Darkfall: First weekend back

Posted on October 11, 2010 by SynCaine

I played a decent amount of Darkfall over the weekend, thought not as much as I had originally planned (damn you all-access League of Legends weekend!). I got myself situated with what’s been going on with Blood and our close … Continue reading →

Swing and a Miss: Dice or You?

Posted on September 29, 2010 by SynCaine

The somewhat recent re-launch of EGM magazine has, so far, delivered. The new quarterly version contains more interviews and ‘blog-like’ content than just a slew of preview and review sales hype (though it still has some of that as well), … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2010 by SynCaine

I’m going to preface this post with a little back history about Boink/Paragus and his approach to League of Legends for anyone not fortunate enough to experience it personally. You see if everything played out like Boink predicts, we would … Continue reading →

Previous fail breakdown was the real fail

Posted on August 31, 2010 by SynCaine

My post from yesterday was not as clear as I had hoped (that’s what happens when you rush posts at the end of the day I guess), so here we go for round two. What I wanted to express yesterday … Continue reading →

Love and Rage

Posted on August 25, 2010 by SynCaine

One thing that I love about League of Legends is how rage-inducing it can get. It’s more or less a nightly occurrence on vent that one or more individuals will reach the breaking point after some horrible loss, and a … Continue reading →

Fantasy… football anyone?

Posted on August 25, 2010 by SynCaine

While I know it may be very dangerous to mix gaming (nerds) with sports (jocks), here goes: Anyone interested in playing in a Fantasy Football league? I figured since we have a solid group that follows this blog, perhaps we … Continue reading →

Sheep, and the numbers they don’t understand.

Posted on August 16, 2010 by SynCaine

RealID, SC2, F2P EQ2, and why LoL does F2P right

Posted on July 28, 2010 by SynCaine

Taking a quick break from the Darkfall-related posts today to cover a few different topics. I’ve got a cold that won’t go away, which could explain my overly positive view in things. Or that’s just me, Mr. glass-half-empty-and-whats-left-is-likely-terribly-anyway. You have … Continue reading →

I’m back and full of Darkfall goodness

Posted on July 26, 2010 by SynCaine

Did you miss me? I’d say it’s good to be back, but really being back at work rather than sitting on a patio overlooking the caldera (google it) while eating breakfast that was just delivered is, well, not as cool? … Continue reading →
