39 year old conquers fear of Dungeons & Dragons

39 year old conquers fear of Dungeons & Dragons

Published by Pinkatron2000 on September 30, 2017

I waited 39 years to get over my fear of math and dice to finally attempt my very first Dungeons & Dragons game with internet friends I have known for ages. I have conquered part of my fears, but not all of them, as Roll20.net makes die rolls 100000% easier to beginners! Our DM decided since we were all practically new, we’d start out with level 10 characters because she decided to run City of the Spider Queen. She adjusted it for 5e as much as she could and also tossed in a lot of home brew elements too. I…

The prettiest damn elf at the party – FFXIV

Published by Pinkatron2000 on July 11, 2013

In my life, there’s been a lot of games that I’ve beta tested for that had a lot of great focus in the first few levels and then…nothing later. There have been even more games that started well and turned into a festival of sad poop because of expectations. (Not naming any names.) But one MMORPG that I have been beta testing the stuffing out of and eye-humping it since I’ve started has been Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I managed to get myself into Beta 2 and have been gleefully screaming down the fan-girl slide since. Oh–yes; there…

Beautiful Gold Spam: Age of Wushu

Published by Pinkatron2000 on April 24, 2013

Quick and Dirty, ladies and gents–a why and why for, about Age of Wushu: a free to play world PVP kung-fu MMORPG. (Immature giggling goes here) Why you should play Age of Wushu If you are a fan of ancient china, chinese mythologies, the ancient kung-fu movies or wuxia dramas then you are going to enjoy looking at Age of Wushu. Despite being run on a graphics engine a bit out of date enough to rely on bloom, it’s still gorgeous and many places feel as if they sprung out of painted scenes. One of the better kung-fu/Martial arts F2P…

How to bribe a vet: Estates, houses, and grrrrl, is that a cherry blossom couch?

Published by Pinkatron2000 on January 22, 2013

Seven years. Seven years ago Shawn and I beta tested a little game called Everquest 2. Years before that, Shawn had beta tested a game called Everquest and said to me, “I liked it–but at the time I felt like the game and what it was trying to do was limited by technology at that time, and thought that in a couple of years it would really shine.” Well. Then they made EQ2. And we were hooked. When we played, we were crafters by heart. Without a group, there was very little content that could be soloed for some of…

SWGEmu fills the holes some of my favorite MMORPG’s leave.

Published by Pinkatron2000 on October 11, 2012

While I love SW:TOR, while I love guild wars–the game that has always held my heart the most has been Star Wars: Galaxies. Never before has a game allowed me to play a completely non-combatant, socially driven character relying on interaction in order to survive. Outside of (and perhaps equal to) EQ II has there really been a game that has offered the same sort of character home customizing and decorating. The game catered to and pandered to people who liked a challenge (Pre CU and NGE to be specific) and who wanted to make their mark–however small or large–on the game.…

2phatgeeks: Tera Online not (yet) worth it.

Published by Pinkatron2000 on March 24, 2012

Tera online is a fantasy-ish MMORPG in beta, with no NDA restrictions currently even though it’s still in closed beta. This weekend I had the chance to try Tera Online. The best I can do to sum up my experiences (and forgive me, those of you who have me added to your Facebook or Google+, as this will be a repeat performance) is: overtly sexualized child characters, jiggly tits, and Aion with a different UI and slight difference in combat. I played roughly an hour, hour and a half. I played my first character, an Elin–whom I originally thought…

Star Wars: The Old Republic. 2phatgeeks Celebrating the NDA Lift.

Published by Pinkatron2000 on November 30, 2011

Since August of this year, Shawn and I have been beta testing possibly—if not the most popular up and coming MMORPG’s–the most talked about: Star Wars: The Old Republic. And the thing is, is other than flailing about the internet squealing and telling people we were in the beta, that was it. We couldn’t tell them what we thought of it, what we liked, what we didn’t, how the game was doing, our reactions or anything. As long time Star Wars, Bioware fans neither Shawn nor I wanted to jinx our chances at having the ability to continue playing the…

We’re full of Sith.

Published by Pinkatron2000 on September 15, 2011

Along time ago, on a blog far, far forgotten….. There were two phat geeks who made posts, but life and distractions (Like Google+) came and endangered the meandering writing habits of two huge nerdlings. It’s been a long time since we last joined our heroes, Mel and Shawn for their epic adventures in cooking, life, loving, laughing and things they liked. What could possibly be worthy enough to keep us from updating frequently? Other than Shawn having a full time job of course and his wife having a severe case of oooo what’s that? Star Wars my friend, Star Wars. …
