A WoW-Shaped Hole
Back Again Back in May Chaide and I got the email from WoW about that free week trial period, so we decided to give it a whirl (… mainly because I was going to write something for MMOGames that I have yet to finish writing… *cough*). And, well, we have yet to leave. We were going to play Alliance, but then we thought about our Druids over on Llane (Chaide and Chestnut) that we started back in 2010, and I thought since they were our mains way back then that maybe we could race change them or something to go play Alliance over with folks in House Stalwart. But then…

#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…

Linking Steam and WildStar
If you didn’t know, WildStar released on Steam today! There’s quite a few players who want to link their Steam and WildStar accounts, so I made up a quick how-to guide to do so. First, a quick list of some benefits for linking the two. Hours played from playing on Steam show up, providing an indication of how popular the game is You get Steam Trading Cards, Badges, and your Achievements link—EPEEN! Easier upload of screenshots to the Steam servers, also showing off the creativity of the community and enticing more people to play On the Community page, there’s a nifty little counter saying how many people are in-game at the…

Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania
All those sexy Transylvania outfits! G’bye, Egypt! Over the weekend, we made our way out of the Scorched Desert and found ourselves headed to Transylvania… finally! It’s taken us about a year to get there… granted, we don’t play on any sort of regular schedule. We’re not too far into Transylvania as far as I can tell. I’m not sure if there’s a second Transylvania zone like there was Egypt. Technically. Even if it had a different name. I like how Transylvania is laid out, so far. Even though we’re moving back and forth from person to person, it feels that a lot more thought was put into the flow…

Gaming Goals: May
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 archive of goals and reviews here. Richard expects me to do well this month. I meant well in March, and then never made goals because real life got extremely overwhelming. May is kind of in-between overwhelming and lots of free-time at the moment. My weekends are fairly free (minus D&D), but my weeks are really busy. So I’m going to try to take it light on goals–especially because ThaydFest is a thing this month. The Secret World…

Creative Blogger Award
Way back in February, the amazing Pizza Maid nominated me for the Creative Blogger Award. I had a draft post half written once I noticed it in early March (d’oh! I’m so bad at my feed reader sometimes!), but then forgot about it when work ramped up, and here we are! Pizza is someone that I happened to meet thanks to the ever-present #BelEffect, and we kind of hit it off with our shared love of Sailor Moon. She has since introduced me to the rabbit hole that is the world of Otome, and here we are, chatting daily on Twitter about whatever floats our boat. She’s a wonderful person,…

I know I couldn’t hit everybody with the thanks, but I sincerely want to thank each and every one of the developers (both past and present) for their hard work and dedication to their games and communities, and never giving up on us or the content. Thank you, so much, for providing…

WildStar’s Tutorial Island
Last week, there was a focus test on the WildStar PTR to try out the new player tutorial/experience. For testing both the Exile and Dominion you would be rewarded with a hoverboard before it became available in-game. Which is pretty nice motivation. Test the new beginning tutorial on the PTR and get the Junkyard Dog hoverboard. Details: https://t.co/zNiCDcY8nX pic.twitter.com/12WH8GsoVK — WildStar (@WildStar) April 5, 2016 So here’s my thoughts and some pictures in a nice little list. Some are faction-specific, and some are not. I was originally thinking of splitting it up for factions, but it is essentially the same thing on both sides, so it made no sense to try…
