    https://t.co/va9J947uMaSEDUCE ME 2: THE DEMON WAR IS ON STEAMGREENLIGHT! pic.twitter.com/foqC5H74pr — Michaela Laws (@VAMichaelaLaws) March 28, 2016 Seduce Me 2: The Demon War is an otome game looking for members of the gaming community to greenlight the game for release on Steam. The game itself had a successful Kickstarter and will be releasing in May 2016. You’re probably asking, “Why should I Greenlight this?”. There are a number of reasons, but first, let’s cover some background information.   Read more of this article here.

    Butts and Bosses

    The Great Butt Debate Note: If you could care less, there’s a lighter non-butt related topic (it’s boardgames instead) below! 😀 So if you’re living under a rock, last week a post over on the Blizz forums for Overwatch spawned a huge thing that folks have started referring to as #TracerGate or #ButtGate (and side note, can we just stop with the “gate” crap? It only made sense for Watergate). The Internet blew up, as it is wont to do and folks started raging on either side of the spectrum about how “SJWs are taking butts away” and “GGs are opressing females yet again” and the rest of us were…

    WildStar is Home

    If you haven’t heard, yet, Carbine released approximately 60-70 folks on Friday with the most PR-worthy of PR jargon posts I’ve yet to see (though it doesn’t surprise me based on who wrote it). I won’t get into a rant on the post, as Big Damn Heroes over at Notes from Nexus has a well-written rant that covers some of how I feel. So instead, I want to cover my feels and thought process without a rant… mostly. But be forewarned, the sailor mouth is coming out a bit! The Wall of Text I can tell you that I cried a lot on Friday. Even at work, I had to…

    Gaming Goals: March

    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. Going to sass my way through March (and Egypt)! January had a nice balanced list of stuff, but real-life started hitting me harder than expected in February. Life is going to continue to do that through most of March, but I’m going to see if I can’t keep many of the same goals and continue towards them. The Community Game-Along theme this month is Monster Hunter-likes, but it doesn’t really sound…

    Gaming Goals Review: February

    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.

    Level 49… So Close!

    Little Ladies’ Day I’ve been trying to get Chaide back into FFXIV a little bit by trying to play at least once a week for a few hours. He’s still feeling a bit jaded from when the MSQ (spoilers) had you go around for five levels or so just doing one-off stupid quests to put together a banquet. Definitely not the strongest part of the story, but one he’s not been able to put past him in worry that it will some day do it again. Which, so far as I know, it will not, because I’ve only been told the story gets good from where we are. But I cannot…

    Black Desert Online Closed Beta… Sorta

    I was able to obtain a CBT2 key for Black Desert Online, and hop into the game the other weekend. Sadly, it wasn’t as much as I liked. I spent about three hours total in the game, with the majority of the time spent on character creation. But here are some initial impressions, both good and bad. The character creator is God-like. I loved being able to create a short, stout, tatted warrior lady with epic red hair. The opening cinematic was… loud? Confusing. It was definitely confusing. The story didn’t really grab me off the get-go. But at least it wasn’t overly long like Blade & Soul was. The…

    Community Game-Along Game Choices, Part 1

    Community Game-Along Image by Chic Pixel Not too long ago I mentioned stumbling upon the Community Game-Along challenge for 2016, which featured dating sim games for January. This has apparently been put on for a few years by Apricot Sushi, and I figured why not try it out? But looking at the list, some months are going to be much easier than others. And some I just might need some suggestions, so I hope folks have some! I wanted to lay out what I wanted to play, though, so it was easier to keep track of why I had specific games in my Steam library, for instance, or which games…

    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.
