  • My Love/Hate Relationship with Borderlands 2

    Having played and thoroughly enjoyed Borderlands 2 when it first came out, I bought the Season Pass, but let the game languish as I played a few other games, had health issues that totally ruined my gaming ability for a while, and kept up with my Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) and Star Trek…

  • Saints Row IV Powers Video using NVIDIA ShadowPlay

    Yesterday I mentioned some of the awesomely fun powers the player has in Saints Row IV. Well today, I have a video showing it. This also gives me a chance to try out NVIDIA’s excellent new ShadowPlay feature. In the video below, my character (I don’t normally play female characters, but SR4 allows you to…

  • Finished Saints Row IV and Liked It

    I finished Saints Row IV and the DLC Enter the Dominatrix on my PC and liked it a lot. Enter the Dominatrix ended up being fairly amusing and had some cute flashbacks to Saints Row 3. Overall, the game had lots of humor, tremendous swearing, and fun. Since the majority of the game happens in…

  • Enjoyed BioShock Infinite, but ending was too familiar

    I finished playing the fun BioShock Infinite last week and am finally getting a change to post about it. First of all, the game is fun, which isn’t a surprise, since almost every other reviewer said the same thing. The skyhook travel system is great fun, but don’t mistake this game for an open world.…

  • The slow, sad death of a LOTRO kinship

    My LOTRO kinship, Thirst for Power, has had a long, interesting lifespan with serious ups and downs, and is now down for the count. I am the only regular player that has been on for weeks. Sure there are one or two others that leave alts in the kinship, but no playtime logged except for…

  • LOTRO: Snowbourne Mounted Daily

    Today’s mounted daily mission video (and this is the last for a while, so you can relax and stop being bored by me) is the one given at Snowbourne, a large city in the south west of the playable area of Eastern Rohan. This is my favorite of the mounted missions because we need to…

  • LOTRO: Eaworth Mounted Daily

    Like the daily mounted mission from Harwick, this mission involves taking on mounted enemies while being on your war-steed. In this case, however, some of the enemies have about 5 times the morale (hit points) as the normal ones here and in Harwick. In this playthrough, I avoided those guys, but I’ve had to fight…

  • LOTRO Tour 11: Thorenhad to Rivendell

    In our continuing quest to travel to the ends of Middle Earth (at least without area transitions), we now leave the moron sons of Elrond and head to Rivendell to meet up with Lord Elrond in his library. We don’t take a hidden passage that Peter Jackson decided was appropriate for The Hobbit movie, but…

  • LOTRO: Harwick Mounted Daily

    Rather than bore you with more of the Middle Earth tour, I’ll post an example of a daily mission given out in Harwick. This mission is one of those given as part of the overall goal of rebuilding the destroyed town of Hytbold. Each mission earns 5 tokens that can be used to rebuild some…

  • LOTRO Tour 10: Ost Guruth to Thorenhad

    Continuing the tour of the vast Middle Earth as presented in LOTRO, we ride from Ost Guruth in the Lone Lands to Thorenhad in the Trollshaws. We stop by Bilbo’s stone trolls and then end with the sons of Elrond. Unlike games like Skyrim and Star Trek Online, where most of the terrain is accessible,…
