(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) I’ll say, it’s been kind of refreshing to experience the game without a walkthrough.  It’s a little … Continue reading →

As I move into the Savage Coast with my lowbie character in The Secret World, I’ve decided that while I like having a healing weapon, assault rifle is a little too similar to my shotgun character — and I don’t … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) Morte’s been kidnapped.  I am not pleased.  While the little guy wasn’t the best fighter in the … Continue reading →

No time to do a long post today, but I did want to make a few quick mentions: Tyler Edwards from the blog Superior Realities has written and self-published a new steampunk fantasy book called Rage of the Old Gods.  … Continue reading →

Well here’s something I wasn’t expecting: I downloaded RIFT and rolled a new character this past weekend.  By my blog records, I exited the game back in late February and hadn’t felt the pull to return.  It wasn’t a bad … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) So where was I?  Oh yeah, about to kill a blue-collar repairman because a pregnant wall told me to.  Yes, my life is normal. Instead of just attacking the dabus, I told … … Continue reading →

Panda doing a spit-take at RIFT going free-to-play.  Okay, it’s pandaering, but I thought it was pretty funny.

From the three MMOs I’m currently playing:

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) Before we go any further, I return to Fell, the tattoo expert, so that he can identify … Continue reading →

My new Dragon* in The Secret World is absolutely ripping up Kingsmouth.  Everything goes way faster the second time around, especially when you’re not stumbling around in a mixture of horror and awe and what-the-heck-do-I-do frustration.  I’ve got just one … Continue reading →

For the very longest time, having an MMO make it to a console was a rare novelty, but nothing that turned the industry on its head.  EverQuest Online Adventures failed to live up to its big bro’s example, Phantasy Star … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) So there’s this weird feeling that I get in single-player RPGs (and only rarely in MMOs) that … Continue reading →

Dodge and Syp finally buckle down and tackle World of Warcraft.  As battle-scarred veterans of Azeroth, they have war stories to tell, oh yes.  Boar livers, Night Elf hunters, and 40-man raids are burned into their memories — and cause … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) Before I venture back into the Warrens of Thought, I had to check out all of the … Continue reading →

This week on Battle Bards, the world’s only MMO music podcast is all up in Tyria’s face.  That’s right: We’re going into Guild Wars 2, and we’re not returning until we wring the best possible tracks from this already-stellar score!  … Continue reading →

After a whirlwind week in the Carpathian Fangs, I finished up both the zone and the main storyline last night in The Secret World.  It came so quick and unexpectedly that I rocked back in my chair when I realized … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) I think it goes without saying that death is a huge motif in the game so far.  … Continue reading →

MMOGC and I were talking the other day about what scared us in The Secret World.  It’s not the most terrifying game I’ve ever played, but it certainly has had its moments.  She’s doing a post today on the five … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) Upon entering the Warrens, I’m greeted by a hostile group of collectors.  There’s a chance that I … Continue reading →

Even though it happens this time every year, I can’t believe we’re transitioning into the summer months.  I just finished planning the next three months of my work schedule and have started to give some thought about what I want … Continue reading →

It’s time once again to get a pulse on what you all have been playing recently!  Participate in the official Bio Break poll by checking any and all MMOs and MOBAs you played in May.

I love that feeling when you’ve just been trudging along in a game, making very slow progress, and one day everything clicks and you’re just flying.  Usually that involves crossing a threshold (level, skill, zone) and finally achieving some goals … Continue reading →

…the hard-working ladies and lads of Mutant Reviewers have been covering all manner of cult films: Desperate Remedies Last Action Hero Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome The Road Warrior Mystic Pizza The Kentucky Fried Movie Iron Man 3

This just might be.  Special thanks to Tesh for pointing me toward the Retro Game Music Bundle.  For as low as $10, you can pick up 21 (they just added three more today) complete video game soundtracks.  Some are smaller … Continue reading →

(This is a continuing series detailing my playthrough of Planescape Torment.  You can check out the whole run on the Nostalgia Lane page.) Time isn’t usually kind to video games, even ones you used to hold up as classics.  We … Continue reading →
