#Blaugust2016
Image from Tales of the Aggronaut Another year, another Blaugust! Last year was my first time participating in Blaugust, and I had a lot of fun, even if it was extremely difficult to keep up with the thirty-one posts for the month. But I made it last year! This year, Belghast is doing things a bit differently. While he will still be doing the thirty-one day thing, he’s opened it up to more folks, and made it more of a “get yourself on a content creation schedule you can manage and keep up with” initiative. Which I really like. I enjoy that it’s more about content creation in general, and…

Blaugust Conqueror
I’m coming out of con-coma, finally, and real life (aside from work) has calmed down. Expect some posts and videos incoming, as I’ve a renewed vigor now that I’m feeling less pressured in my personal life. This post is going to be a quick recap of Blaugust to get my blogging fingers going again, especially since I ended up a Conqueror for 2015! You can view the full list of Challengers, Survivors, and Conquerors over at Bel’s blog. And thank you again, Bel, for setting up such a fun event! Much in the vein of Murf, I’m putting a post together of all the posts I made for Blaugust this…

I Regret Nothing
This is post 31 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and see all the fabulous people that participated this year, visit the Blaugust Nook! Today is the last day of Blaugust. What does this mean? That myself and a bunch of other folks have put in a lot of time and effort into trying to blog daily (or at least post 31 times during the month if we couldn’t make it daily)! Going into Blaugust, I thought I’d have a fairly easy time since I was blogging three to four times a week to begin with. What’s adding on a few more days that only need to…

Neutral Good
This is post 30 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! An impromoptu prompt that went through Blaugust recently was that of taking the D&D Alignment test as yourself to see what results you garnered. If I have tracked it correctly, it all stemmed from Eldaeriel‘s post a few days ago. When I took the test, I ended up with the Neutral Good alignment. The quiz states: A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them.…

Marauder Feels
This is post 29 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! As I mentioned, Chaide and I hit 30 in Final Fantasy! So we spent some time going through our level 30 quests, assuming that we’d open up our jobs immediately, but we found out that’s not quite the case. That’s okay, though, we’ll be leveling the other class to 30 as well (mainly because he didn’t mean to do ACN first). For my level 30 quest, I was sent to go take out Kajuta. Time to take my revenge for the child and his family! Time to explore.…

DragonCon 2015 Hype
This is post 28 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Every Labor Day Weekend in Atlanta, there’s this thing called DragonCon. It’s a multi-genre convention that covers various geek-related tracks. It’s fun, but it’s no PAX (they really could use some more gaming stuff! 😉 ). Regardless, I’m really excited for it this year. Chaide and I are able to attend for a change (finances have kept us from doing so in the past), and we live close enough to take the train into the city for a change. The train is also supposedly free this year, which…

Time For Super Snacks
This is post 27 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Stropp from Stropp’s World had a prompt for Blaugust I found interesting: Find a funny or insightful video about games or gaming culture and link or embed it in a blog post, along with enough words to satisfy the Blaugust rules. I consider this video a classic. Whenever the inevitable conversation comes up of, “What are some of your favorite YouTube videos?” I always pull this one out (along with the Star Wars one that cracks me up every single time). Illegal Danish (and the subsequent videos) are…

Warrior, Here I Come!
This is post 26 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! I really need to try to get a better shot of her at the end of dungeons… Chaide and I finally hit thirty tonight in Final Fantasy! Last time we played was way back when I bemoaned the fact that we were stuck at level 29. Tonight, however, thanks to Sylver (a WildStar guildie who’s playing over with Greysky, now) and Keryn, we moved beyond that barrier! We logged in, thinking we’d do some quests over in Little Ala Mhigo, but Sylver told us that if we wanted to…

TGTCML, Part 3
This is post 25 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Aywren, one of the Blaugust participants, posed an impromptu writing prompt on her blog asking: Do you have a game you feel changed your life? Blaugust about it! This post is part three of this journey. You can view part one and part two at your leisure. In the last post, I talked about WoW, and how I discovered it. The last part I detailed was moving over to Llane to play with some friends from college who were more laid-back and not raid-focused. I had recently moved to Georgia for graduate school,…

Phagemaw… So Close!
This is post 24 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Saturday night was raid night. I got the chance to tank some, which was a lot of fun. I was able to re-rune a bit before raid to replace a piece I got, but instead of selling it, I put it into my bank. Maybe I’ll get the four rune slots back as tokens. It’s an idea… we’ll see if it actually works. I didn’t get to re-rune my DPS set, though. There wasn’t enough time before raid, and I had two pieces to try to finagle instead…
