WoW Patch 6.1: Dude, Where’s My Content?

View ArticleTSW: It Hasn’t Been a Good Week
As regular readers know, I love The Secret World. It’s my favourite game at the moment, and in my opinion, one of the best games of all time. It may have its flaws, but it’s probably about as close to...

I desperately want to make a Monty Python joke here, but it’s already been done so many times that I would just feel like a hack. Firstly, let me say that Inquisition is probably the single biggest and...

View ArticleCheating on WoW: Star Trek Online Revisited
I have a turbulent relationship with the Star Trek franchise. It’s a long story, but suffice it to say I used to be a big fan, but no longer consider myself such. However, I still have enough love for...
View ArticleWoW: I Accidentally a Draenor
Regular readers will know by now that I am not at all enamored with Warlords of Draenor, but also that Blizzard owns my soul, and therefore it is inevitable that I will play it at some point. This past...
View ArticleMass Effect: A Journey in Pictures
I recently finished another complete play-through of the entire Mass Effect trilogy, and I wanted to do a post on it. But giving my thoughts on the trilogy as a whole seemed rather redundant, since...
View ArticleCheating on WoW: Champions Online
I’m not the biggest comic book/superhero fan in the world, but I do think it’s a great setting for games. It’s the ultimate power fantasy — who wouldn’t want super powers? Given that, it surprises me...
View ArticleCheating on WoW: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
Final Fantasy XIV has gotten something most MMOs never get: a second chance. When it launched, it was one of the great trainwrecks of MMO history, universally viewed as virtually unplayable. But the...

I’ve come home for a week of rest before I resume my apartment search in Toronto. This will allow me to begin posting on my blog again, and I’m hoping to build up a stash of enough pre-written posts...

View ArticleHeroes of the Storm: The Best Is Yet to Come
This is a post I’ve meant to do since Heroes of the Storm launched back in June, but between how hectic life has been and my surplus of topics to blog on, I just haven’t had the chance. It is often the...

As you undoubtedly already know, Star Wars: The Old Republic is putting out a new expansion soon, Knights of the Fallen Empire. Normally this wouldn’t be huge news to those who aren’t die-hard fans of...
View ArticleReview: The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III
I’m a big fan of the band Chvrches. Their second album is coming out in September, and from what I’ve seen so far, it sounds like it’ll be very much like the first album. Normally I like it when bands...
