North Drizzlewood Coast is an amazingly diverse area from quiet caves, green forests, to snow blown ice mountains in the farthest areas of the North. You never know when each area will turn on you and become foe instead of friendly. Don’t let the beautiful scenery take you off guard! These areas have a long meta, but are well worth doing if you like loot, shinies and group fun.

Drizzlewood Coast, a heavily forested area with the Dominion and the United Legions fighting against each other, but it is still a magnificent place to go. So much beauty seems to be wasted and damaged from the civil war that is going on between them. It can be fast-paced because of the timing between events with places to go at a moment's notice. There is only one waypoint in all of South Drizzlewood Coast, but there is hope. To get around to the events quickly, each area listed has a helicopter pad close, so go to the helicopter pad and parachute jump to the next area. This is the best way to travel to each event and where you need to go.

In many video games, there is one creature that always seems to make an appearance and that is spiders. They are usually the same size as your hero and not totally realistic, but it is certainly fun to kill a bunch of them. Most of the time the spiders may have a single kill quest or you have a need to farm them for some materials. In Kill it With Fire, developed by Casey Donnellan Games LLC and published by tinyBuild,  you will take on the role of a spider exterminator specialist. Your mission is simple: KILL SPIDERS!!

West Bjora Marches has a lot of features that East Bjora Marches had, but it seems better laid out and is centered around Spirits’ Refuge to make directions easier. That being said, the description to each place will be from Spirits’ Refuge, which is located at Still Waters Speaking Waypoint. I will be adding a little tidbit of information to this guide, to leave you with a challenge. There are multiple Idols of Jormag, norn and essence chests that have been seen in my travels, but directions to them will be the adventure. The larger essence chest will need raven lock mastery.  Keep your eyes open!

This gem hit Steam on September 10, 2020. After only 11 hours of play, I found this game fun but also overly daunting. I can’t say how many pupils have died on their way to the Eye as I learned this game. Despite having way more failures than successes, I find it intriguing enough to try again. The following is an overview of the game so you can understand how it works and why I am already addicted to playing.

Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) has existed for thirteen years and has added a new expansion and endgame content in the past year starting with Minas Morgal in the fall of 2019 and an endgame raid called Remmorchant in March 2020. Some things have changed with these recent additions, but much of the underlying content remains the same. There is talk of changes, but any game that wants to last over a decade has to do some. The core of the game remains the same and the story stays true to Middle Earth.

The story itself does not take that long to play through but I highly suggest you read and pay attention to what is going on the first time through.

When I first received Portal Knights from my son, I thought, here is another crazy kids game I might be able to play with my grandsons. Little did I know that I would be sucked into this game to the point of losing track of time. Spending about a month now in the adventure, I absolutely love it. I acquired the PC version of the game on Steam. You can play Portal Knights on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android, Xbox One, iOS, or Microsoft Windows. It is considered a cooperative 3D sandbox action-RPG. The only downside is that it is only a 4-player game and not cross-platform, but it is still fun to gather in groups of four on one platform.

If you're trying to wrap your head around Conqueror's Blade, and you've likely often pondered about the best troops to bring with you while gathering.

Every unit can be used to harvest, and most of their output depends on their "Labor".

GreedFall is at its core an action RPG with story. Like other action RPG games in recent years the combat will require the use of some active dodging. Or in GreedFall’s case the use of dodging or blocking. This title from Spiders, published by Focus Home Interactive, features a world roughly equivalent to the great age of sail. The setting is thus similar to the 16th through the 18th century, but with some magic giving the rituals and customs of religion and tribe far more than merely social impact. Given the presence of companions who fight with you, you could consider it more of an AA mix of Dragon Age with The Witcher. It has frequently been compared to those two games. Which fits, as it is just a smaller studio making something that blends the two styles quite nicely. You will start in your home in the city of Serene, with plans to sail to Teer Fradee. You have two goals there, diplomatic ties to the other nations and the native tribes, and finding a cure to a plague known as “The Malichor.”

Sweating away this summer, GmaFog decided to chill out by finding vistas in Shiverpeaks. This area is full of nice frosty places to run around, with a few areas of grassy, tree-laden spots to warm up when necessary. The Norn and Kodan reside in these areas with the dredge as their foe. There were lots of slippery spots to fall so using your mounts seemed helpful, but GmaFog went to the vistas on foot for the ones that you can’t mount up.  As she didn’t want to spoil the experience for you, GmaFog will only show pictures of how to get there, not of the vista views themselves.

In the beginning, I only knew of a few I had come across while map clearing in certain areas. With the help of a few friends, I found some hidden libraries and some other areas new to me.

I’ve enjoyed a lot of what ArenaNet has done in the expansion of Guild Wars 2 over the years. Sure there are parts that drove me nuts, some that turned me off, but there is something about this game that keeps me coming back, unlike many other games I’ve played. I will admit part of it is the great community at Gaiscioch. However, it’s the fun of seeing what new twist they put in to keep it familiar, but different. What achievements will they give to infuriate us while we scrounge our way across a new map?

I did not pay much attention to this game when some of my friends in Gaiscioch were looking at it. I’ve been primarily a fantasy MMO player for quite some time. It’s been over a decade since I played anything close to Fallout 76 for theme. However, one of them streams the game a lot so I saw the game that way during beta. On release day, I had the money for it so bought it, but slightly too late. For a digital download it seems odd that some ran out of digital keys and you had to wait for a box to show up at your house.
