It’s been a while since I posted, because my ongoing eyes issue took a turn for the worse and is causing me frequent and severe eye strains. I’ve been making the rounds with the doctors and have a couple of specialist appointments coming up, but in the meantime gaming is taking a backseat (since staring … More Sims 4 Sitcom – Six’s a Crowd
It’s unavoidable — everyone is talking about Diablo IV right now. After much hype in the past months, the fourth installment (evidently, no one is counting the rather… controversial Diablo Immortal last year) of Blizzard’s popular Diablo series went live yesterday, June 5 2023 on multiple platforms – PC, XBox and PS4/5.
A couple of days ago, Amazon Games announced that it is developing a new MMORPG based on Lord of the Rings. Here is the official announcement.
You will have to take my word for it (for now), but Heidy is a bit of an artist. Granted, I haven’t been very productive in the last few years so I don’t have anything new to show, but I used to be pretty prolific back in the day. Some day I will show off … More Art Styles in MMORPGs
Over the Christmas holidays, I wanted to take a break from the relentless winter event grinds on Star Trek Online and Guild Wars 2, and ended up installing Tower of Fantasy.

I want to start this post off with a caveat: I don’t usually post about games I haven’t played, especially games I don’t intend to play. But the Diablo franchise is dear-and-near to me, as I have very fond memories of co-opting with some friends playing Diablo 2 in my much younger days — if … More Diablo Immoral
Funny that after all these years playing MMORPGs and writing about them — especially Star Trek Online — I never paid much attention to how many people play them. Granted, actual player numbers seem to be a treasured trade secret that no dev/studio is ever willing to share, so we can only rely on certain … More MMO Player Count
Ok, so after my moment of RAGE last night over Lost Ark, I feel it’s important to give the game a proper objective review after over two months of continuous grinding, and explain where my RAGE came from.
A quick follow-up to my previous post about Lost Ark… F#$% this game. F!@# its RNG gear honing system. F*&$ the Pay-to-Win scheme. F#%& the grind. F$#* the server queue. F^&% the bots and the F@!%ing botters. I’m done with this s#!+pile of a game. F^+%you Lost Ark. That is all.
The frustrating and growing problems on Lost Ark caused by rampant Botting continue unabated… and it just got a whole lot worse. Take a look at the title image: This is my screencap at around 5 pm PST on Saturday, April 23. This is after one hour’s wait, and I’m still queued at 2443. When … More The Lost Ark Bots: Take 2
