Blogging Morrowind 2012

I know no one checks this blog, however, I wanted to comment on this yet again because, yet again, Morrowind has drawn me back in. After beating Skyrim I wanted to play something else. And that something else ended up being Morrowind. This time I'm armed with the knowledge of not playing too far ahead otherwise I get so overwhelmed with info to update the blog with it just falls flat. However, this is turning out to be a problem in and of itself as now my problem lies more in actually writing the posts, which in turns prevents me from playing and I disconnect with the character more. I'll figure out a system which gets me writing more eventually.

It's pretty astounding how much I've written about Morrowind over the years. It's one of my favorite games, obviously, but without talking about the game directly, just basically writing the equivalent of fan fiction for it, sadly, I've managed to write well over 6682 words, and that's not including my 2007 attempt at blogging about the game. I think some time I'll do a review of it. Maybe even cover a couple other Elder Scrolls games? I don't know. I want to cover a couple of series. Though I think I need to find a way to do videos. I would really like to make some stuff like that.

Anyway, this time I'm playing an Orc. Orc's are typically brutish creatures, and this one is too no doubt, however he seeks redemption. I don't know where I'm going with this character, but I want to finish the Temple, the Main Quest and Tribunal at least. Hopefully I manage to keep up this time. As always Blogging Morrowind is right here alongside It Is A Title. I'm determined to make it good enough to actually forward it to friends and other places. I don't know if that will happen. I still need to work on restructuring this blog for what I want it to be. A hub of all my thoughts on media so I can get them out of my head for extra room for more thoughts on more things which will in turn need to put on this blog. Eventually, I hope, maybe. One day.

Blogging Morrowind 2011

I enjoy Morrowind a hell of a lot. If you know me well, you know this as a fact. Back in 2007 I attempted to "blog" my experience with it, however I failed to keep up with my duties and flattered like many other "blogging" attempts.

Skip ahead four years, I'm inbetween High School and College currently AKA lots of free time. So I've decided it was about to time to actually try and successfully blog Morrowind, and hopefully Bloodmoon and Tribunal as well. It's been fun so far, and I think I'll manage to get at least a decent way into the game before my posting habits die off. Or at least my note gathering does.

It's not like anyone reads my blogs regardless!

The Adventures of Sardam

So I have a friend, named Sara, and Sara kind of ends up going to Juvie a lot. On her latest journey there I told her that instead of writing her letters, I was just going to draw her a comic. I meant just a page or two originally, and the first few pages reflect this, however as I thought about it, the idea blossomed and became it's own creature. Now I sit at the finale of the first issue, of what I hope will eventually be more. It's not perfect by any means, and the art is iffy at best (though better than most of my previous work).

Anyway, I know pretty much no one reads this blog, though if anyone just happens to stumble upon this place I IMPLORE/BEG you to go and visit the comic's blog. It's a relatively good read, and I want some feedback. Thank you so much in advance.

Super Mario Bros

Mario is probably the most iconic video game hero ever conceived, I don't have statistics so I can't say 100%. Of course whenever a Mario game comes out the world rejoices.

No wait, it doesn't really do that anymore does it?

Mario's initial non-platformer games were pretty low-key. Most people didn't really know about them, or just didn't really care. I mean some were probably pissed if they accidently bought Mario is Missing or whatever, but most people were only exposed to the core series. After the N64 was released Mario flooded the market.

Tennis, Party and Golf, the first three major Mario side games. All with at least two sequels , and the Party series just refuses to die. At least it's finally worth a look again now with waggle control thanks to the Wii and apparently the DS version is pretty fun with friends. But this is besides the point.

Blogging Morrowind

Considering how skewed my ratio of started to completed projects it I'm amazed I made it as far as I did with Blogging Morrowind. Really, for me it was a respectable effort, though I think the game is a bit too large for a project such as "Blogging" it in it's entirety. I had some pretty good ideas for it too. Such as MOD blogs talking about my adventures using fan-made MODs of all sorts, job specific blogs which focus on a character who isn't a barbarian but a thief or a mage which would have been a challenge for me as Morrowind is incredibly easy for fighter classes. Other classes aren't impossible, Morrowind just isn't as quick and easy for them. Without the side adventures the blog would still have ended up being massive.

New Project

"Wake Up. We're Here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up. Stand up. There you go. You were dreaming. What's your name? Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I heard them say we've reached Morrowind, I'm sure they'll let us go." - Jiub

I love Morrowind. It is one of my favorite games of all time. I love it so much that I want to write about it. So why don't i just write about it here? Because I wish to write about it excessively. Thus an entire new blog was born! Have you noticed this weird trend building recently where a gamer blogs their way through a game series? It started with Zelda, and other series like Ultima, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy started getting blogged as well. Now I have my own contribution to the movement.

Blogging Morrowind

If you know anything about the game this is potentially a massive undertaking. How am I going to possibly go about this? I don't know. We'll let the nine guide us together on this journey.

Marvel Zombies

Holy fuck, this was awesome. I'm on a total zombie binge right now, so I'm probably a little biased, but seriously. How can you not fucking love zombies?

I really liked the art style, faces always being heavily shadowed, and the design of most of the prominent zombies were awesome. You can really tell they put a lot of effort into the main characters. Sadly, you can also tell that they didn't care about any secondary characters that showed up. I mean being a "team book" of sorts that makes sense, and it's not like you can't ever tell who's who. Luckily it doesn't focus on them much anyway. Also, props for all the covers referencing older titles in the marvelverse.
