increased in Anthem – every other post is about how great it is to get more loot and how much fun everyone is having. Many people (including myself) discussed that due to the inscription pool increasing loot drops would go…
Another Sign the Apocalypse is Upon Us : Marshmello, Fortnite
My 13 year old was upset that we went out for dinner because he was unable to log into Fortnite to watch a Marshmello concert. Pausing for dramatic effect. Re-read that sentence. He wanted to pick out his favourite outfit and dance moves, and go to a digital concert. Marshmello is a kind of a…
I HAS PC : Orange is the New Black
It’s been a long time and there are some things about my site that I liked, and some that I didn’t. LIKED: My Sidebar. Especially the Blogroll. DISLIKED: Images were base SO small, due to the size of the sidebar LIKED: Orange. It’s not even my favourite color or anything, but the blog has had…
Tic Tac Toe : Anthem, Magic, Project 1999
While Anthem is the game I am spending the most time on, I am also playing Magic The Gathering Arena and Project 1999 daily. They are all very different but fill a nice spot. With not a big post on anything today I decided to touch on all three to make a post out of…
The Other Side of the Coin : Anthem
After my post yesterday about the frustrations of progression in Anthem after a weekend in the Elder game I logged in last night and something amazing happened. I played for three hours, had a ton of fun, and didn’t once think about the loot. Funny how that happens sometimes. Sorry to go all bipolar on…
Anthem Master(needs)Work
I had a weekend to enjoy the end game of Anthem and while I am keen on the game (clearly), I have continued to admit much work needs to be done. The good still very much outweighs the bad in pretty much every way on your journey to level 30. Now at level 30 and…
