Gaming Goals Review: August
I started this back in June 2015, and have been keeping up with it this past month. I had reduced my goals for July because I knew that we would have limited play time as we had ten days of vacation time, as well as getting ready to move on August 1st. So, let’s see if tuning down my goals made them easier to accomplish! Goals: Relax and game! WildStar Goals Chestnut Reach the max tier of the PvP contracts for the first time ever Reach max reputation in Crimson Badlands Reach max rep in Northern Wastes Complete my AMP (55) and AP (48) points Put up Yardcore Nexus twice once for the…

Yardcore Nexus | Episode 8 – Katia Managan
Katia was great and stepped up as the eighth volunteer for my project, Yardcore Nexus, where I tour a plot in WildStar and interview the creator!

Blaugust Conqueror
I’m coming out of con-coma, finally, and real life (aside from work) has calmed down. Expect some posts and videos incoming, as I’ve a renewed vigor now that I’m feeling less pressured in my personal life. This post is going to be a quick recap of Blaugust to get my blogging fingers going again, especially since I ended up a Conqueror for 2015! You can view the full list of Challengers, Survivors, and Conquerors over at Bel’s blog. And thank you again, Bel, for setting up such a fun event! Much in the vein of Murf, I’m putting a post together of all the posts I made for Blaugust this…

So You Want To Be A Gladiator
Monday night, Chaide and I hopped into Final Fantasy for a bit. We had initially wanted to do the Anniversary event, but decided instead to spend some time working on picking up our new classes. Chaide is picking up Conjurer, and I’m picking up Gladiator to level up to thirty. Then, he’s going to continue with Conjurer, and I’m going to switch back to Marauder and we’re going to level those to fifty. Our plan is to purchase Heavensward when we hit fifty, and then finish through the 2.0 and 2.5 storylines so that we can get some XP out of it. So, I picked up my Gladiator quests, and…

I Regret Nothing
This is post 31 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and see all the fabulous people that participated this year, visit the Blaugust Nook! Today is the last day of Blaugust. What does this mean? That myself and a bunch of other folks have put in a lot of time and effort into trying to blog daily (or at least post 31 times during the month if we couldn’t make it daily)! Going into Blaugust, I thought I’d have a fairly easy time since I was blogging three to four times a week to begin with. What’s adding on a few more days that only need to…

Neutral Good
This is post 30 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! An impromoptu prompt that went through Blaugust recently was that of taking the D&D Alignment test as yourself to see what results you garnered. If I have tracked it correctly, it all stemmed from Eldaeriel‘s post a few days ago. When I took the test, I ended up with the Neutral Good alignment. The quiz states: A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them.…

Marauder Feels
This is post 29 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! As I mentioned, Chaide and I hit 30 in Final Fantasy! So we spent some time going through our level 30 quests, assuming that we’d open up our jobs immediately, but we found out that’s not quite the case. That’s okay, though, we’ll be leveling the other class to 30 as well (mainly because he didn’t mean to do ACN first). For my level 30 quest, I was sent to go take out Kajuta. Time to take my revenge for the child and his family! Time to explore.…

DragonCon 2015 Hype
This is post 28 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Every Labor Day Weekend in Atlanta, there’s this thing called DragonCon. It’s a multi-genre convention that covers various geek-related tracks. It’s fun, but it’s no PAX (they really could use some more gaming stuff! 😉 ). Regardless, I’m really excited for it this year. Chaide and I are able to attend for a change (finances have kept us from doing so in the past), and we live close enough to take the train into the city for a change. The train is also supposedly free this year, which…

Time For Super Snacks
This is post 27 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Stropp from Stropp’s World had a prompt for Blaugust I found interesting: Find a funny or insightful video about games or gaming culture and link or embed it in a blog post, along with enough words to satisfy the Blaugust rules. I consider this video a classic. Whenever the inevitable conversation comes up of, “What are some of your favorite YouTube videos?” I always pull this one out (along with the Star Wars one that cracks me up every single time). Illegal Danish (and the subsequent videos) are…

Warrior, Here I Come!
This is post 26 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! I really need to try to get a better shot of her at the end of dungeons… Chaide and I finally hit thirty tonight in Final Fantasy! Last time we played was way back when I bemoaned the fact that we were stuck at level 29. Tonight, however, thanks to Sylver (a WildStar guildie who’s playing over with Greysky, now) and Keryn, we moved beyond that barrier! We logged in, thinking we’d do some quests over in Little Ala Mhigo, but Sylver told us that if we wanted to…
