Another class campaign in the history books: shaman. This makes for 75% of Legion’s class stories finished, as well as at least one class of every armour type at max level (a first in my WoW career)....
View ArticleReview: Star Trek: Discovery, “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad”
So far, Discovery has had a fairly different style of story-telling from most of previous Trek, save parts of Enterprise and maybe DS9. That is, this is an arc show. It’s telling a single continuous...

View ArticleReview: Star Trek: Discovery, “The War Without, the War Within”
After last week’s refreshingly fun episode, we’re back to Discovery’s old tricks. Last week’s ominous statement that the war with the Klingons is over turns out to be yet another attempt at cheap shock...
View ArticleFan Fiction: The Light Sith Code
If you ask me, one of the most fun things you can do in SWTOR is play a light side Sith. You’re a true chaotic good hero: passionate, free-spirited, and valiant, fighting to bring positive change to...
