Week In Gaming

 

Teriadwyn

  • Did some SWTOR stuff that Celebathien will talk about, otherwise didn’t play much of anything. Highlight from last week: Teri went out to the war landscape.

 

Aerindys

  • No games for me this week due to real life stuff, other than opening up Minecraft for the first time. 

 

Celebathien

  • Ran Khel through scroll stuff in the Slag Hills. Had an internal debate on if it was Wraith’s Cowl or Wraith Scowl, as one is decidedly more lethal than the other.
  • I hate the eye quests in the game. So frustrating. They like to spot me.
  • Some stuff from last week, like my old dwarf sayings. 
    • Pain is temporary, but mithril is forever.
    • Glory comes to those who win it.
    • An axe in the hand is worth two left at home.
  • Non LOTRO: Mostly Star Wars stuff this week. I haven’t been in a big gaming mood recently. Made it through Chapter 1 of the story on my Sith.

 

Crister

  • Introducing. . . 

  • Contemplations upon the changes to Captains.
  • Respawn rate in new area conjures a remembrance of the two greatest battles my kin ever engaged in.

 

Gwaerendes

  • Deadly Rain in Cloudyhead Pass? More like Deadly Pain…first thoughts about the Second Age.
  • Stopwatching stable rides for science. (re: https://twitter.com/JThornshield/status/1397895627615264770 )
  • In ESO: Volenfell Adventures: When entering a dungeon, maybe make sure you aren’t in Veteran mode?
  • Also, Grahtwood is amazing to quest in. May I move into the Elden Root?

 

Sanswinda

  • Ran around Evendim with the field trip, doing some quests I don’t often encounter.
  • Died of acid rain in a minecraft world with natural disasters that I managed to make for my nephew.
  • Nitesh and I made it off Hutta with our Bounty Hunters in SWTOR.
  • Did some running around in ESO with friends and unlocked some companions for some of my alts.

 

Pineleaf

  • My Crickhollow warden started researching the events of an old dwarven war.
  • In MInecraft, I started on a quest to capture a forest mansion
  • In ESO, I tied up some loose ends in the Blackwood.
