The Xbox One (More Reason to be Disappointed)

TheLazyGeek — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:00:44 +0000

What hasn’t been said so far about the new Xbox console? And if it hadn’t been said, would it need to be? It’s safe the say the entire reveal speaks for itself, and I agree with a lot that’s already been said and discussed. However, I feel I just need to add one more voice to the train wreck that is and will be the Xbox -- Continue reading...

A Guild Wars 2 Dungeoneer’s Tale: On The New Ascalonian Catacombs

TheLazyGeek — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:07:42 +0000

Despite having some time away from writing about my dungeoneering tales in Tyria, I have been keeping up still with the game. With the previous update, we were given a change to the Ascalonian Catacombs…for better and for worse. I also remind everyone this is a dungeon for which the recommended level for explore mode is 35. Dungeon: Ascalonian Catacombs | Mode: Explore | Path: Hodgins -- Continue reading...

Female Gears of War lead “tough to justify” or just bad game design?

TheLazyGeek — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 18:00:13 +0000

Pre-not-so-much-’preface’-but-more-a-pre-’this-is-different-than-my-usual-speal’…-face: You’ll find I try to avoid writing about the sort of things that would catch me some flak. In this case, gender-issues and sexism and the like. However, like anyone else, I still have a bit to say, especially when people say just the silliest things. In this case, said people blaming the market. In a ‘Gears of War: Judgment’ interview in the current issue -- Continue reading...

A Guild Wars 2 Dungeoneer’s Tale: The Embrace Strikes Back

TheLazyGeek — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:54:10 +0000

Not all dungeon runs I go on end with a sour taste in my south and me screaming for people’s head. If you follow me on twitter and have payed any attention to it in the last few weeks, you’ll know that a number of my rantings and whining deals fully or partially with dungeons. However, I have a tale of quite the opposite experience than -- Continue reading...

A Guild Wars 2 Dungeoneer’s Tale: Embrace the Sorrow

TheLazyGeek — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:28:48 +0000

Preface: It is safe to say, I am a Guild Wars 2 fan. You could say, I’m a fairly large one, pun intended. I play it daily, sometimes for only an hour or two and other times I’ll play it from when I wake up to when I wear myself out and go to sleep. I have four level 80s and with 11 still being worked -- Continue reading...

A Re-re-return and Update

TheLazyGeek — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:00:15 +0000

Alternate title for this post: The Post In Which I Tell you The Story of My People and Explain Why I Haven’t Posted In Forever. Remember when I would post, well, whatever I felt like? I haven’t posted anything since last year, but I’m here to tell all five of you, “No more!” I mean, a lot more. Or rather, a reasonable amount more. More posts, -- Continue reading...

To The Moon

TheLazyGeek — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 08:50:12 +0000

Let’s not call this a review, but rather, a reason why I love games. Originally I heard about the game, ‘To The Moon‘ from a wild trailer that I ran across while browsing the internet. You know, as I do. And, as always with most small games like this, the music caught my ear right away followed by the premise of traveling through a dying man’s -- Continue reading...

A Disturbance in the Force or Something Else?

TheLazyGeek — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:21:38 +0000

So, THIS happened. And after a few days have passed since the news, I will gladly tell you all of what I think about it. Actually, at first, I wanted to throw something out a window. I felt upset mainly due to how much Episodes 1-3 burned my soul. I would rather see Star Wars rest as it is rather than be brought up again with -- Continue reading...
