Taking the Civ out Civ 5
So being without an MMO to waste time on, I have the next best thing: civ 5. However, I've noticed something that either was added post-launch in a patch or wasn't full implimented when I started playing back in September: Denouncing. This thing annoys the shit out of me. Essentially if you competing with an AI faction for a city-state, that ( Read more... ) -
Revenge of the buyfag
So... I've gone a long while without buying any anime DVDs. And why should I between netflix, streams, and (more recently) torrents/usenet? Last thing I bought was the Zeta Gundam boxset -- the big one with all the stuff in it and that was like... 5 or 6 years ago. It started innocently. Big discounts on Amazon on Eva 2.22 and FLCL. I figured why ( Read more... ) -
Getting over the MMO mindset
Been awhile since I posted here... Ironically, the last post I did was about WoW..... which I quit (again) about 2 weeks ago. I don't think I'm going back -- the game is too old and I don't really have the time to dedicate to raiding -- but now that I have "free time" on my hands, I don't quite know what to do with it. I've even started watching ( Read more... ) -
The new oldworld
So my new mage is now 43. Suffice to say after about a week of leveling off and on post-shattering, the experience has been pretty enjoyable and in hindsight a long, long time coming. The new quest lines are a huge improvement. My favorites so far being the quests with Zin'kiki the noob drood and the entire Fiona questline in the plaguelands. The ( Read more... ) -
A certain magical Index
Or shortened to just Index. I've been watching this series lately as it's one of /a/'s darlings and... it's actually half-way decent. The story is nothing original (like there's such a thing in anime), but the characters are likable.
Worth watching. -
PSA: if you order chinese and you're not 100% what it is....
Google it before you order. Ordered Chow Mein thinking for some reason it'd be something like Lo Mein and was immediately disappointed.
I think I'll stick to the stuff that's drowned in soy sauce. -
The internet > Square Enix
Yes, yes, another FB game post but one that I think people will find as amusing as me. >:D ( Read more... ) -
The social game "golden age" is officially over
We can argue about whether or not there was a golden age for in the first place. Most people either love or hate the damn things considering the amount of spam generated by farmville, mafia wars, and their hojillian clones. For those people I have good news -- those days are going to eventually come to end soon (or later). Being the success that ( Read more... ) -
Same shit, different textures
So Blizzcon is raging on and I'm kinda raging too (no D3 date makes me sad face).... and Cata comes out in December. But as someone that has played (arguably) the biggest game there is, allow me to explain why I don't care about Cataclysm: The game hasn't radically changed in six years since it launched. The game has changed a lot in subtle ways as ( Read more... ) -
A moment of retrospection
So. A couple days ago I got a friend suggestion from Amanda for a Martin Sachs on Facebook. Since then, I've been sitting on my hands whether or not I should follow-through on the suggestion and friend who I'm almost sure is probably M. Why hold out on sending a friend request? Mostly because I think I was a retarded terrible developer who should ( Read more... )
