bhagpuss 2021-04-11 23:30 Keep It Bottled Up A small item buried deep within Wilhelm's March In Reviewpost reminded me of one of SOE's many, long-forgotten bright ideas. At least, I... bhagpuss 2021-04-11 04:31 Open The Door, Dora Anyone remember Dragon Nest? Maybe Dragon Nest Oracle? Dragon Nest Europe? Dragon Nest R? Dragon Nest M? I've tried them all. There are... bhagpuss 2021-04-09 21:41 Buggin' Out This morning I spent a happy hour or so writing a bug report for EverQuest 2. Okay, that's a little misleading. I probably spent about... bhagpuss 2021-04-08 23:14 High Plains Drifter A couple of weeks back, when I reached the conclusion of the tale of my battle with the great drake Moder, I wrapped the whole thing up... bhagpuss 2021-04-07 20:39 Hello Moto It's back. The April Fool's joke that didn't know when to stop. Yes, it's Super Adventure Box, now upgraded to Festival status. Some...
bhagpuss 2021-04-07 03:19 She Really Shake You Donkey Up Before Valheim appeared out of nowhere back in February, I'd been spending a fair amount of time in Black Desert Online. I'd updated all my details in preparation for the switch from Kakao to Pearl Abyss and I'd been...
bhagpuss 2021-04-05 21:52 Choose To Choose - The Velvet Underground & Nico In A Funhouse Mirror Easter Sunday, on a whim I went poking around YouTube to see if anyone I liked had posted anything new. When I say "new" I mean "in the last couple of years" because that's about how long it takes...
bhagpuss 2021-04-04 22:28 Settling Down I think I'm about done with Valheim. Well, at least until the next major update, which I hope and trust will be Heart and Home, the one with the focus on building and basemaking. I don't mean I'm going to stop...
bhagpuss 2021-04-03 19:08 Eggs Over Easy Yesterday, I logged in to EverQuest II to set up my ten daily Overseer missions. There's not really anything left in the Season Two rewards that I want but I need to earn more experience to ding 21 before I can start on...
bhagpuss 2021-04-02 14:45 March Songs Spring is here! No, really, it is! We went for a walk this morning and I didn't even need to wear a coat! The birds were going crazy, the trees were turning green, I only had to scrape mud off my boots the one time. ...
bhagpuss 2021-04-01 22:12 Just For One Day While I'm a big fan of holidays in mmorpgs, April Fool's isn't one of my favorites. As a smallish child I enjoyed slipping a plastic fried egg onto my grandfather's plate as much as the next over-indulged brat and...

bhagpuss 2021-03-30 03:35 Under The Mountain I didn't want to skip a day's posting but I really don't have much to offer. I spent almost all Sunday playing Guild Wars 2, sorting my banks and answering call-outs in world vs world. It was a whole lot of fun but...
bhagpuss 2021-03-28 23:51 Center Of The Social Scene There was a post at Massively:OP last week that I confess I didn't read in full. It was something about whether it would be a good idea to replace mmorpg social hubs with a menu system. It was so obviously clickbait I...
bhagpuss 2021-03-27 20:35 Sure To End In Tears Let's begin at the beginning, just this once. Or what passes for the beginning, at least. It had been the longest journey. Moder's altar lay somewhere in the high mountains ahead. It must. There was nowhere else...
bhagpuss 2021-03-26 21:55 How We Got Here Yesterday, twelve days after I killed the third of Valheim's current roster of five bosses, Bonemass, I finished Moder, the fourth. Nearly two weeks and almost all of it in one way or another given over to the search,...
bhagpuss 2021-03-25 19:44 Lost Cat Remember the big cats? They're back. In fact, if you believe the patch notes, they're multiplying: New cats, visible while under the effect of the Chatoyant Elixir or similar effects, have been added to each major...
bhagpuss 2021-03-24 05:12 Can't Complain Gamers can be a superstitious bunch. In the glory days of EverQuest inumerable charms and rituals were passed on from guild officer to new recruit when a rare spawn was proving to be rarer than expected. Or, in the...

bhagpuss 2021-03-21 23:28 I Just Got A Magic Wand EverQuest II has so many features and functions. It's all too easy to miss a few. Even the good ones. There's one I've done nothing with until quite recently: the option to morph your combat pets into any number of...
bhagpuss 2021-03-21 01:10 Pick It Up And Pack It In For weeks now I've been nothing but positive about Valheim. It's probably past time I mentioned something I don't like. The inventory. I count myself something of an afficionado, if not an expert, on lugging stuff...
bhagpuss 2021-03-20 00:39 Somehow The VItal Connection Is Made Even before I get started, let me have a good old grumble. I like Blogger as a platform. It suits me. I'm used to it. I could do with a little more flexibility in layout but I can live with what I'm given. There's just...
bhagpuss 2021-03-19 04:41 Just Some Thoughts Some random thoughts about Valheim. The Smell of Sulfur In The Morning. Or afternoon. Or evening. Any time of day, really.I'd read that as you downed each boss the attacks on your base would change to represent the...
bhagpuss 2021-03-17 19:17 When You Hear The Call I've kind of fallen of the EverQuest II wagon these last few thanks to Valheim shouldering everything else to one side. It's niggling away at the back of my mind because I had a very loose plan of action for the winter...
bhagpuss 2021-03-16 22:44 Different Voices This morning I played through the first two parts of Guild Wars 2's latest addition to the Icebrood Saga. Let's not get into the naming conventions of that again. I wanted to see the story segment with Braham. I was...
