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! Level up alts to burn up all the rested XP they have Completed! FFXIV Cactuar WAR 50 PLD 40 ARC 25 CNJ 20 TSW…

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…

Thoughts on The X-Files – Season 1, Episodes 7-12
I enjoyed writing up my reactions to the first six episodes, and definitely plan on continuing. In this bit, I’m going to delve into episodes 7-12 of Season 1. This batch of episodes is also a mixed bag, but had some stellar episodes as well. In fact, it ended up in a better position than the previous six episodes. *I have color coded the episodes using green (I enjoyed it), yellow (I could take it or leave it), and red (I didn’t enjoy it (or possibly didn’t watch it—check the summary)). Episode 7: Ghost in the Machine An episode focusing around Artificial Intelligence. Think anything by Asimov, and it’s pretty much this episode. The episode overall was……

Thoughts on The X-Files – Season 1, Episodes 1-6
I’ve been delving into X-Files for the first time in my life (yes, really) the past few months. For a while I’ve been wanting to do some sort of review or thoughts piece, but I could never figure out how to do it, until an idea struck me just yesterday. One of my friends is also watching X-Files for the first time, though is a few seasons behind me, and is running into the same issues I did with certain episodes. Having pushed my way into Season 8, I really do feel that skipping some episodes in Seasons 6 and 7 are almost necessary. So I’m going to work through…

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…

#DatingSimonth: Men of Yoshiwara
#DatingSimonth Image from Chic Pixel So apparently I missed the memo, but there’s this really cool initiative going around for 2016 called Community Game Alongs. And this month, it happens to revolve around dating sims! How did I miss this?! Having just gotten into Otome, I’ve been devouring everything I could find, buying up any I could find on Steam with great deals, and generally building a collection so I always have one to play if I don’t feel like playing on Mobile. And looking at the rest of the schedule, I can see myself participating in quite a few more of them, especially after I buy myself a Vita…

Gaming Goals: January
I’ve been enjoying putting together this gaming goals thing I decided to try out in June. It’s helped me focus my time and come up with blog posts. Life has remained at a constant busy-level thanks to work, so my goals are going to remain small for now. I got this in the bag. WildStar Get my last AP (48 total) point! Rune out my DPS set with class runes (pants) Get my tanking set figured out on Chestnut Level up alts to burn up all the rested XP they have FFXIV Cactuar WAR 50 PLD 40 ARC 25 CNJ 20 TSW Finish the bloody Blue Mountains already Steam Finish Tokiwa’s endings…

Sunday Scale and Star Wars
Sunday Scale Sandrian over at Aeternus Gaming is doing this personal challenge that she’s labeled Sunday Scale. What she’s doing is something I am also doing—weighing in on the first Sunday of every month and rewarding myself accordingly for hitting a goal. I found that weekly just doesn’t work for me and stresses me out and defeats the purpose of losing weight, so I was going to go down to once-a-month anyway. But, I felt that we could at least support each other, and hopefully make it a little bit easier! I’m going to be super candid with you guys about this. First, this is a really tough topic to…

#Listmas: Holiday Questionnaire Fun
So I’m getting back from vacation and into the swing of things. I figured I’d take it easy and do something simple to get me back into the swing of writing. I stumbled upon this cute little questionnaire over at A Life More Kawaii, and figured I’d fill it out as a way to exercise my brain and fingers. Art by Momo-Deary Favorite holiday movie?White Christmas is away and by far my favorite holiday movie in existence. I’ve always loved the movies that my Grandmother would play for us as kids (1950s movies and the like), and White Christmas just stuck with me. Plus, it’s Bing singing great songs. What…
