Saints Row IV Powers Video using NVIDIA ShadowPlay
Yesterday I mentioned some of the awesomely fun powers the player has in Saints Row IV. Well today, I have a video showing it. This also gives me a chance to try out NVIDIA’s excellent new ShadowPlay feature. In the video below, my character (I don’t normally play female characters, but SR4 allows you to…

Finished Saints Row IV and Liked It
I finished Saints Row IV and the DLC Enter the Dominatrix on my PC and liked it a lot. Enter the Dominatrix ended up being fairly amusing and had some cute flashbacks to Saints Row 3. Overall, the game had lots of humor, tremendous swearing, and fun. Since the majority of the game happens in…

On the Importance of Game Controller Support
I was somewhat out of gaming action for medical reasons for more than a month. During that time, I was pretty much unable to use keyboard and mouse to play games. I was, however, able to use my Xbox 360 controller for Windows to play games that supported it. And that led me to discover…

Thirst for Power LOTRO kinship website removed
I’ve taken down the Thirst for Power website for lack of use. All it seemed to get were spam posts advertising fake designer bags. Since the kinship is similarly a ghost town, I don’t think anyone but me will miss it.

My fourth character through Great River discovers new quest line in #LOTRO
What the heck?!? My Lore Master, who is a completionist and has done pretty much every solo and most small fellowship quests in LOTRO, didn’t see it. My Hunter and Warden also went through Great River, but were rushing to Rohan and didn’t do all the quests, so they didn’t see it either. Last night,…

Enjoyed BioShock Infinite, but ending was too familiar
I finished playing the fun BioShock Infinite last week and am finally getting a change to post about it. First of all, the game is fun, which isn’t a surprise, since almost every other reviewer said the same thing. The skyhook travel system is great fun, but don’t mistake this game for an open world.…

The slow, sad death of a LOTRO kinship
My LOTRO kinship, Thirst for Power, has had a long, interesting lifespan with serious ups and downs, and is now down for the count. I am the only regular player that has been on for weeks. Sure there are one or two others that leave alts in the kinship, but no playtime logged except for…

LOTRO: Snowbourne Mounted Daily
Today’s mounted daily mission video (and this is the last for a while, so you can relax and stop being bored by me) is the one given at Snowbourne, a large city in the south west of the playable area of Eastern Rohan. This is my favorite of the mounted missions because we need to…

LOTRO: Eaworth Mounted Daily
Like the daily mounted mission from Harwick, this mission involves taking on mounted enemies while being on your war-steed. In this case, however, some of the enemies have about 5 times the morale (hit points) as the normal ones here and in Harwick. In this playthrough, I avoided those guys, but I’ve had to fight…

LOTRO Tour 11: Thorenhad to Rivendell
In our continuing quest to travel to the ends of Middle Earth (at least without area transitions), we now leave the moron sons of Elrond and head to Rivendell to meet up with Lord Elrond in his library. We don’t take a hidden passage that Peter Jackson decided was appropriate for The Hobbit movie, but…
