    Yardcore Nexus While Saturday was chores and WildStar raiding, Sunday was a bit more laid back. There was more chores (of course), but we got in some solid gaming time, too. I also decided (as I put together a Yardcore video) that for me to continue enjoying to put out and enjoy putting out Yardcore Nexus, I’m going to have to scale them back to every-other week or so. And not get stressed if real life comes up and delays an episode a week. So, look for Episode 7 later today! I also watched the STOS stream this weekend with Caydiem, but I’m saving thoughts on some of that information…

    Dax’s New Body

    A Rose Would Smell As Sweet So, to the horror of many Star Trek/Star Wars folks, I have created a new alt in SWTOR, and her name is… Jadz’iaa! Yup. Jadzia is (one of) my favorite character(s) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. When I was a kid watching Star Trek, I really wanted to be Jadzia, and I got a little jealous when so-and-so marries her. Because who wouldn’t want to marry Jadzia? One of the things I loved (and still love) about Star Trek is that women were human beings–they weren’t put in just for flavor. They were an integral part of the show. They were just as…

    Chissy Chissy Makes Me Happy

    Best Title Ever I think this is my best blog post title yet. 😛 I was listening to Smile.dk and some other DDR music just before I hopped into SWTOR. So the title just kind of had to happen. And then I giggled for a long while. So, post over the weekend seem to be my foible in blogging. I’m trying to think of solutions. I want to get ready for Blaugust, haha. WildStar This weekend I spent a bunch of time playing around in SWTOR outside of chores and some TSW and WildStar. In WildStar, I spent time attending the Nexus Best Dressed Gala. I was unfortunately late because…

    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,…

    The Weekend Report

    I seem to post less on the weekends. I’d love to try to post more on the weekends. In fact, I’d love to try to start posting daily. See if I can get to it before Blaugust hits! Boss Train, Woop Woop! Saturday I hopped into WildStar for an officer meeting, and then a scheduled Rose Bowl event! Not only did we do Rose Bowl, however, we started a World Boss Train. It was a lot of fun! I even got to do R12 for the first time! I’d love to do both again! We actually downed King Honeygrave!! He’s an extremely buggy boss (no pun intended) and can reset…

    What Makes a Villain?

    If you didn’t know by now, Murf is hosting a Screenshot Safari competition during the Newbie Blogger Initiative. I’m behind on entries, so there will be two this week, I’m sure. This one is based on the topic: Heroes or Villains. It was kind of a tough topic for me to come up with, quite honestly. In WildStar, who are the real villains? The big bad? The factions we fight against? It didn’t feel quite so clear-cut. Because the premise of the game is that we are discovering what the Eldan have left on Nexus. So does that make the Eldan the big bads, or their creation(s)? Lots of questions…

    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…

    SW:TOR Class/Race Matrix

    Just a quick post. My computer’s corrupt hard drive is making it impossible to play the SW:TOR Beta on my computer (sad face!) but the Elephant is amazing and is letting me chug away at his computer. I’m currently taking a break to watch the Elephant play a bit of Skyrim and then watch the Watchmen before coming back to the Beta. One of my goals for this weekend was to make matrixes for the class/race combinations since there have been very few floating around the community. The only one that I have seen, which is somewhat outdated if I recall, was one in a gaming magazine from last year.…
