GRIS – a journey through the pain
Have you ever felt a pain so deep you lost your voice? Have you ever felt like you lost the ability to move, that you were swept away by even the smallest winds? Have you felt so alone and anxious that the world was grey and empty and everything important seemed to crumble away beneath
I hold the patience of stone and the will of stars – Video Game Music With A Star Wars Twist
I have written several posts about my favourite video game soundtracks before. This time I thought I’d do a less general one and focus down on what I love musically about just one game: Star Wars The Old Republic. The Old Republic is a Star Wars MMO made by Bioware that came out late in
The Terrible Boredom Of Good vs Evil – Where is the nuance in alignment based stories?
Inspired by a talk on Discord or well, rather me talking at Julie on Discord about SWTOR while she has to work/sleep and do other important real life tasks, I have put a lot of thought into the topic of alignment and character motivation of my characters in video games over the past two days.
What Dragon Age means to me
Yesterday was December 4th, or the Unofficial Dragon Age 4 Day. People wrote about what Dragon Age means to them, they posted stories and fanart, streamed and connected with each other. It was an amazing event and more than 5000$ were collected for charity. I thought, I’d share a bit of the love as well.
What’s love got to do with it…
For the last three weeks I have to admit I have not been doing much else in my free time besides playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I am far from being done. In fact, according tto my Uplay stats I am only about 56% through with the main story and about 40% through with exploration. It
Finding your way like nobody else – First impressions of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Early access has it’s ups and downs. Clearly it is amazing to not have to wait any longer and jump into a game as soon as possible. On the flip side though: If you have an issue, there are not many people around that can help you. Luckily I found the solution to my issues
The Anthem thing. Again.
So, there’s new info on Dragon Age. Sort of. Basically an article from VG247 titled “New Dragon Age, Mass Effect titles will be heavily influenced by Anthem, says Bioware”. You can find it here. What it basically boils down to is that Bioware says it wants to continue what they’re trying to do with Anthem in
Great game, well done! – Positivity instead of toxicity
Ever since I started playing Overwatch I have put a lot more thought into in game interactions between players. Trying to understand what makes some games work well and what turns others into a completely horribly experience. I’ve been a part of the online gaming scene for decades by now – and each online game
The burden of choice
Sorry for our long silence – it’s summer time, summer vacation time to be more precise, and kids want to be taken care of and then I was away for first work and then vacation and now my first last week of actual vacation is somehow filled with much more tasks than I wanted to.
“I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.” Even More Favourite Gaming Soundtracks
It’s been about a year since I posted the last recommendation post for video game soundtracks and in this year a lot has happened, a lot of games have been played and some really great pieces of video game music have been discovered or even re-discovered by me throughout the months. So this is mainly
