switch is actually a replacement console for the wii u and it goes in the direction that sony attempted to move with their vita 2 but amped up to 11 here s the trailer that nintendo dropped this morning yes you saw that right they were playing skyrim with the game with the presence of splatoon on the switch it seems that the wii u will still likely connect to the nintendo network platform additionally given nintendo s typical modus operandi of supporting the previous console s games on the current console wii u games will likely be playable on the switch nintendo also claims to have 50 developer houses on board for game creation for the switch but the real question is whether they will hang in there or bug out after a year or so like developers did with the wii u one other item of note is that the system runs on a custom nvidia tegra processor the same processor family found in nvidia shield tablet perhaps that is why the switch looks like it can do so much given its mobile emphasis still it looks like nintendo is blurring the lines between mobile and traditional console gaming in a way that wasn t possible before eta added the links to some of the items posted by

game bugs when you almost fail a quest because you think that the slurred words are merely bugged poorly translated ones that happened on lotro for me with the lothlorien quest just north of the vinyards to admonish the elven revelers who have imbibed way too much i read the exclamations above the revelers and at first thought that those who actually said something were the ones who need to be admonished one try disabused me of that idea then the next try i noticed the slurred or mispronounced words surely i thought they could have gotten a better qa person to fix this then oh those are the people i need to admonish excuse me while i go and imbibe a little myself seriously with three weeks to go before the 2016 us presidential election i think i ll be doing the imbibing along with

well i should clarify that and say an mmo trailer not from blizzard blows up the internet bioware must be doing something right as the 6 minute trailer from bioware for the upcoming expac for swtor started trending on fb today the funny thing is people are pointing at the trailer as being better than several of the star wars movies seriously go google it and you ll see oh and here s the trailer

thursday september 29 2016 a few short musings if i ran as much as my lotro toon does i d be back to a normal weight i m at that point in the mines of moria storyline where i m sent from the crossroads down to the waterworks then back to the 21st hall then down to the flaming deeps and then back to the 21st hall then down to the waterworks you get the idea outside of the fact that the storyline wouldn t simply wait for me to go back and forth like that if this were closer to a real time event i d have worked off all those years of helping to eliminate excess halloween candy in our household even though i love the slurring that wow has their toons perform when talking i think i prefer the lotro version of the drunk toon sure both mmos have the screens get progressively blurrier but lotro takes it a step further by making everything monochromatic sepia toned like you re swimming in an oil tainted pool the toneless muttering also makes it sound like i ve collapsed in a corner arguing with myself over whether stalin would have arisen in russia if lenin hadn t passed away when he did it felt weird logging into swtor after having spent so much time in lotro recently i d jumped on a toon that was deep in justicar territory on coruscant and it felt airy i never thought i d say that about the lower levels of coruscant but after a month s worth of slogging through the mines of moria it sure feels open and welcoming i once read it described as an offshoot of moving at the speed of plot in a novel or a pencil and paper rpg these boring parts can be skipped to keep the pace going videogames not so much you d have to rely upon cutscenes to keep things moving or automated transportation perhaps but neither is an ideal situation posted by redbeard at 9 07 am no

the tomb of balin frodo thought of bilbo and his long friendship with the dwarf and of balin s visit to the shire long ago in that dusty chamber in the mountains it seemed a thousand years ago and on the other side of the world at length they stirred and looked up and began to search for anything that would give them tidings of balin s fate i fear the book had ill tidings to record said gandalf the first clear word is sorrow but the rest of the line is lost unless it ends in estre yes it must be yestre followed by day being the tenth of novembre balin lord of moria fell in dimrill dale he went alone to look in mirror mere an orc shot him from behind a stone we slew the orc but many more up from east up the silverlode poor balin he seems to have kept the title that he took for less than five years from the fellowship of the ring i m a bit of a night owl this admission is no surprise to people who know me but it also means that i m used to the night sky and darkness in general there were days at a previous job when i d go to work early 3 am local time and leave at 7 pm and in the winter i d never see the sun in the sky but after a few weeks of moria i ve started craving the sun although i may play one on lotro i m no elf i don t mind urban environments and as a kid i wanted to be an astrophysicist so i was fine with staying up all night working on telescopes khazad dum however is a completely different animal sure there are places where there are wide open caverns that give the impression of space but you re still enclosed under a mountain of rock at least somebody has a sense of humor in this valar forsaken place there s plenty to enjoy about the mines of moria however i can t shake the sense of impending doom sure i know what happened to durin s bane courtesy of the fellowship of the ring but that doesn t mean that the devs don t have more tricks up their sleeves after all the last third of shadows of angmar was a case study in an increasingly futile attempt to stop angmar s inevitable victory in the north having just completed the waterworks minus the raid part all i can think of is that balin and company certainly weren t unprepared and balin himself was a shrewd and wise dwarf was he simply blind to the reality of durin s bane or did he think he d marshaled enough forces to overcome what the entire dwarf city of khazad dum could not of course the expedition in the expac is fortuitous in that a major obstacle the balrog is removed but the balrog itself didn t destroy balin s expedition it was everyone else who d moved into the mines since the dwarves fled who did it in one of these days i should just go look up stephen colbert and shoot the breeze with him about whether he thought that moria was reclaimed in the fourth age i would get in early so i could actually you know get work done the 4 5 hours of almost nobody around meant that nobody would stop by and talk to me about stuff so it meant i could focus on my large pile of work to do i figured that since i was nearsighted and consequently unable to sign up to be a fighter pilot going the science route would be the best way to qualify for the astronaut corps there s one family story about when my grandmother asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up and i said an astrophysicist a puzzled look crept across her face and she turned to my mom in a loud whisper she asked what is that i don t know my mom whispered back i ve visited a couple of artificial caverns created by mining limestone and detroit has underground salt mines that i ve not visited but are similar in scope and the spaces created are similar but on a smaller scale the closest i can describe it is the 21st hall in terms of columns preventing the ceiling from collapsing as i doubt tolkien had the mining knowledge to understand how to tie the ceiling into the bedrock above and prevent the ceiling from collapsing tolkien could understand columns however posted by redbeard at 8 05

