Long term petting, in at the deep end.
So, over this past week I’ve managed to complete a couple of long-term goals. First up, the legendary ring! Huzzah! Finally managed to get through the chain and get the final reward, Maalus the Blood Drinker. So once I’m back from hols and raiding again, that should give a nice boost to my DPS. Frequently…
Windows 10 gave me ideas…
Ok, so having had Windows 10 installed over the past 24 hours, I’ve pretty much fallen in love with it. Even though it’s sometimes buggy and the Start Menu had managed to crash on me completely yesterday necessitating a fix (see my twitter feed), it’s a really lovely OS. The mix of the Start menus…
Twitter Game Giveaways: Full Details & Restrictions #sarsfreegamegifts
Ok, so I’ve got quite a stash of games to give away that I’ve already purchased on Steam, and have got duplicates of in Bundles, or as mystery gifts from the likes of @Bundlestars. So what I’ll do is give away 1 game/addon every Saturday, starting on 11th July. Giveaways will be at whatever time…
Content vs Consumption: The lie behind the spin.
Click it to get the original size graphic! Update: Forgot to include the Pandaren starter zone, so that takes Mists up to 11 zones! The Infographic says it all. I may have to take another run at those Wrath figures, because they do seem a tad high, despite the fact the Wrath zones had tonnes…
Pillars of Eternally writing Sheet Music
I’m really enjoying Pillars of Eternity so far. The storyline appears very interesting, pretty Planescape-ish in tone, and the classes seem good and varied. As per the video, the class I chose for my first game was a female Moon Godlike Priest, and whilst she’s not a straight up healer archetype, she can throw out…
Warlords: Where did it all go wrong?
It all looked so good, so full of promise, wonder and nostalgia. However, Warlords has sadly proven the old Heraclitus quote that you can “never step into the same river twice“. The Big Whimper of a L-L-L-L-Launch The expansion started off with a whimper. Servers didn’t work properly for days, rubber banding and being booted from…
Drama-llama-ding-dong
So the past 3 weeks has been pretty bloody stressful, with guild drama upon guild drama meaning I quit Thunder. The 2 weekends before last (one of which was even after I’d quit) were very difficult, and saw us bleed members for a short while. A lot of drama caused by someone (an officer no less) who liked to…
CMS Musings and Future Website & Content Direction
You may well by now have noticed that I’m no longer using WordPress as my site software. This is in the main due to the amount of hassle and grief I had with the previous installations of WP covering both this site and my guild’s main front page. Admittedly I loved using WordPress; it was…
Amusing & Puzzling: Subscribers
It always both puzzles and amuses me, whenever I take a bit of a content break (as you’re no doubt aware I do once or twice a year), that subs only ever increase during the break. However as soon as I start producing content again, the subs numbers actually drop lol It’s like people think…
Welcome to Sar Gaming!
Welcome to the new website! I’ve had a LOT of downtime recently due to nefarious activity on the webspace, and various attacks and shut-downs by my webhost, but we’re back up and running now, with a fresh new website and a different CMS solution (WordPress security sucks ass)! So, the below video is where…
