What’s your prettiest game?
I received this email as an advertisement, but when I read this subject line, my mind immediately went through my game’s library. Now, what exactly makes a game “pretty”? When you search for “prettiest games”, you get a lot of lists about “visually stunning” and “hardware-demanding” games. That’s not my take on what a “pretty…

Screenshot Saturday: New mini-me in ESO
Just after reaching level 40 with my Templar, I decided to give the nightblade a try. So far, she’s tiny and the class choice isn’t noticeable. I don’t have many skills yet and am mostly just swishing my dagger and sword into the air hoping to scratch the enemy enough for them to give up…

Screenshot Saturday: Level 40 in ESO
I know that max level in ESO is 50, not 40. But it still feels like a big milestone to me. Especially since it took me months to get from level 30 to 40. I really need to play this game more often. It’s so much fun and the world is very pretty. I also…

Screenshot Saturday: Tired gaming…
I’ve never been one to sleep in and get up late, but with my new job, I have to get up at 6 am which is about 30 minutes too early for my body and brain. This means I end up very very tired in the evenings. I try to get in some levelling in…

Screenshot Saturday: Dervish in Arkovian Undercity
After months of being much better, my hand decided to get a lot worse again today. I had really wanted to spend the evening gaming, though. Mouse and keyboard doesn’t work at all when my hand is like that. But the gamepad works! So, there’s either Civilization VI or Grim Dawn as these two games…

Screenshot Saturday: Christmas in Tropico
I admit, I think it’s very weird to see Tropico mixed with Christmas decorations. Then again, this is probably due to me always being in Germany over Christmas. While we usually don’t have any snow, it’s far from a tropical climate here. But I still like that they’re doing it. Pumpkins for Halloween, snowmen for…

2019 in screenshots
I’ve previously done this in 2015 and wanted to do it again this year, because it seems like a fun thing to recapture the gaming year this way. It may be a bit early as the year isn’t over yet, but I don’t know how much time I’m going to have later this month, so…

Screenshot Saturday: Dracorex
I’ve started my new job this past week, so there wasn’t much time for gaming. In the evenings, I wasn’t in the mood for anything that needed much of my attention or any fast reflexes. So I’ve been playing Jurassic World Evolution again. Of course, once the carnivores escape, the game does require some fast…

Just a few screenshots, no spoilers of the story! (IntPiPoMo count: 48 in total)

IntPiPoMo 2019
I realized it’s November and once again, I won’t have the time to commit to NaNoWriMo. I’d really hoped I could do so this year, but illnesses came in between me and my carefully laid out timetable… okay, there was no timetable. But illnesses did come in. My dissertation is in its final stage, though,…

Fresh air in Guild Wars 2
While I’m spending most of my time playing WoW Classic at the moment, I did not miss that Guild Wars 2 got a content update for the living story recently. Before I got into the game to check out the new episode, I headed to Reddit to see whether others were positive or negative about…

Screenshot Saturday: Guild Wars 2 through the ages
With recent news of layoffs at ArenaNet, I wanted to focus on Guild Wars 2 with today’s Screenshot Saturday. I have taken thousands of screenshots through the years, but decided to just choose two for each year. Not necessarily the best or the most interesting ones, but some that stuck out for some reason when…

New Lion’s Arch
Can you believe that after all the screenshot galleries I’ve made for Lion’s Arch in its various stages, I have never made one of the rebuild town? You can see the original Lion’s Arch in this post (from April 2012). About two years later, in February 2014, I made a second gallery because I felt…

LotRO and their legendary servers
Thursday evening, Standing Stone Games opened the first of their legendary servers, Anor. The waiting queue reached 4000, apparently. But despite SSG saying it was just a display issue and queues were working correctly, they weren’t (and still weren’t yesterday). Bookahnerk, who was the last (!) to queue from the four of us (we’re playing…

Lake Doric in Kryta
I admit, it does feel a bit like cheating when I’m filling my picture-count for IntPiPoMo with a blog post like this. But when I thought about what kind of blog posts I could do with pictures (other than the regular ones as I always include at least one picture with each blog post), this…
