WildCast & Yardcore
Wildcast Podcast Episode 61 Wildcast’s newest episode is out, and you can listen to Avidguru, Dahk, and me talk about all manner of things related to WildStar including ThaydFest II, Drop 5, and the Ravaging of Arboria! If you play WildStar and don’t listen to the podcast yet, you should! Avid and Behalter are awesome, and lots of fun. 🙂 Check out Episode 61! Yardcore Nexus I recorded the first Yardcore Nexus last night with Cirinde, who was kind enough to volunteer to be the first person. I’m not too fond of the video quality, though, based on how many issues I was having with even getting the video to…

Videos Incoming
You’re going to be seeing some more video posts pop up on the blog in the coming months. I’ve been having fun playing through my (quite large) library of games, and recording myself playing said games. Chaide and I are also doing a play-through of The Secret World with completely new characters (and may be joined by some friends from time to time) and those will be shared here as well. The third type of videos you’ll see are a weekly Yardcore: Nexus. In these videos, I’ll be sitting down with a community house creator in WildStar, and taking a tour of (one of) their plots while we talk about…

WildStar Companion Pets: Vendor Mania
This is a partial guide on where to find the various companion pets being implemented in Drop 5, specifically from various vendors around the world. I’ll be adding a “Drops” guide as I continue to gain drops both on PTR and Live (once implemented).

MMO Desires IRL
Over at Massively OP, the Daily Grind asked: If you could choose 3 things from your favorite MMO to be in your real life, what would it be and why? So, I hate writing in comments on sites because there’s always some sort of vitriol that gets thrown around. And while I commend Massively OP for kicking out the trolls, it’s still not something I like to subject myself to on a daily basis. On the internet in general. Honestly, the only place I read the comments is Imgur because they’re just funny. Anyway, my three things I’d want IRL from MMOs in no particular order are… 1. Fast travel/hearthstone/portals…

Chocobos and Saucers
Last night, Chaide and I worked hard at grinding out company seals so we could try to get our Chocobos. It took a few hours, and some running around, but we finally got them!! We did it through FATEs and trying to kill a few things in our Hunting Log. Probably not the most optimal (nor fastest) solution, but with different Free Companies, we kind of wanted to do it together. Meet Topaz So named because eventually I will be feeding him (eventually) so he turns blue. He might not be the exact color of Topaz, possibly lighter, but I thought it was a fitting name for a blue Chocobo.…

Grand Companies…Finally
The past two nights we’ve continued our quest to be part of a Grand Company! Primal Lore We began with a cut scene of Thancred being kind of emo, and some story regarding the Primals and tempering. Chaide commented that if they had to explain why they’re doing what they’re doing, and not reveal it to the public, is it really right? I have to hand it to him, it’s definitely something to consider. But at the same time, if we knew all that our government-of-choice knew, would it be best for everybody as a whole? More than likely not. Some people would be able to handle it, and some…

Ifrit
Some of Saturday, and a good chunk of Sunday, Chaide and I spent time working on our main story line quests to unlock our mounts and Grand Companies. Scions of the Seventh Dawn We were sent off to meet with a singing Lalafel named Tataru who was absolutely adorable, and sent us down to meet the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, with Minfilia as the head. I took a lot of screenshots, so I won’t post them all, but it was a lot of fun learning some of the lore behind the Scions and how they were formed after the organizations in 1.0 disappeared with the rebirth of the game.…

ThaydFest II, WildCast Podcast, and Yardcore
ThaydFest Last Sunday (the 15th), Black Dagger Society and a bunch of other guilds (in particular, Blazing Saddles) and folks on the Entity server (Exile side) put together an awesome WildStar event called ThaydFest! We had a bunch of people come out for all the events and hang out and just be awesome together. We held a housing contest called Lifestyles of Nexus where judges went around to folks’ houses and we came up with winners, whose plots are pretty damn awesome! You can see videos if you go look at the winners. Twitter was afoot with tons of pictures and streams and videos and comments. It was so great…
