I left off last time in EverQuest Legends at the dock in Freeport.  The old Freeport.  The original city restored.  And I reveled in that a bit, but eventually it was time to head across the Sea of…

The Site Welcome to the start of year twenty-one I guess.  That is the… I guess downside… I am not sure, really… of anniversaries, that they just blow by and we’re on to the…

“I think the industry will require disruption,” said Asha Sharma, who has overseen layoffs and divested studios since inheriting Microsoft’s flailing video game division.

Being colorful in the middle of a brawl. (Also, who are all those dreads without SKINs?)

I feel like getting old involves an ongoing sense that everything is going by faster than expected.  I feel like I just wrote a post about hitting 300 million skill points and here I am at three hu…

The ping came through on Saturday afternoon, just past 15:30 my time.  I saw it a few minutes after it had been sent out and I almost just let it pass.  I was feeling a bit off, I had just gotten u…

Maelstroms bridging in and taking the gate to the next system.

Week thirty-nine had another set of four titles queued up to launch.  The question was, would they shake up the roster the way the four titles from week thirty-eight did? We will certainly get to a…

Before I get into how we wrapped up terraforming on Skeo I do have a few observations on this bit of free content. To start with, it was free.  Not only that, but it landed just as we were wrapping…

Being sent off to defend the homeland once again

As we worked through winter and towards the end of year two in our save we finally made a successful run at the skull cavern. There were other things to do during the winter, including tending the …

Moving off of a hostile Keepstar after the owners refused to come out and play

Takes have been coming hot and heavy about the WoW Forever beta since the moment it went live, and I am sure nobody has been asking, “Sure, but what does Wilhelm think?”  But you’…

It is usually a good plan to wait a day or three when Hello Games drops a big update and then launches a brand new expedition for players.  I am not saying you have to wait until the Switch finally…

Another cap to save… and there I am in the middle in my lime green livery

Back into the thick of things, with this past week thirty-eight, which had four titles queued up for launch, promising some changes on the scoreboard. With changes almost guaranteed, we’ll ma…

We’re now about a week past BlizzCon and much digital ink has been spilled detailing out every last item mentioned about WoW Forever at the event.  But questions still remain. The big one see…

It is Friday and there is some random stuff I want to cover just to have it on record.  Not that having it on record here is of any importance to anybody besides me… but my blog, my rules.  A…

The giant space croissant is sending us off to death or glory… or a structure shoot if Frat fails to show up

A CDC report shows that people are not feeling relaxed and restful in the United States.

It is Thursday and I am still catching up on what happened last week.  That includes checking out Valheim, which left early access on September 9th.  The Deep North, the final biome, is now availab…

The press obsession with software-powered doomsday is a misdirection overshadowing a much deadlier reality: our public interest regulators no longer function.

Hello everyone, Today, we're so excited to be launching our special anniversary expedition: Our Journey Continues . This expedition celebrates ten years since the launch of No Man's Sky, and it felt celebratory to make! Everything from the developer commentary, to the nostalgia-themed rewards, to the mechanics all felt like a celebration of No Man’s Sky...

We left off last time with Aqualis being well on its way to being terraformed.  Potshot and I, having arrived with just some food and water built up a base and a terraforming infrastructure to make…

Time to get out of the bubbles and go elsewhere

While I was away last week Hello Games popped up and finally launched the long expected 10 year anniversary update for No Man’s Sky.  Welcome to Cosmos! This was heralded by Sean Murray posti…

BlizzCon 2026 is now in the books.  All that was said has been recorded.  Now it is time to get in some reactions around what went on.  There will be months of analysis, but the post-game gut react…

Svipuls in propulsion mode headed towards hostiles on the other side of the gate

Alex Gibney’s movie has an unfortunate twist.

Vacation is over and the whole 20 year thing is now in the rear view mirror. Time to get back to it.  The words won’t just vomit themselves onto the page. As I mentioned in yesterday’s …

Today is the day I hit the mark. WordPress.com has confirmed. I have been blogging here for 20 years. It is time once again to recap.  This post guaranteed to contain at least 17.7% new content by …
