Blaugust, Hooo! Logo by Belghast First off, I have to say that I’m super excited that it’s almost time for Blaugust! What is Blaugust, you ask? It’s a challenge to blog each day during August. Belghast started it a few years ago, and continues the tradition this year, as well. He wrote a splendiferous guide on how it’s going to work next month, and I encourage all current Bloggers to join in! I will totally be participating! As for those just starting out blogging, it might be a bit of a challenge as you’re beginning and sussing out your format. However, it’s still a great way to get into the…

Easing Back In
Vacation Fini Friday we got some tasty dinner, and played a long game of Eclipse as a refresher for Chaide and me and a first game for our friend Tal. Saturday was a lot of Eclipse, and then some Love Letter, and then it was the Red Eye to Charlotte, and then back to Atlanta. It was almost twelve hours (if you include the three hours we “gained” going from PST to EST) on planes, so we crashed when we got home, went out to get groceries and dinner, and then picked up the dog. Then it was some relaxation time in WildStar. I didn’t do Day 3 of Hero’s…

Not Dead Yet
Goodness gracious, it’s been a bit since posting. But that’s what a busy vacation does! This is more of a real-life focused “micro-post” (as much as I can write a micro-post, anyway), so read or don’t read–it’s your own discretion. Friday was a Bachelor party for Chaide, Saturday was a car insurance debacle over a silly small paint transfer (and cops being really mean–it kind of ruined my day) as well as a Pre-Wedding hangout, and Sunday was a wedding. We also had to get packed, bring the dog to a friend’s house because they’re being awesome and watching her, and get the cats ready for a week alone. Monday…

To Optimal or Not To Optimal?
Hero’s Journey – Day 1 So, I started Hero’s Journey last night at the gym, to keep up with the LoseIt challenge (which starts a week before the Greysky Armada challenge does–so… yesterday). So, I know I’m not in the best shape, but I average about 9k steps a day, eat healthy, and am slowly losing weight. And even at Level 1, I could barely get halfway through. I was able to do forty of the leg raises, forty of the squats (though I wanted to cry), twenty of the tap toe hops, and none of the climbers. So, what does that mean for the challenge? I had thought about…

Hero’s Journey
Independence Day-Weekend This weekend was a lot of packing, and a little bit of gaming. Thursday we didn’t game any, as we had dinner out with some friends. Friday we didn’t really video game either, as we hung out with a friend in the morning, argued with our apartment complex in the afternoon about our notice to leave (I won’t get into details, but it’s aggravating beyond measure, and we’re being taken advantage of, but that’s better than trying to deal with anything legal and drawing it out plus costing us even more money), and Friday evening/night we hung out with some friends and played a bunch of tabletop games.…

Gaming Goals: July
Trying this out last month seemed to be helpful to me in those waffley “I don’t know what to play!” whiney moments, so I’m going to try it again this month! You might notice that this month the lists are a tad shorter. The reasoning behind this is (1) we’ll be on vacation for about nine days, and (2) I didn’t get through a bunch of things, so I’d like to try to make the list a little more tackle-able. So, without further ado, my gaming goals for July! WildStar Goals Chestnut Reach the max tier of the PvP contracts for the first time ever Reach the max tier of…

F2P Information Cometh!
Almost Twenty-Five No no, not me. Bauxyte! Bauxyte is my Baby Warrior. I’ve been waffling on which alt I want to level next, as I keep discovering some are more fun then others, then changes come out, and a different one is more fun than another. But I always seem to come back to Bauxyte in the end. She’s not the first alt I rolled. In fact, she’s pretty much the most recent one. But there’s just something about a sassy Granok lady in heavy armor, no? Tuesday night was a normals night I set up. We ended up running just one STL and one KV while I was online,…

Gaming Goals Review: June
So, I started something new at the beginning of this month where I decided to set some gaming goals for myself and then see how I did with them, because I’ve much less time than I’d like with real life cropping up and all that jazz. So, let’s review how I did with them! WildStar Goals Reach the max tier of both the PvP and PvE contracts by the end of the month (I still have yet to max them since they came out) Max my rep in the Crimson Badlands and Northern Wastes (The first two daily areas. And no, I still haven’t finished maxing the reps.) Finish out…

Secret World Fun
The Secret World Last night, we hopped into The Secret World and played for a good chunk of time before it was bedtime. We started off checking that we’d finished all our quests in the general vicinity before moving over to Innsmouth Academy. We found out that indeed! We had missed one from John Wolf. So we went to talk to him about Jack. So we went to go seek Jack out and see if we could do something to take care of him. We did our best, but he’ll still be around town for a while, yet. I wonder if there’s quests later on where we can take care…
