  • Almost Ready to Explore

    One of the coolest features of Elite Dangerous is the scope of the map. A 1:1 scale of the Milky Way leaves a mind boggling amount of places to go. Every star I can see when I leave a station can be traveled to. That’s crazy. A My first long term goal has been to…

  • Hitting the Wall

    The wall is something g every Hunter runs I to eventually. It’s that one monster who grinds you into the ground over and over, the monster where you see the dreaded “quest failed” screen more times than you can count, that one monster you just can’t quite finish off. In Monster Hunter Tri and MH3U…

  • Community Mining Madness

    Since the begging of the year there hasn’t been a day when I didn’t log into Elite Dangerous.On paper the game doesn’t seem all that compelling. Most of it is spent waiting. Waiting to jump to a new system, waiting to get close enough to a station to dock, waiting for collector drones to collect…

  • Back in the Hunting Groove

    I’ve been a Monster Hunter fan since impulse buying Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. Since then my friend Jay and I have played every iteration of the game since on the 3DS. The 3DS as it turns out, is not my preferred way to play the series. Even with the XL version the screen…

  • Hopping on the Comic Book Bandwagon

    I didn’t get a lot of gaming in this last week on account of I had family in town. So there’s not much to write about on that front. We did go see Spider-Man: Homecoming which was I think was the first Marvel Movie I’ve watched since Age of Ultron in 2015. I like the…

  • EQ2: A Frog in the City

    This week I left the Frostfang Sea and set sail for Qeynos. I had run out of quests I could reasonably do and the rest were 5 or 6 levels above me plus I was tired of looking at orcs. The leaper mount was quite handy in avoiding a bunch of level 19 mobs and…

Well the server will be wiped for the last time,a persistent world will follow and a brand new baby virtual world will be born. Now player’s…

  • Backlogged- Batman: Arkham Asylum

    Something truly unusual happened with Batman: Arkham Asylum. I beat the entire story only a few weeks after I bought it. It’s one of the few single player that I’ve been compelled to beat. I ended up spending 11 hours on the main story with a little light collecting. I gave up on solving all…

  • EQ2: Ice, Snow, and Orcs

    It’s been quite a week in EQ2 for me. I thought after a week my curiosity would wear off and I’d return to my regular gaming habits. But truth be told I haven’t touched Guild Wars 2 since I started on Fallen Gate. I started the week at level 5 and have slowly fought my…

  • The Steam Summer Sale Ends

      Another steam summer sale is in the books and more games have been added to my library. I did what I did last year and put everything I wanted from my wishlist into my cart right when the sale started. Over the next few days I got rid of stuff I didn’t want right…

    June In Review This month I came back to the blog after a few months hiatus. It’s good to be back! I didn’t have any goals for myself in June. I was testing a few games out seeing what I wanted to stick with for a while. I’ve mostly been playing around with a mix…

  • Arkham Asylum: I’m Batman!

    Lately, I’ve been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum when I’m in the mood for a single player game. I’ve somehow managed to avoid spoilers and the game in general for a long time. I found it on sale earlier this month and for whatever reason I was in the mood to do bat things. And there…
