Speaking of Unicorns…

Posted on June 19, 2011 by baudattitude

My excursion into casual gaming is in no way an indication of any sort of unicorn fixation.  It’s a curious coincidence and nothing more. I do not have a unicorn problem. Let’s proceed, shall we? Popcap’s “Peggle” franchise was, before … Continue reading →

Brush brush brush brush

Posted on June 15, 2011 by baudattitude

  So I noticed something very odd when I booted my Windows box yesterday, specifically something very odd on my Steam friends list. I had two friends on and actively in-game, and both of them were playing something called Secret … Continue reading →

Thinking with Portals

Posted on June 9, 2011 by baudattitude

It is terribly tempting to continue talking about games that have few redeeming qualities other than cute girls with glasses, but I do occasionally break out of my rut and play something that, well, you could have out on the … Continue reading →

Country Roads, take me Homefront.

Posted on June 6, 2011 by baudattitude

A couple of months ago, I bought THQ’s Red-Dawn-inspired shooter, Homefront, played it for a little over two hours, put it down in disgust and immediately got sucked into Rift. Last night, I decided that I would pick it back … Continue reading →

Breaking my own rules

Posted on June 5, 2011 by baudattitude

I have a pretty hard and fast rule when it comes to MMORPGs; I don’t do trade skills. Trade skills – or professions, or crafts, or whatever the synonym is for a particular MMO – are often touted as an … Continue reading →

Ding!

Posted on May 11, 2011 by baudattitude

So I hit 50 in Rift yesterday, with a hair over 120 hours /played.  That’s kind of slow by Rift standards, I guess. I started on April 14th, so that’s a little over 4 hours a day?  It’s a little … Continue reading →

Adventures in PC Cooling

Posted on May 2, 2011 by baudattitude

OK, I will admit up front that there is very little adventurous about making your PC cooler.  PC components get hot, they need to be cooler or they die, and even though there is a massive industry built around this, … Continue reading →

Apparently, I’m a jerk

Posted on April 26, 2011 by baudattitude

I don’t PvP. The thing that attracted me to the original Everquest – that attracted a lot of people, actually – was that it was, in comparison to it’s predecessors, a mostly PvE game, where your enemy was the environment … Continue reading →

There’s a (Home)front Coming…

Posted on April 21, 2011 by baudattitude

It’s probably not fair to write a review of Homefront after only playing through three levels of it. There are, after all, seven levels and I’ve played plenty of games that didn’t really take off until fairly late in the … Continue reading →

I beat EQ2

Posted on April 19, 2011 by baudattitude

Technically, I didn’t beat EQ2.  It’s a MMORPG, after all, a genre that is by definition unbeatable.  I mean, pretty much every one of them has a Super Ultimate Boss Fight that can count as “beating” the game, but since … Continue reading →
