I hate them all. They take away so much time and quite often they cost money that you need to work for, hence losing even more fun. Games are bad. Really. It's not COVID-19 that's keeping us at home… it's video games. The number of new streamers and new people playing games has increased in... Continue Reading →
I hate timers
I like the Zelda games but I never really got into Majora's Mask… I mean, I guess I should like it - after all, it's literally a darker version of Ocarina of Time and it has some great elements to it both presentation-wise and gameplay-wise. But I guess the main reason for why I didn't... Continue Reading →
I hate race/gender-locked classes
Today we talked about a lot of stuff on the Blaugust/Blapril discord. Among the discussed topics was World of Warcraft and how Tessa didn't like it (while I, for instance, haven't crossed path with WoW, yet, at all). Easha then confirmed Tessa's discontent by mentioning how they don't like the "Time, subscription model, graphics, faction... Continue Reading →
I hated scripted fights
Scripts generally have a neutral and a negative connotation to them. In video game terms, "scripting" means "hacking", which is bad in a lot of ways and hence doesn't really have to be discussed (today?). The other definition is "script" in a sense of "screenplays" or the instructions that one is given in a play.... Continue Reading →
I hate invisible walls
Games allow us to escape reality. I mean, you don't have to use it as an escape mechanism but it's possible. You can visit places you've never been to before. You can do anything you ever wanted to do. You can be whatever you wanted to be. Some games allow you to explore a ton... Continue Reading →
I hate metaslaving
Whenever games get competitive, something called a "meta" develops over time and hence certain "successful" developments or patterns in the way people play a game appear more often, resulting in a (usually) everchanging meta. In League of Legends, I usually play in the Support role. My champion pool is quite varied with a lot of... Continue Reading →
I hate contact damage
There have been a few hedgehogs, freezing in winter. They were sitting in a cave around a campfire but it wasn't warming them enough, just yet, so they ended up getting cuddly and hurting each other, hence pushing each other back. Now, while that makes a lot of sense in this kind of fable… because... Continue Reading →
Valorant – My First Impressions
Valorant is the new thing and I've got a beta-key, woohoo.In this post, we'll talk about the latest release by our favourite Indie Game Studio, Riot Games! Only a few days ago, Riot released their take on the tactical shooter genre, Valorant, for PC in a Closed Beta. To get keys for that Beta, you... Continue Reading →
Monster Hunter World Cross-Overs?
In today's MonHunLog, I mentioned that it would be cool to see other features in Monster Hunter World from other franchises… so in this one, I'm discussing what I could imagine and what I'd find cool. If you've got any ideas of your own, be sure to let me know about them! I'd love to... Continue Reading →
Adore – 0.3.0 Pact with Draknar update
Just recently I've reviewed Adore but soon after I finished it, it got updated and with the major update 0.3.0 "Pact with Draknar" a lot of stuff was added to the game that, essentially, changes a lot of stuff. Hence there is some information in my review that is kind of wrong and alas, here's... Continue Reading →
Destiny 2 – Getting back into the grind!
Destiny 2 has been one of those games that I play every now and then but never could truly get into. I mean, in December (when I first started playing it) I ended up spending around 90 hours in Destiny 2, while I've only accumulated 37 more hours in the past four months. But just... Continue Reading →
Mages for Charity
Mages for Charity is a campaign I started a while ago to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Essentially, it was my birthday on March 23rd and I thought that I didn't want anything at that point and hence wanted to give something back. I organised a "Special-Stream" with some Just Chatting, some Co-Op... Continue Reading →
Oh no, another 24 hour stream?
Today’s Stray Sheep is about the 24-hour stream I did a while ago. The catch-up post is long due, and I didn’t know when to post it or if I truly had finished it but uh,... better late than never, right? So, on March 6th around 9 pm Central European time and ended on March... Continue Reading →
Super Mario Multiverse 2020 – Mario Kart Tour
Well, hello there, fellow mages and non-mages! I wish you all a happy 10th of March! This day is a day to be remembered. It's Mar10, after all, or - if you still don't get it - MAR I O Day! And hence I decided to write about Mario Kart Tour, my initial hype, my... Continue Reading →
Raid: Shadow Legends and why I don’t like (a lot of) Gacha mobile games
Yup, I actually tried it out!
What is fun? – a rather mathematical outlook
Games are meant to provide fun and/or entertainment. I think that's a statement that a lot of people would agree on. But what is fun? How would one calculate the amount of fun that one has in a game? What's needed for a game to be successful or for a game to be considered "great"... Continue Reading →
Omensight – Revisited and finished!
During my 24-hour stream, I played a lot of games. I played Destiny 2, Stardew Valley, League of Legends, Overwatch, Monster Hunter World, Dungreed, and a lot of other titles and among them... was Omensight. A title I've reviewed on my blog before. I wanted to play it on stream to showcase to some of the... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2012, Nami
League of Legends turned 10! And although the event has already ended and although you cannot receive any more rewards, I'll continue my series of posts, showcasing my favourite supports from each year. Seven years ago on December 4th 2012, Nami, The Tidecaller, was introduced into the Summoner's Rift. She's a vastayan Enchanter from the... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2011, Leona
2011 was the year where one of the first aggressive supports were introduced. Leona, The Radiant Dawn, is Vanguard from Mount Targon that provides her team with both CC and a frontline that is able to increase her allies' damage on targets hit by her abilities. So let's just get into it with his showcase!... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2010, Sona
Nine years ago, Sona, The Maven Of The Strings, got introduced to League of Legends, which is why I'm showcasing her in today's (well, technically yesterday's) post! Thanks to my studies taking up a lot of time, I wasn't able to finish yesterday's post in time, which is why we're taking a look at Sona... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2009, Janna
League of Legends turned ten years old, this year, which is one of many reasons to celebrate! Hence, I thought I'd make a few posts (though a bit late) about my favourite champions in my favourite role, kind of like a introduction to those champions or a guide without the strategies and all of that... Continue Reading →
Late to the Party – Asheron’s Call
So, the other day Naithin from time to loot posted about Asheron's Call, a relatively old MMORPG that looked quite interesting and I ended up signing up for it on a private server (it seems) with a nice community. Welcome to Late to the Party #2! This time, it's about a game that came out... Continue Reading →
Late to the Party – The Witcher 1
Welcome! I'm late to the party, but endure me as I talk about the Witcher! :)
