Time to Loot – Finding fun in loot and adventure

Last Thursday, I went over just how close we were to taking this guy down. Of course- I also went and said we would almost certainly get Sire Denathrius down on Sunday (our next raid night). *sigh* We didn’t, of course. I don’t know why...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 6: Moonlight Butterfly + Havel

by Naithin | May 9, 2021 | Dark Souls | 5

Last week, for the first time since starting this experiment, I missed a Dark Souls: Remastered post. I considered doing it as well, but with the XCOM 2 Succession Game kicking off (twice!) I decided that would be enough for one weekend. Especially...

Heroic Sire Denathrius — The Fight Continues

by Naithin | May 6, 2021 | WoW | 0

But we’re close. So incredibly close. I realise we’re behind the curve a lot on this one — but with raiding two nights a week, and weeks after weeks of real life incidents taking out various key players (largely tanks!) our...

XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game – Mission 1: Operation Gatecrasher (Again)

by Naithin | May 4, 2021 | XCOM | 0

Don’t adjust your set- it isn’t broken. And it isn’t just deja vu, either. If you thought you’d seen this one already, that’s because… well, you have. The problem there, was that even though I had launched into...

XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game – Mission 1: Operation Gatecrasher

by Naithin | May 2, 2021 | XCOM | 0

Eeeee! Exciting. Here we are- with the game underway, first mission played, turn order established, and the Succession Game page revamped to include this round and archive the details of the previous Civilisation VI Succession Game. Note: This...

Time to Loot Journal: April 2021

by Naithin | May 1, 2021 | Journal | 7

You know, April felt like a pretty good month. No singular overriding reason- just a general sense of contentment, capped off with the discovery the other day that there are some pretty talented piano players out there. No really- it’s true....

Fooled by Shadowlands

by Naithin | Apr 28, 2021 | WoW | 9

Although it would be fair to say, I was almost certainly a willing participant in the deception. I’ve been here for WoW expansions before. Every single one of them, in fact. So I know how the concepts show up in reality. I know the scope to...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 5: Bell Gargoyles + Darkroot Garden

by Naithin | Apr 25, 2021 | Dark Souls | 2

The Bell Gargoyles featured in last week’s adventures too. Except where we ended the last part was with an extremely successful, incredibly brave- er, retreat. I collected my souls and booked it with a homeward bone. Sayonara suckers! After...

Your XCOM 2 Succession Game Invite

by Naithin | Apr 22, 2021 | XCOM | 18

Yep. Yours. Over there in the corner. With the hat- and the face. Or maybe without the hat. *squints* It’s hard to see in this light. But with the Civilisation VI Succession Game now wrapped up, there’s room in my life for another...

Long Live the Queen — Wrap Up

by Naithin | Apr 20, 2021 | Civilisation | 0

The game is done. Queen Victoria reigns victorious, putting all comers to shame in nearly all respects. She secured a place as the world leader in Science, Military Might, and of course Culture- the means by which we technically won the game. We...

Exo One Demo

by Naithin | Apr 19, 2021 | Other Games | 0

Look, this one is a little embarrassing truth be told. Exo One has been on my wishlist since it got a store page on Steam, almost. Like, right up there too. It has occupied a top 10 spot since I added it. I have really wanted this thing and still...

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 4: Undead Parish Continued

by Naithin | Apr 18, 2021 | Dark Souls | 0

When I stop to think of the size of this undertaking, I can’t help but wonder what on earth I was thinking. Playing to any sort of schedule seems so far out of my wheelhouse as to move past the laughable and land somewhere on the border of...

Outriders Expeditions – Challenge Tier 10

by Naithin | Apr 16, 2021 | Outriders | 2

So, you know how in my early impressions post, I was saying how the difficulty wasn’t quite where we were promised it would be? Found it! There are a few jumps in Challenge Tier that you can really feel, and CT10 seems to be one of those....

Dark Souls: Remastered – Part 3

by Naithin | Apr 11, 2021 | Dark Souls | 2

BRRRT! BRRRT! Activate panic-stations! For in this part, we head into parts unknown. Space where no Naithin has gone before. Everything up until now I’ve done in the past, with the possible exception of the Taurus demon. And while I’m...
