The Mog Log Extra: Unboxing the Final Fantasy XIV collector's editions
Filed under: Fantasy, Video, Culture, Launches, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log
I barely ever buy the collector's edition of any game. That's not to say I don't like the idea, but it's hard to justify the increased cost for the same game, especially when the included bonuses aren't all that good in the first place (I don't know who decided that collector boxes should come with statues that add $ 100 onto the box price, but I don't like that person).
The original Final Fantasy

Gauss & SafireeMostly Epic Saturdays Hey everyone! Hope your week was awesome. In game, for me it's been a solid grind into reputation for things I need in game. Honestly it wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have 10 million distractions. I'm not one of those people who can be set on one thing for 8 hours on end.. but I am almost there. Lately I have been recruiting a lot for the guild also, and have come to meet some really great new people. Gauss and I have been doing a lot of

Batten down the hatches and prepare yourselves for a storm, my friends, because I have a rant that's just waiting to burst forth! I know, I know -- it's hard to believe I am that riled up over anything in Aion. After all, I've managed a grand total of only four rants in more than three years. But I am! I am downright annoyed. Ironically, this rant also comes right when I was going to give you all

So... does anyone else think it's a little strange the Turbine's more or less gone dark about Lord of the Rings Online: Helm's Deep? The last we heard anything about the next expansion was back in April, after which we've had a chasm of silence. In the past couple of years, the studio was already into high promotion mode regarding its expansions come summertime, which leads me to believe

More and More
Here we are Friday morning sitting and wondering what today's reader post would be about. I must say there were quite a few choices this week which were rather deserving and as I stated to some of them I may include them in a future week because I feel they were that good. I did though come to the decision to let Hilly speak his mind. Frankly it is a topic which I have felt about writing about, but always but it to something I would write about because it is not seeming to be going away. Regardl
WIP: Borderlands 2, The Tribez, The Bureau
In the ongoing series of What I'm Playing, these are the games I am currently busy with. This week I finished the first playthrough of Borderlands 2, using the assassin character Zer0. Having done most of the side-missions that got me to level 32, which is pretty much where I wanted to be to play the DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. So now I'm looking forward to this parody of Dungeons & Dragons re-imagined by Tiny Tina as Bunkers & Badasses. But I also made a new character, a gu
Storyboard: That was a poor decision
Filed under: Culture, Opinion, Roleplaying, Storyboard, Miscellaneous
Having a new kitten in the house is sort of like watching a slideshow of poor choices. My kitten knows, for example, that the older cat of the house doesn't want to wrestle all the time because she's made this clear in the past. And he knows that right now she's not happy to see him, as evidenced by the fact that she moved somewhere else when he entered the room.
Despite all of that information, he still runs right up to her
