Bring Out Your Dead

7:55 PM Death Knight , World of Warcraft

Mini milestone #2 this week in WoW, and that of course is my first level 80. The last ten levels seemed to go way quicker than the previous ten. I'm sure that had a bit to do with my enjoy...

Ding! 70

11:49 PM Death Knight , World of Warcraft

My first mini milestone in WoW had me dinging 70 on my DK. Slowly but surely i'm making my way up to cap without feeling any reason to rush. The only comment i can make is hurray for getti...

Fear the Reaper

Thanks to the holiday, i had a lot of time to get some leveling done in WoW. It didn't take me long to obliterate my previous high level of 8. It must have taken some serious dedication to...

World of...What?

6:11 PM World of Warcraft

No Luck

I've been running the Nexus Core advanced solo for about a week now. It seems to be the zone that drops weapons, among other items of course. What I've been trying to acquire is a sword or...

What is Wildstar?

11:17 AM Wildstar

With winter beta around the corner, i figured i'd start talking about Wildstar a little more. By that i mean talking about it at all of course. I planned on being pretty quiet about it unt...

Expansion Day

7:19 AM Everquest 2 , Tears of Veeshan

Tuesday marked the release of EQ2's 10th expansion - Tears of Veeshan. With it came a ridiculous amount of changes to stats along with more stat explosion. The list of new stuff is too lon...

Cape Town

8:27 PM Capes , Cloaks , Everquest 2

Yes yes yes technically they're called cloaks but, let's be honest, these are capes. LOTRO has the actual cloaks covered while EQ2 has the hoodless cloaks, or capes. Either way, i love bot...

Throne of Fear

Continuing on with my advanced solo rounds brings me to Throne of Fear. Imps, eyeballs, and my mercenary being his typical useful self. By that of course i mean being completely useless as...

Sleeper's Tomb

3:12 PM Everquest 2 , Sleeper's Tomb

Another day and another advanced solo under my belt. This time i ventured into the Sleeper's Tomb instance and i now can see why most people don't farm this one for loot. Being my first at...

95

1:12 AM Everquest 2

Thanks to an extremely fun and sometimes crazy Skyshrine group, i managed to hit 95 on my Shadowknight. This makes my first ever max level character of any kind in EQ2. Despite my actual account...

Gameplay Hours

1:41 AM Aion , Final Fantasy XI , Raptr

Some days i can't help but stare at my little Raptr widget on the front page of this blog and shake my head. It plain disgusts me sometimes, and not because of the ridiculous hours i put into MM...

Kneel Before Me

6:02 AM Anashti Sul , Everquest 2

Skyshrine

8:53 PM Everquest 2 , Skyshrine
