  • The Controls Matter

    Assassin’s Creed Origins ended up in my Steam library at some point. It’s hard to say when I picked it up exactly. It may have been last years Steam Summer Sale or maybe one a one off weekly sale. But it was definitely sometime last year that I bought it with full intentions of playing…

  • Backlogged: The Pedestrian

    Time to Finish: 4 hours I picked up The Pedestrian from the Steam sale this year. It’s been sitting on my wishlist for a while and I had an itch to play a puzzle game. What caught my eye with The Pedestrian was that the puzzles appear to take place on street signs. As it…

  • Max Level in New Genesis

    Over the weekend, I hit level 20 on my Techer main class. This is currently where the max level stands in New Genesis. Getting there didn’t take all that long, just over 3 weeks of pretty casual play. There were some days where I spent hours killing mobs and doing quests but the majority of…

  • Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis First Impressions

    I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my time in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis this week. Sure, it has it’s issues, lag being the main one, but I’ve played Trove long enough that lag doesn’t bother me as much as it used to. I’ve been eagerly awaiting it’s release since I played the beta and I’ve…

  • Blogger Succession Game: Operation Blood Fist

    Operation Blood Fist Objectives: Avoid destroying critical supplies, Neutralize all enemy targets The first decision I had to make was who to take with me on this mission. Everyone pre-selected for the mission was already a corporal or seargent so I thought I might take one of our rookies with me. But I vaugely remembered…

  • Back to Planet Calypso

    I arrived back on Planet Calypso much the same way that I left it the first time. Being ferried by some one else. Except this time it was Greg and not some one my friend paid to pick me up. Planet Calypso is the largest planet in Entropia Universe. As far as I can tell,…

  • Beta Vibes

    I spent some time this weekend in the Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis “Closed” Beta. Closed to those, it seems, who were willing to not only install the Xbox Insider App but risk downloading PSO2: NG from the Windows Store again. It was just around this time last year that I was looking forward…

  • Backlogged: World to the West

    Time To Finish: 14.25 hours I haven’t done one of these in almost a year. Has it really been a year since I beat a single player game? There might have been one last year that I beat and didn’t write about. But yeah, it’s been about a year since I completed a game. World…

  • GTFO: Saying Goodbye to Rundown 4

    I haven’t written about GTFO since *checks notes* November. That was around the time that Rundown 4 came out and we rejoiced with the addition of difficulty tiers for each mission. I even went as far as to say we might make it to the bottom this time. That did not happen. We did make…

  • Next Island and Ancient Greece

    This is the second post attempting to sum up everything I’ve done in Entropia since March. Next Island was our next stop on the tour of Entropia Universe. There awaited beaches, roving hordes of monkeys, and the end of my mentoring. This is where most of April was spent. Next Island was a colony set…

  • Leaving Arkadia for the Moon

    Since it’s been a bit since my last Entropia post I’m going to try and summarize the events of the last month in two posts. This is the first. The whole reason we started on Arkadia was to fill up the Mentoring experience as quickly as possible. The rewards are too good to pass up:…

  • Eight Thousand Caraboks

    This is a Carabok. For the last two weeks, when I’m not out and about with Greg, you can find me in the carabok fields outside of Celeste Quarry. There, the caraboks spawn in the hundreds, as far as the draw distance can display. The caraboks are small, defeneless creatures, with 10hp. But they’re also…
