My luckiest Destiny Crucible match ever
After I got all my Guardians to Iron Banner rank 5, I continued playing so I could keep getting that phat lewt Destiny was handing out (sometimes). Since I was just messing around, I didn’t have the pressure to win, which may have helped with my luckiest match. I was stealing kills (not on purpose)…

The Division looks great, but they really dropped the ball here
I like Tom Clancy’s The Division(TM) (and, yes, that’s the last time in this post that I’ll use the whole name), and I think it looks really good. The city is modeled and textured very well, and the guns and gear are lovingly rendered (especially the purple beanie and the stylish slouchie, whatever that means).…

I like The Division’s Matchmaking
I’ve had good luck with matchmaking in The Division and think it is very good. I can’t quite put my finger on why I think it is superior to Destiny’s matchmaking, but I think it just works better. In Destiny, I’ve always hated playing with randoms for Strikes, but the PUGs I’ve played with in…

Filling in the AssCreed gaps with Revelations
I finished Witcher 3 and enjoyed it a lot. I look forward to the release of the 2nd DLC so I can go back and enjoy even more Witcher. I’ve also been playing a fair bit of The Division, though my main character is only level 19. But I wanted to play another plot-based game,…

Nearly done with Witcher 3, and I’m okay with that
I’ve been playing a lot of Witcher 3 lately. A whole lot. Like to the exclusion of nearly everything other than eating, sleeping, and working. Sure, I’ve poked my nose into The Division’s business, but only a few hours. I’m finally closing in on the end of the plot, and I’m okay with that. I…

Had a much better time in The Division last night, but the checkpoint system needs work
I gave The Division another shot last night and had a much better time. I didn’t experience any annoying glitches, and a friend helped me through that pesky Security Wing mission. That’s a pretty hard mission to solo – they’ve really ramped up the difficulty since the beta, and I’m perfectly okay with that. Despite…

Unsure about buying The Division after playing the beta
I played the beta of Tom Clancy’s The Division on PS4 over the weekend (not sure why they need to keep flogging poor old deceased Tom Clancy to promote the game, but I understand Red Storm Entertainment was involved). I liked it quite a bit. It was atmospheric and tense, and I felt like I…

Getting towards endgame in Fallout 4 and I’m not exactly pleased
This post contains spoilers for Fallout 4, though because I haven’t finished the game, it doesn’t contain endgame spoilers. If you don’t want spoilers, go back to Twitter and read about Blade and Soul and its boob physics. I have been really enjoying Fallout 4, but I think I’m getting near the end. I’ve spent…

Enjoying the Heck out of Fallout 4
Since I last wrote, I played a lot of Destiny. I would even say too much Destiny, with the terrific Sparrow Racing League (getting all 3 characters a Class S license, but never getting any 320 gear), followed by Iron Banner where I got all 3 characters to rank 5. And that’s pretty much the…

Started the Destiny King’s Fall Raid on Hard Mode
Last night, thanks to a great bunch of Guardians, I managed to take my roughly 300 light level Titan in the hard mode raid in Destiny. While I was clearly the weakest player, we managed to do quite well up to the Deathsinger sisters. So this is not an article about the raid per se,…
