I recently finished Hollow Knight, after having tried to play the game three times and getting distracted each time. The world of Hallownest is a big one which offers a non-linear journey which is great for exploration and adventure and terrible for my attention span apparently. Don’t get me wrong, I loved every minute of…
Rambling about WoW: Dragonflight
Dragonflight is the next World of Warcraft expansion after Shadowlands, and is scheduled to be released later this year. Maybe it’s due to my lack of interest at the end of Shadowlands or burnout, but this time the expansion announcement seems underwhelming to me. This expansion will bring a new hero class, Evoker, a new…
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Announcement Cinematic!
While it’s true that I haven’t been playing WoW much lately, ever since the conclusion to the current expansion, Shadowlands, I was really excited about this video when it was released back in April. A big part of why I wanted to finally post an article about it is Stony Danza, Stony Tony, Stone Boi……
Stray: A Short but Sweet Adventure
The adorable game where you play as an orange tabby inexplicably wearing a backpack was announced in 2020, and wouldn’t be released for another two years. I was immediately drawn to the world in which Stray takes place, with it’s abandoned cities and fascinating sentient robots. It felt cyberpunk, but also post-apocalyptic. Beyond that, I…
Ode to Yakuza, a “Serious Crime Drama”
I started my journey with Yakuza over a year ago, on May 8th of 2021, to be exact. I can’t remember how I was turned onto Yakuza, whether it be by a friend’s recommendation, internet memes, or some combination of both. All I know is that it has become one of the best series I…
Castle Nathria… A Great Haunt
Nathria was the first raid introduced in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, and also my favorite. With its design heavily taking inspiration from Dracula, and the general gothic theme of vampires, it was a delight to make progress on this raid. The raid encounters were equally delightful – where one boss fight takes place in the…
Re-thinking Site Structure
I haven’t posted here in quite a while, in fact, I haven’t made a new post for nearly the entire Shadowlands expansion cycle! Taking a quick look through my post history for Battle for Azeroth will make it obvious that I haven’t been the most inspired by this latest expansion. That got me to thinking….
BlizzConline 2021
This time around, BlizzCon was a bit different. It was shorter and pre-recorded, and no in-person cosplay contests. It was still good, and we did get information on patch 9.1, but Cons are social events and, even though I’ve never been lucky enough to go to BlizzCon, I could tell a certain excitement was lacking….
Shadowlands Season 1 Begins
We are now just about three weeks into Shadowlands and so far it’s been a busy – and slightly obsessive – couple of weeks, with gearing up for raid and keeping up with all the new things to do. The most exciting new thing that released with season 1 is the first raid Castle Nathria,…
A New Chapter Begins
I meant to write this post a few days ago but, well, I was too busy playing the game. I’ve been having a blast playing Shadowlands so far and while it isn’t the perfect expansion and I have some gripes, I already love many things about it. The Launch The launch was relatively smooth in…
