After last weeks post discussing my attempts at taking on a new Job in Final Fantasy XIV I feel now is the perfect time to discuss the most important thing for the game: its community. It’s been a hard thing to ignore recently as there have been some major changes. First, a renowned World of […]

XiVariety is the Spice of Life
I lose my mojo for a few months, I was barely playing anything, barely reading anything, things at home have been rather challenging and whilst I wouldn’t say they’ve let up or are likely to let up, I know I need to find room for the things that bring me joy, two of those things […]
Addressing moral dilema’s as Gamer.
I don’t usually use the term “Gamer” to describe myself, it’s something I dropped long before the GamerGate stuff tarnished using such a term, but for reasons of ease, I’ll use it for this article. We currently live in an era where we have more information available to us at the point of purchase than […]
What Drives Us and how it made me think on our relationship with music
You may, or may not, have seen that a Mr Dave Grohl seems to be on a bit of a publicity drive just recently. His band, the Foo Fighters released their tenth studio album, Medicine at Midnight, back in February, but he’s also been on a number of chat shows, performed with his daughter and […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 5
The Sanctuary of the Clans looms before me, a side entrance gated off, previously blocking my entrance, can now be warped through. Immediately I pick up another Artifact, bring my total to three. Two of Dumah’s brood guard a bridge over a pond, the only way to defeat them is to throw them over the […]
What are you reading? May 2021
I need to write up my opinions on The Last Wish from April’s book club, though I didn’t get to attend the Discord chat. I also managed to read a couple of extra bits last month over what I’d planned. There was a theme to them, the first is a graphic novel I’ve read several […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 4
So, last week we happened upon a room with a large elevator. On the far side of that room, I find two switches, one is a lever on the floor, it doesn’t do anything right now, the other is on a wall above a grilled floor. Pulling this lowers the grilled floor to the level […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 3
My next stop is a room I remember getting a little frustrated with back when I originally played this. It’s raining and vampires come out of the ground, everything is a bit green, particularly the pond (small lake? it feels too big to be a pond, too small to be a lake, what comes in […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 2
Leaving the gate room Raziel comes across more familiar scenery, the Lake of the Dead. Even though much of Nozgoth has changed in the time Raziel lay at the bottom of the lake, this landmark allows him to get his bearings. There are two directions I can, in theory, access, though I take the route […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
I’ve had a few weeks break from #ThrowbackThursday since completing my Final Fantasy IX playthrough and thus it’s time to get back up and running again. I decided to stick with the same era but go with a completely different genre and fancied tackling the Legacy of Kain series, now why have I started with […]
