Stop! Selfie Time!
Murf over at Murf Versus has posed a challenge as a part of the Newbie Blogger Initiative this year, called the Screenshot Safari: For my part in the NBI2015, I want to see your screenshots. Each week in May, I am challenging everyone to publish a post featuring a favorite screenshot and why that screenshot best fits a particular theme. You can choose freely from the list of themes, but please only submit one post per theme. Considering this is a weekly event, that means only four overall submissions are allowed, so make them count! One of the themes is “Selfie”. As many folks have already posted, I’m also going…

Delving Into Comics
May the 4th Be With You First, I need to offer up the obligatory: Happy Star Wars day! I probably won’t end up celebrating today by watching the movies or anything, but I do hope to get them in when Mom is in town, so it might be a belated Star Wars day on my end. So, my ultimate question is: Is it Revenge of the Fifth or Sixth? I’ve heard both. And when I googled, I came across this little gem. While it doesn’t clear it up at all, it makes it highly more entertaining. Especially the Tweety Bird reference. To Comic or Not to Comic? So, growing up…

Yardcore Nexus | Episode 3 – Proxima Dust
My Yardcore Nexus series has been picked up at QueueTimes, and I’ve been brought on board there as a contributor! They’re awesome, however, and are letting me post my Yardcore videos on my personal blog, too. I will be creating a weekly Let’s Play on Mondays for Shadowrun Returns, so you can catch those only over at QueueTimes! Though I’ll ping a note via Twitter when they go up. ———- Proxima was a wonderful sport and stepped up as the third volunteer (despite microphone and technical issues) for my new project, Yardcore Nexus, where I tour a plot in WildStar and interview the creator! Get in touch with Proxima:WildStar ForumsIn…

True Detective
WildStar Week Ladies in front, boys in the back! (LtoR: Sheae, Doom Kitty, Myself, Positive, Camara) This past week was a busy week in WildStar. Tuesday night we ran Bay of Betrayal on the PTR again, and almost downed the last boss! We’re going to try again next week. I’m in the process of writing a post for my thoughts on the Drop 5 PTR, and I hope to be posting it soon (as it includes a fast-forwarded video of us running Bay of Betrayal). Friday was our “Normals Night” as I like to call it. We have a lot of 50s that run Veteran/high level content throughout the week,…

Meeting with the Resistance
Newbie Blogger Initiative Yesterday marked the first day of May, and therefore, the first day of the Newbie Blogger Initiative for 2015. What is NBI? Well, Belghast did a really great write-up of what it is and why you should participate in it over at MMOGames, so check that out! What does it mean for the blog? Well, it means that I’ll hopefully be posting a bit more. Especially since Murf at Murf Versus has come up with a, well, challenge, essentially, called the #NBI2015Safari that I’m looking forward to participating in. I do have to say that completing NBI may be a bit of a challenge for me this month,…

Creative Blogger Award
So, the amazing Murf at Murf Versus tagged me with the Creative Blogger Award. I’m very honored, because he’s a blogger I admire greatly, and he said some very nice things about my blog that are greatly appreciated, and gave me some warm-fuzzies. Much along the same vein as the Liebster award, I must answer some questions and tag some folks. The rules entail the following: Nominate 15-20 blogs and notify them via their social media/blogs. Thank and post the link of the person who nominated you. Share 5 facts about yourself to your readers. Pass on the rules. Much like Murf and his nominator Kelly, I won’t be able to…

Faffing About
Last night Chaide and I got in a little bit of Final Fantasy, which I was very excited to do. Due to mainly a WildStar filled week, we don’t get much time for FFXIV or TSW as we would like. We have set aside some weekend time to TSW so long as our third (Camara) is online–but he’s had a very odd work schedule as of late with lots of travel, including some overseas, so we’ve been holding off on leveling without him. I did tell Chaide that I wanted to get into FFXIV more, especially while he’s working on things for school, so I’m hoping to get in and…

Veteran Dungeon Bonanza
Wine Tasting Last night Chaide and I went to my first ever wine tasting. It was Tuscany wines, and was a lot of fun. I am new to the world of wines, having always preferred various takes on Hard Ciders and hard liquors, particularly Whiskies. I found three that I liked, and we’re going to start a list of wines we’d like to purchase whenever we feel like wine, or have guests. As we’re also looking to start a family soon, I felt compelled to do some research on how/if pregnant women are even allowed to go to wine tastings. In today’s culture (at least in the USA) there’s so…
