    I’m Too Sexy For Your Party

    The Bunny Leotard Let’s put on a little mood music to start us off. On Thursday, Chaide and I hopped into The Secret World for some alt shenanigans. We’ve been playing Castanea and Hellviss together when we can’t have the four of the core group together for leveling purposes. Sometimes Cam will join us on a toon, and sometimes Sheae will join us on a toon. Regardless, we were playing our alts on Thursday because Sheae had some prior obligations and was unable to play. It worked out in our benefit, though. Usually when we’re playing, we’re recording for the Let’s Play videos so I can’t listen to Beyond the…

    Gaming Goals: February

    I started these Gaming Goals posts back in June 2015 as a way to try to organize my gaming time around freelance obligations as well as my day-job and general life obligations. You can view the backlog of goals and reviews here. Love is in the air! And fortunes too, apparently. I think January had a good length list with both some easy and not-so-easy goals to work toward. I’m going to try to continue that flow this month. WildStar Finish Celestion achievements Get Bauxyte to level 40 Cycle through toons to burn rested EXP Upload completed Yardcore 10 Final Fantasy XIV WAR 50 FSH 30 BOT 30 MIN 30…

    Gaming Goals Review: January

    I started this back in June 2015, and have been keeping up with it this past month. I’ve kept reducing my goals due to real life, and I think I hit a stride heading into December, and have kept it up for the most part. Look! I made a pretty chart of my game time for the month! WildStar Get my last AP (48 total) point! Completed! Rune out my DPS set with class runes (pants) Completed! (And put them in shoulders) Get my tanking set figured out on Chestnut Completed!

    Why I Became a Grand Master

    It’s Purchased I didn’t get the post out in time to let folks purchase it. If you haven’t heard by now, The Secret World is revamping their membership benefits, which went into effect earlier today. Also of note, the Grand Master pack is on sale for 25% off—for a total of $150 USD. Chaide and I took a look at our finances, finagled some things around, and picked up the Grand Master pack last week, and we have no regrets about our purchase. Is It Worth It? Before we decided to shell out $300 total, we took a look at our upcoming finances first, and then looked at what we’d…

    Goodbye, Blue Mountains!

    The Gathering Last night we actually had a large chunk of time to be able to game, and decided to spend it in The Secret World, since we hadn’t really played much of it lately. Being able to play is hit or miss, because we’re trying to finagle the busy schedules of at least three, if not four people together on specific toons (so that we don’t get too far ahead of each other). So we decided to finally finish out the Blue Mountains, because Chaide and I were pretty sick of it, which is another reason we were dragging our feet. Meeting Joseph We headed over to the Wabanaki…

    Hell Hath Come

    Hell Raised This post is a part of #IntPiPoMo! You can find out more, and sign up at this link. A few Fridays ago, Chaide, Cam, and I decided that we wanted to get a Hell run together in The Secret World… finally! I vaguely recall running it before back when we had originally played, because I remembered a few boss mechanics. We grabbed Moon (whom you’ll meet later in videos as I get them uploaded… which I should do soon!), and one of our FFXIV FC-mates who gladly came along for the ride. Overall, the dungeon was a lot of fun! We’re confused why some of our lore is missing,…
