WoW: Day Four and a good day in EQ2.

Posted on September 18, 2016 by baudattitude

Actually ended the day at level 52.  Dungeon XP seemed to kind of slow down in the low 40s but kicked up again with a vengeance once I started getting dropped into Stratholme dungeons – there’s a ton of stuff … Continue reading →

What it’s like playing #EQ2 in 2016

Posted on August 26, 2016 by baudattitude

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve gotten hooked on Everquest 2 again.  This is my third or fourth time playing, I think, starting when Sony gave me a free copy back in 2006 as an apology for … Continue reading →

In Which I Confront a Hoarding Problem

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 →

Sakura Dungeon: Collect Shiny Things, Save The World

Posted on July 19, 2016 by baudattitude

I don’t think it’s much of a secret that Sekai Project finances their “serious” localization projects with a constant stream of comparatively low-budget borderline-lewd visual novels, and as much as I would like to claim that I am above such … Continue reading →

I guess I should play this; I bought the sequel already.

Posted on June 29, 2016 by baudattitude

Well, the Steam Summer Sale has been a little disappointing this year, owing to no daily deals and no flash sales and no metagame or anything like that.  Also I feel like I already own, like, 90% of everything on … Continue reading →

Lifeless Planet

Posted on June 26, 2016 by baudattitude

OK, so I don’t gush a lot and usually it’s because whatever game I’m playing has top-tier waifus to fit every taste, but OMG Lifeless Planet. The shtick is, you’re an astronaut who volunteered for a one-way trip to a … Continue reading →

Ninja Blade, seriously? That’s the name?

Posted on June 16, 2016 by baudattitude

Ninja Blade is one of those games that must have been very cheap at some point, or perhaps part of a bundle, because the name is so ridiculously generic that I can’t think of any other reason it would have … Continue reading →

Gone Home, or, “I take my eyes off you guys for a few months and everything goes straight to heck: The Game”

Posted on June 14, 2016 by baudattitude

Gone Home isn’t my usual sort of game.  There are no bikini ninjas and absolutely nothing explodes. It’s one of those games, like Dear Esther, that gets rather uncharitably lumped into the category of “Walking Simulator”, and similarly it has … Continue reading →

Did I Actually Just Finish Dark Souls III?

Posted on May 27, 2016 by baudattitude

Yes.  Yes, I did. It took me over 50 hours to grind my way through, which is apparently WAY over the curve, but I’m fine with that.  I was very uncertain about what I was getting myself into back on … Continue reading →

On The Perils Of Over-Specialization

Posted on May 25, 2016 by baudattitude

So, several more Dark Souls 3 bosses down and I am chugging along towards the fourth Extra Bad Big Bad Guy because the Dark Souls series seems fixated on the Rule of Four. Presumably there will be something else after … Continue reading →
