A friendly competition
I found this post in my drafts. It was originally written back in 2014 and should have been the teaser post for a roleplaying event in our Guild Wars 2 guild. However, some (minor) guild drama arose and the event consequently never happened. I almost forgot I ever wrote it, but when going through my…

Finally settling into ESO
For months, I’ve been saying how much I love ESO and that I just need to get into the game… and then I did only log on to do crafting dailies. However, two things have changed recently. I joined a German guild with a trader, but they’re mostly a casual social guild that also tries…

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,…

NBI 2016: Blogging can be life-changing
Yes, I admit, the headline is probably a bit too dramatic. ;) So before you get too excited: Blogging will not make you rich and it is very unlikely that you will become famous. However, looking back at the past five years with this blog, a few things happened that did influence our lives in…

Impressions from Foostival Germany 2016
As some of you may know, I am part of the organizing team of the German Foostival. It took place yesterday, on May 7. In the previous two years, we had a location in Hamburg which is in Northern Germany. As amazing as that city is (seriously, there is no better city in Germany than…

Keeping my blogroll up-to-date – Blaugust Day 23
I know I often neglect my blogroll, but it became quite clear when Blaugust started and I saw the amount of familiar names… only to realize that while I do know them and more or less regularly read their blogs (whenever my time allows, at least), I never added them to our blogroll. This is…

Guild Wars 2 Community Event – Blaugust Day 9
As you may already know, on Thursday, we went to gamescom and then went to the Wildstar Community Event in the evening. I already told you about the Wildstar event. My write-up of our visit to gamescom is taking a bit more time to get finished, though. So I figured I could show you the pictures…

Trove Pirate Class Giveaway by Kiwi and EnemyEX
This is what I love about online games: The community around them. In this case, Kiwi and EnemyEX are having a “launch party” for tomorrow’s “Fish’n’Ships” update in Trove. Read the post by Kiwi in the Rift forums where she posted an explanation on what is given away and how it’ll work. The short of…

Foostival 2015 in Germany
Some of you may remember that I was not able to attend last year’s Foostival. I still helped out a bit with the organization, but not nearly as much as I would have liked to do. This year, bookahnerk and I did not only go there, I also helped organize a lot more. But before…

The Foostival will take place on March 22 with France and Germany having it in a physical location and Romania hosting it in Guild Wars 2. The event is fully organized by fansites.
