I just want to be Thor, is that so much to ask? One of my latest gaming projects was getting all the classes to 70 in Diablo 3 on PS4. With a level 25 Gem of Ease it went very quickly (we're talking 30 levels in 5 minutes), and I'm happy to report I'm now … Continue reading I Just Want to Chain Lightning Forever in Diablo 3
My Divinity Party
My party: A heavy-hitting, 2-handed weapon wielding warrior. A dual wand-wielding witch with a touch of geomancy. A ranged master of many debilitating arrows. A wizard hurling spells of wind and water. More on this later.
My Most Anticipated Games of 2016
It seems silly and more than a little delusional to look forward to games coming out this year when I have a backlog of at least 15 I'm still planning to play through. Oh well! Regardless, I'm really looking forward to some of the games (hopefully) coming out this year. There's more, but these are … Continue reading My Most Anticipated Games of 2016
Gaming Blips
My gameplay has been pretty scattered over the past few weeks, but here's a rundown of what I've been focusing on: Just Cause 3 My lizard brain likes to see things explode. It's a good thing, because that's pretty much all Just Cause has going for it. Well, explosions and the immeasurable joy of gliding over (sometimes … Continue reading Gaming Blips
Ranking Media Consumption by Satisfaction
It's the start of the new year and nothing feels different. I know the changing of the calendar means little on its own, and I think this grows truer the older you get. I find myself dissatisfied with how I spend my time. Too much consuming, not enough creating. I think about my brain and … Continue reading Ranking Media Consumption by Satisfaction
[Bloodborne] Skulking Through Yarnham
I approach every unexplored corner in Bloodborne's ruined, eldritch universe with an embarrassing level of caution. It feels unnatural to approach a game world like this, after the power fantasies of action games, MMOs, and shooters have taught me that in most cases I'm a lesser deity, if not a god. "Save your caution for the boss … Continue reading [Bloodborne] Skulking Through Yarnham
Blips
What have I had my hands on lately? Destiny. Still going. I managed to find an excellent static group for raiding, so I'm online at least once a week for that. I don't feel much pull to upgrade gear or anything, so I'm not grinding through daily bounties much anymore. Just having fun with friends … Continue reading Blips
Destiny: Crushing Crota
Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, dropped last Tuesday, and first impressions reveal a thoroughly mixed bag. A patch dropped just before the expansion gave players a much easier way to gain materials and upgrade gear, which many of us took advantage of, before revealing that those items would be pretty useless. Exotics can be … Continue reading Destiny: Crushing Crota
Bloodcurdling Blogs – A Light in the Dark
Well this would have been great to start the first of the month, but better late than never! October means Halloween, means spooky stories. I love reading creepy, ambiguous horror, the type of fiction that makes you feel like something's skulking just on the periphery of your mind's eye. But I've never really tried writing … Continue reading Bloodcurdling Blogs – A Light in the Dark
After 30 Hours in Destiny
A list of things I have accomplished... Reached level 25. I was stuck at 23 with a full set of blues, but I reached Vanguard rank 2 and spent some marks on purple gloves, then got lucky and received a chest piece from a purple engram dropped in the Crucible. If I get purples to replace … Continue reading After 30 Hours in Destiny
