    Hero’s Journey

    Independence Day-Weekend This weekend was a lot of packing, and a little bit of gaming. Thursday we didn’t game any, as we had dinner out with some friends. Friday we didn’t really video game either, as we hung out with a friend in the morning, argued with our apartment complex in the afternoon about our notice to leave (I won’t get into details, but it’s aggravating beyond measure, and we’re being taken advantage of, but that’s better than trying to deal with anything legal and drawing it out plus costing us even more money), and Friday evening/night we hung out with some friends and played a bunch of tabletop games.…

    Third Sub

    Gym Battle The long weekend was pretty nice. I have found that when I have more time to spend with Chaide, the less likely I am to take the time to blog. Which is great, because I love spending time with him, but I don’t take the time to do something else I love, and won’t take all that much time away from hanging out with him. Ah, the dilemma. Anyway, this weekend I decided that I really needed to join a gym. Working out at home has turned into not working out at home. And my back is paying for it. To the point where I was considering seeing a…

    Drop 5 Shenanigans

    So this past week in WildStar has been a lot of fun! Why, you ask? Drop 5 happened Tuesday!! Tuesday What was the first thing I did when Drop 5 happened? Well, went through my bags, bank, costumes, etc., but then just kind of putzed around Thayd. I’m one of those folks taht doesn’t like to do everything new the first day because (1) it’s a little overwhelming to try to absob all the changes at once and (2) there’s usually bugs no matter how thoroughly things are tested on a PTR. It’s the same with pretty much any game. I finally found the Cheese while working on challenges in…

    Guess Who’s Back: Life In Retrospect

    Oh, I love how I keep saying “I’ll blog more,” but then never get around to it. I’ll get better about it eventually. Life, overall, has had quite a few ups and downs. And very little time for gaming. Life  Feel free to skip this. I don’t normally bemoan or mention real life much online, as I feel they should be as separate as they can be. However, life has been such a rollercoaster since November, that I felt it was best to get it all out and be done with brooding in my head. Please, feel free to skip this section. In November I lost an okay job in…

    The Week in Retrospect: SKYRIM!!!

    So, to keep myself blogging at least once a week (hopefully more?), I plan on posting about what’s happened during the week for me regarding gaming, and possibly real life if it isn’t too personal or something. (There’s only so much one can be willing to put on the Interwebs, right?) The BlogThis week I spent some time updating the blog layout. More minor tweaks than anything. Changed some colors around so they weren’t so ouchy on the eyes (which I discovered with a new monitor were quite ouchy) as well as elongating the banner and hosting it on a (really small) personal space I had during grad school. It…

    Xbox Addiction

    The boyfriend (whom you shall come to know as the Elephant) has “moved in” his Xbox to my apartment. My PS2 lovingly bit the dust a few weeks ago, and the Xbox has since become a DVD player. On non-school and work nights he’s over here anyway, so he’s not missing out on it too much. He also brought over all his games, and they’re currently sharing shelf space with my DVDs. I was reluctant at first…but I gave in. Yes, I did. I gave in wholeheartedly. Gone are the days where WoW rules my existence (sort of). I have been playing Fallout 3 and Eternal Sonata to my little…
