26 Jan 2020

Now that WoW Classic has been out for a couple of months, the vanilla nostalgia has left and the harsh reality is back. WoW Classic, for me, is much better…

Screenshot Saturday: New mini-me in ESO

25 Jan 2020

Just after reaching level 40 with my Templar, I decided to give the nightblade a try. So far, she's tiny and the class choice isn't noticeable. I don't have many…

The worst game genre?

23 Jan 2020

I know there is no way to realistically and objectively call any genre the worst, of course. But I guess every gamer has this one genre that they cannot stand…

18 Jan 2020

I know that max level in ESO is 50, not 40. But it still feels like a big milestone to me. Especially since it took me months to get from…

Screenshot Saturday: Tired gaming…

11 Jan 2020

I've never been one to sleep in and get up late, but with my new job, I have to get up at 6 am which is about 30 minutes too…

2020 and upcoming MMOs…?

6 Jan 2020

I clearly remember the time before LotRO launched and how I was eyeing it curiously (and testing it during a beta event) and how I could understand the excitement other…

4 Jan 2020

After months of being much better, my hand decided to get a lot worse again today. I had really wanted to spend the evening gaming, though. Mouse and keyboard doesn't…

My Top Games of the Decade

31 Dec 2019

Writing about my Top Games of 2019 was a bit too short-sighted, apparently. I have seen others talk about their games of the decade - most recently Rakuno's post. And…

My Top Games 2019

29 Dec 2019

This is the last of my three lists of my favourite games in 2019. The first was about my favourite MMOs. The second was about my favourite games that I…

My Top MMOs in 2019

I originally started this blog because of my love for MMOs. Back then, I'd been impatiently waiting for Guild Wars 2 to come out and spent my time playing Rift…

Screenshot Saturday: Christmas in Tropico

21 Dec 2019

I admit, I think it's very weird to see Tropico mixed with Christmas decorations. Then again, this is probably due to me always being in Germany over Christmas. While we…

2019 in screenshots

15 Dec 2019

I've previously done this in 2015 and wanted to do it again this year, because it seems like a fun thing to recapture the gaming year this way. It may…

Lotro’s Yule Festival

13 Dec 201913 Dec 2019

I think this is the first of the games I'm playing that do seasonal events to start the winter/Christmas event. There is one thing I always like about LotRO: It…

7 Dec 2019

I've started my new job this past week, so there wasn't much time for gaming. In the evenings, I wasn't in the mood for anything that needed much of my…

30 Nov 201930 Nov 2019

I didn't think ArenaNet would run sales for Guild Wars on Black Friday, but they did. So I bought a new character slot to play a new dervish on my…

Planet Zoo: Reenacting the Lion King

27 Nov 2019

...Spoiler: In my version, the hyenas won. I am growing increasingly dissatisfied with Planet Zoo. I still think it's a great game overall, but the amount of bugs or weird…

Just a few screenshots, no spoilers of the story! (IntPiPoMo count: 48 in total)

MMOs that came and left since WoW launched

22 Nov 201922 Nov 2019

PC Gamer wrote about 25 MMOs that "lived and died" since the launch of WoW (originally published in May, advertised again recently). I assumed I'd see several in there that…

Update to my November gaming goals

17 Nov 2019

No, I did not finish all my previous gaming goals. But my mood changes frequently and I cannot ever force myself to play something when I'm not in the mood…

First Impressions: Planet Zoo

10 Nov 2019

First of all, please excuse me if I'm not using the correct English terms for the features of the game. I switched to the German client which I usually don't…

How much for your gaming entertainment?

In a recent comment, Naithin mentioned that Krikket recently also talked about getting your money's worth out of playing games. I headed over to her blog. She is mostly concerned…

LotRO: Lucky me!

6 Nov 20197 Nov 2019

Apparently, the Harvest Festival in LotRO got extended by a week. Otherwise, the festival would have already been over... but this morning, I suddenly got the urge to check out…

Gaming goals for November

3 Nov 2019

I usually don't like to make something like this as it seems weird to add "goals" to something that should be there for relaxation. However, I tend to spend money…

IntPiPoMo 2019

3 Nov 20193 Nov 2019

I realized it's November and once again, I won't have the time to commit to NaNoWriMo. I'd really hoped I could do so this year, but illnesses came in between…

Five games for a year

2 Nov 20192 Nov 2019

Naithin shared this writing prompt on the Blaugust Discord channel recently which, I admit, I only saw because I read Rakuno's answer. It's a fun one to think about, so…

Gaming nostalgia: What about Guild Wars?

31 Oct 2019

I think it was Rift with their Prime server that started the nostalgia trip into the beginnings of several MMOs. Rift Prime launched in March 2018 and community-wise it was…

Being excited about SPIEL Essen

24 Oct 2019

When writing this blog post, I tried to remember the correct term for "Gesellschaftsspiel" in English, but as Wikipedia tells me, there apparently is no equivalent other than "board game"…
