Because I’m Batman!
Right, well, disappointingly in my opinion — this line was not once uttered throughout the opening episode of Telltale’s 2016 ‘Batman – The Telltale Series’. I’m holding out hope that this oversight will be...

Finishing the Facility Hub
Sure, I finished it about 20 levels later than intended. But I did! The last level gate on the last quest location from the hub was level 45 after all. I’m now 66 (although...
Quality of Life Improvements
I had to make a really hard call last night. A call that went against my nature. Against all instinct. All understanding of what is ‘right’. But I did it anyway. And uh… So...
Hitting Goals and Making New Ones

Ding!
Well alright, maybe more than just one ding. I very almost didn’t get a post out at all tonight on account of wanting to extract every moment possible of play until better sense took...
Thrill of the Hunt
In EverQuest you camp. WoW has you questing. But in Asheron’s Call you go hunting. Hunting takes many, many shapes and forms and can serve a range of purposes. My favourite approach being to...
