At this point in time, I'm not really playing anything. I'm currently on a mini-vacation in Minnesota visiting family, and then when I come home I'm starting my brand new job (which I am STOKED about and can't share details just yet). I've unsubscribed to Elder Scrolls Online and I'm going to unsub from WoW... Continue Reading →
Moving on from ArcheAge….for now!
Sometimes, you just have to know yourself and know your limits. I played ArcheAge up to level 18, farmed a bit, quested a lot, tried out a few class skill trees, and I know that 100% without a doubt I want to play this game in live. It's the kind of game that I could... Continue Reading →
A Few ArcheAge Screenshots
I streamed ArcheAge last night for a couple hours, so if you'd like to watch my stream feel free to click here. The most notable event was me getting my Glider for the first time! Gliders are pretty neat, they basically let you 'fly' for short distances without being a 24/7 flying mount, and it's... Continue Reading →
ArcheAge Founders Packs are Live (But They’re Not Cheap)
Though it was leaked early on Massively (so it isn't a huge surprise), Trion released their Founders Packs for ArcheAge today on their online store. The prices and rewards vary, but you can see the full list below of everything you get. Keep in mind that ArcheAge is a free-to-play game with a subscription option,... Continue Reading →
Got My First Farm in ArcheAge
One thing about ArcheAge that has intrigued me from the beginning is the concept of farming. There are countless seeds to plant and things to grow, and you will need to grow these things in order to craft and trade and make things for yourself. You can raise crops and plants but also animals,... Continue Reading →
ArcheAge: Why is everything SO adorable?!
The subject line of this post is not a complaint. I came into ArcheAge not really expecting to be blown away, and ending up realizing that a lot of elements of the game are *exactly* made for me. But nothing else demonstrates this quite so much as some screenshots of the cuteness. The screenshot above... Continue Reading →
ArcheAge, y’all! In the NA alpha!
I was fortunate enough to get into the ArcheAge NA Alpha this week, and I downloaded the client yesterday and hopped right in. I had watched a few streams (namely, Cohh's) and was more than a little intrigued by the game, so I'm super excited that I have a chance to really dig in and... Continue Reading →
Not Sure How I’m Feeling Anymore about ESO
The last week or so I've been laid up with a back/hip injury, so I had some time over the weekend to play The Elder Scrolls Online when I felt good enough to sit in a chair. While I was pretty positive overall with ESO the last time I wrote, I'm now starting to feel... Continue Reading →
Still Scrolling Like an Elder, Online
I have to admit that my gaming time has been severely lacking lately. I'm interviewing for a new job (my current contract expires end of April), getting outdoors to spend time with my horse, and generally enjoying the non-gaming life. However, when I *have* been playing, it's been Elder Scrolls Online. I think I really... Continue Reading →
Elder Scrolls Online: Day 1
You didn't think I was going to let an MMO release go by without at least dipping my toes in to gauge the temperature, did you? I've played very little of Elder Scrolls Online, but enough to make me realize it's worth trying it out. I picked up the Imperial edition for the 5-day headstart,... Continue Reading →
