As I was very critical of SWTOR not very long ago it’s only fair that I bring some balance to the force (see what I did there?) by updating you on how the recently released patch 1.2 has addressed many of my original gripes!

A big chunk of my earlier rant was centered around [...]
How cool is that huh? I love how some are quite subtle and others are plainly obvious, but all of them are cool!
Sixteen, I got sixteen of them right off the bat. Two looked familiar and were quickly confirmed and the last two I’m still unsure about.
How many can [...]
Star Wars: The Old Republic is a fantastic game. It is full of wonderful things and will continue to be a very successful MMO for years to come.
But… there is always a but isn’t there?
I will be taking an extended break from it and if my subscription lapses it won’t be renewed for a little [...]
I’m sorry guys but this writeup is going to have nothing to do with the normal subject matter of this blog. Those of you who come here for the gaming content only can happily skip this one. This is going to be a personal and most likely emotional/melodramatic bit of text, you’ve been warned. Or, [...]
The endgame grind has well and truly started now as Ant (my healer buddy) and I have been running our daily quests on Belsavis and Ilum like the well mannered gear grinders we are. The quests grand epic level mods and of course daily tokens that can be exchanged for more awesome mods and items. We’ve dabbled [...]
It’s funny how I was afraid to hit a wall at 50 in SWTOR as I’ve hit it in certain other games that released with no endgame (*cough* WAR *cough*) but in fact I have hit the wall at the opposite side of the argument. If anything SWTOR throws too much at you at 50 [...]
The big Five Oh, I reached it today on my Bounty Hunter! WOOHOO!
There’s always a moment of “ok, now what?” in MMOs when you hit the max level but Bioware have made sure that it’s unlikely for that to happen. While XP is no longer a motivation to keep following the quest line, the reward of [...]
I’m afraid I’m done playing my Bounty Hunter in SWTOR now… I never ever want to level up or swap out any gear as it would ruin the perfection that is my current hitpoint total.
It’s one whole 3 better than 1337!
The guildchat’s reaction reminded me why I love being in this guild:
[...]
Overwhelmed, is the best term for what happened. But in a good way! You guys overwhelmed me with requests and praise and I love you all dearly for it.
After the success of Part I and Part II today it’s time for the third and final part of the Loading Screen Saga to round it [...]
Holy smokes guys, thanks for the great response via Facebook, Twitter and via some of the forums I posted this on. I’ll be making Loading Screens for a little while longer it seems as the requests are coming in faster than I can respond to them at the moment haha.
But before I dive back [...]
As those of you who keep track of me on Facebook are well aware I am currently playing Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). I’m still working on my review and it’ll be up later this week.
But first, I want to share a little fun fact with you. SWTOR has a loading screen that [...]
The following blogpost wasn’t written by me but by one of my favorite Starcraft 2 progamers: Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson. He posted this on his TL blog earlier today and when I read it I immediately knew I wanted to repost it. If you’re interested in eSports at all prepare yourself a cuppa and prepare for [...]
If you have a bit of time to kill and are interested in Starcraft, eSports or geek culture in general you need to do yourself a favor and watch this two part documentary that aired earlier this year on Korean TV.
It’s about SlayersBoxer, the living legend of Starcraft Broodwar who, after he retired from [...]
Just noticed that my Guild Wars 2 Interview video is up on OnRPG.
In a shock development the Youtube comments are almost positive!
Looking forward to doing more of these in the near future, keep inviting me to your press events publishers!
I had a great time in Hamburg and really enjoyed the opportunity [...]
I was SO excited about this game when I first heard about it…
Civilization World on Facebook… what could go wrong right?
Have a look at this Alpha Preview and let me know what you think:
The first thing that annoys me is the colors and the cartoony graphics. Why Sid? Only because [...]
I guarantee it, this video is going to make you go “wow, really?”
Either this is one of the coolest things ever… or it will be a playground for a small number of power gaming guilds who will dominate it.
I mean politics suck in real life, why would we want the same [...]
I can’t believe I’m actually considering this!
Fact: My birthday is coming up
And since I am basically just an old kid I need a fun gift yo! My pc is kind of up for replacement but honestly asking for a 1500 buck birthday gift is a bit over the top right?
Fact: I could [...]
When Ditte and I still lived in Dublin we were introduced to the awesome game of Dungeons and Dragons.
Game master Gavin introduced us to his friend Kevin and together with some other friends we played Dungeons and Dragons. It became a regular game for a couple of months and through the wonders of the [...]
I’m gonna be afk for the next couple of days guys, so no updates here until Thursday the 16th of June.
It’s been quite a while since Ditte and I spend some time together at her family and I’m one of the lucky few who really like their family in law. And I think they [...]
I wasn’t sure about OnLive at first… but they are starting to show that they are here to stay!
This E3 video shows Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood running just fine on an iPad… well it’s not running ON the iPad obviously but it does get displayed on it.
I’m not sure in what situation I’d [...]
