Posted on August 15, 2016 by baudattitude

I have realized that Everquest 2 is, at its heart, a complicated game about inventory management in which you occasionally fight monsters. I will explain. My wife has been steeping in pre-release hype and events for the forthcoming WoW expansion, … Continue reading →

New Year, New MMO

Posted on March 10, 2016 by baudattitude

As much as I enjoyed FFXIV last year, it did go a little overboard on the notion that everything worth doing was restricted to instanced zones – most notably, that the game’s story frequently hit stopping points where you were … Continue reading →

A FFXIV post-mortem

Posted on December 11, 2015 by baudattitude

It’s been a good couple of weeks since I’ve felt compelled to dash home after work and jump right on to FFXIV, so I think I’ve managed to scratch the itch thoroughly for now. Hands-down, it was one of the … Continue reading →

How Pink Am I?

Posted on August 31, 2015 by baudattitude
