Shocking twist, rambling lunatic is ignored by the sane

Posted on April 21, 2017 by SynCaine

Like most his (sane) readers, I find Gevlon’s blog a great source of comedy. His tinfoil-based discussions, his refusal to accept reality, and the insane ways he twists himself around to get to his viewpoint are all more often than … Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2017 by SynCaine

The most recent ‘scandal’ event in EVE was the name change of the alliance “Just Let It Happen” due to a reported EULA violation that it promoted ‘rape culture’. First, I’d love for someone to explain to me how changing … Continue reading →

Amazon Games Studio is already dead

Posted on February 15, 2017 by SynCaine

Amazon Game Studios (AGS) is dead before it even released their first game. How do I know this? Because they signed John “After EQ1 everything I touch burns to the ground, with each failure burning faster then the one before” … Continue reading →

I just fixed Early Access

Posted on January 6, 2017 by SynCaine

I have a massive love/hate relationship with Early Access, but I think I finally cleared the final mental hurdle with it. Two primary issues bother me with EA. The first is when a game drags in EA, either because of … Continue reading →

EVE:Still not actually F2P, but feel free to be lazy

Posted on November 15, 2016 by SynCaine

Today the unlimited trial accounts hit EVE. Or, if you just like using terms without actually considering meaning behind the words (Hi P2W), EVE is now ‘free to play’. Lets talk about that shall we? A simple question first. Can … Continue reading →

EVE: Gambling banned, shrinking the sandbox

Posted on October 12, 2016 by SynCaine

And so gambling in EVE has been banned. Along with that, bans have been handed out to individuals associated with the gambling sites who sold ISK for real money. Right now EVE Reddit (generally an anti-goon place) is rejoicing, as … Continue reading →

‘Female Protagonist” – More harm than good

Posted on August 17, 2016 by SynCaine

The all-female lead Ghostbusters movie bombed recently. I didn’t see it, mostly because I don’t care for that franchise and because previews looked terrible, but also in part because ‘all female’ or ‘female lead’ marketing puts me off. And not … Continue reading →

EVE: Lets check in on the insane asylum

Posted on June 21, 2016 by SynCaine

This is some solid reading about World War Bee. So good in fact, that village idiot and master of the tinfoil hat, Gevlon, is back raging about EVE. Guess his self-imposed ban on posting about that terrible, terrible game EVE … Continue reading →

CR: Lets talk about my not-so-super chest

Posted on April 4, 2016 by SynCaine

Super Magical Chests (impossibly dumb name) in Clash Royale are handed out randomly whenever you earn a loot chest, with a drop rate of 1/1000. The rest of the chests are on a set rotation. The Super chest isn’t just … Continue reading →

Quick, guess Blizzard’s panic move!?

Posted on February 16, 2016 by SynCaine
