Fun!… Games I want to play again this year 4 Jan 201911 Jan 2019 I know that if there is one thing I don't have, it's time. Free time, that is, that I can devote to things like gaming. On the other hand, when…
Elder Scrolls Online… Personal Top 11 of 2018 30 Dec 201830 Dec 2018 The last time I've done such a list was in 2016. I started this blog post with the title as "top X", because I have no idea how many games…

Blogging Months… My new and improved Mini-Me in Elder Scrolls Online 23 Nov 20182 Dec 2018 Just a few days ago, I showed you my characters in Elder Scrolls Online (among my other mains in other MMOs). I hadn't played the game lately, because LotRO snuck…
Blogging Months… My Mini-Mes (November 2018) 16 Nov 20182 Dec 2018 I saw Tyler from Superior Realities's posts about his stable of characters (impressive!) and decided I'd do the same or something similar. After searching through my own blog, I found…
Blogging Months… New Lion’s Arch 11 Nov 20182 Dec 2018 Can you believe that after all the screenshot galleries I've made for Lion's Arch in its various stages, I have never made one of the rebuild town? You can see…

Elder Scrolls Online… Looking for a new MMO-home 27 Oct 201827 Oct 2018 We still have not heard anything from gamigo and their plans with the games they acquired from Trion. Of course, all of this doesn't necessarily mean that Rift will be…

First Impression Review… First Impressions: Parkasaurus (Early Access!) 25 Sep 2018 Parkasaurus is a tycoon game where you get to build a dinosaur park. The game comes with cute comic graphics, but it has the depth that one would expect from…
Screenshots… Goodbye, Wildstar 8 Sep 20188 Sep 2018 It did not come as a surprise when I saw that Wildstar is shutting down - and the developer studio, Carbine, as well. Even though at the beginning of the…