that blizzard is continuing its dominance of my posting cycle this time it s a bit unexpected chris metzen is retiring from blizzard he s not leaving for another company unlike some of the others in the industry but actually jumping off of the train to spend time with his family while i didn t agree with every decision blizz wow dev team made i can respect his work best of luck chris posted by

may ask if swtor s tendency to hide world bosses behind clickable items won t deter you maybe this will seriously if you find a hidden puzzle without any explanation don t start acting like the dwarves in khazad dum and delve too greedily and too deep you just might unleash an old god upon azeroth and really i ve done that several times on swtor before i finally got the hint and didn t click

august 28 2016 now this is a bit more like it with legion s release imminent this arrived in my inbox now this is what i kind of expected from blizz no mention of my previous mains however best of luck to wow players on release day posted by redbeard at 9 30 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blizzard wow friday august 26 2016 now this is an odd gear check silly me and here i thought i was going to proceed with the story for lotro s mines of moria expansion without running into a grind but a few days later and i m slaying orcs and angmarim and dunlendings in eregion grinding away at getting a legendary weapon up to l10 apparently a legendary weapon demands sacrifice bathing in the blood of my enemies who knew the first five levels weren t so bad the next two as well but by the time you reach l8 you have to whack a bunch of orcs just to move up a level and i dread what it s going to be like when i get to oh much farther downstream such as l20 or so i had no idea that i would end up wielding stormbringer in lotro this was what the cover of the first elric book i owned looked like from tor com and maybe i ought to start getting concerned about lotro s endgame given how the elric saga ended up and no i m not going to spoil that one the moorcock books are very quick reads but given that michael moorcock has rather publicly stated his dislike for tolkien s works i m not sure what he d think about my comparison posted by redbeard at 5 37 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fantasy novels lotro tuesday august 23 2016 i m going on an adventure somewhere up there lies the black pit courtesy of a lot of diligent grinding and a major boost from the lotro 50 off sale i managed to accumulate enough turbine points to nab the entire expansion for the mines of moria some thanks goes to the oldest mini red who has one toon on my account on this server and did some grinding for deeds herself a while back but if you ll excuse me there s a world underneath those mountains to explore posted by redbeard at 10 25 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels lotro friday august 12 2016 shaken not stirred i ve always wanted to play a spy because it is the ultimate acting exercise you are never what you seem benedict cumberbatch the 60 s era spy genre as interpreted by the swtor agent class story has all of the classics covered danger double crossing sex romance an insidious enemy and a dashing heroic character at the center and no easy choices although it was before my time by several years i m familiar with this tune by johnny rivers i m about at the end of chapter 2 and i recognize all of the signs for a big reveal and or turning point that sends me on to chapter 3 but the more i ve thought about the class story that i ve seen so far i ve been impressed with how clever bioware has been to humanize the story and get you on the agent s side spoilers after the break read more posted by redbeard at 5 58 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels swtor wednesday august 10 2016 what a puzzlement the name i d chosen eons ago for the blizzard forums is not redbeard believe it or not i was quite a bit more mundane and used one of my old standby forum names because i was used to having redbeard already taken imagine my surprise then when i received an e mail from blizzard a small portion of the e mail yes ol redbeard is front and center in the e mail i m used to some of my toons showing up in the occasional blizzard e mail such as azshandra nevelanthala and tomakan but this is different just who reads this blog anyway there must be a ton of scooby doo fans out there unfortunately i m not going to link the episode that features the ghost of redbeard go away ghost ship as i can see that the videos out there are pretty
