Gaming Goals: June
WildStar Gaming yesterday was a bit lacking. I did log into WildStar, but I mainly started taking care of some guild-management stuff for when we go F2P. A lot of combing the roster, seeing if folks have applied to our site, yada yada. I also put together Episode 5 of Yardcore Nexus, which takes some time. And it doesn’t always cooperate with the game, either, so at one point I had to sit and watch Netflix while my video rendered. I think that’s a sign I need an upgrade to my computer? But I’m not sure what to upgrade. Besides, we don’t have the extra cash for it right now,…

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…

Favorite MMO Fantasy Setting
Today at Massively OP, the Daily Grind asked what your favorite MMO fantasy setting is. For me, it’s three different games. I am not classifying WildStar as a fantasy, as I much more see it as sci-fi than fantasy. World of Warcraft While I no longer play WoW, I’ve always loved the Outlands. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s when I first really got into the game (so it’s nostalgia) or because it’s just that great of a map. Or both. My favorite zone within the Outlands was probably Nagrand, with Zangarmarsh as a very close second. The zones just felt so expansive and full of life. Final Fantasy XIV Every zone…

Chocobo Racing
This weekend, Chaide and I played a bit in the Manderville Saucer. I loved the mini-games, but didn’t bother with the Triple Triad table. Maybe I will try a game sometime this week and see if I like it or not. I’m not the best at card games, so I’m kind of hesitant. Off to the Races The one thing I was looking forward to the most at the saucer was the Chocobo Racing. And I found out I kind of suck at it. Most of the time I ended up in eighth place. I did win once, but I call it luck based on how terrible I was doing…

Dev/Creator Appreciation Week, EVE, FFXIV, Neverwinter, Secret World, Star Trek Online, WildStar, WoW
Developer Appreciation Week 2015
Today marks the final day of Developer Appreciation Week for 2015. Lots of folks around the blogosphere have been thanking Developers in games that have made a difference in their life (even a small one) left and right. While there have been many games I’ve played that have made a difference in my life, whether they be console, handheld, or one-shot computer games, I would like to specifically thank the MMO developers out there. Why? Belghast said it best: I have a hard time viewing these companies as the evil empires they are made out to be. No one sets out wanting to make a horrible product, and no one…

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…
