Team Spode

*Well, it was a team effort.

I didn’t think I’d be playing Valheim again, but here we are. Let’s try something different, this time.

This time, I saved them what needed saving.

All my friends have skyscales and I am jealous and also lazy.

After a decade or so of playing Guild Wars 2, I’m finally working on my character’s personal quest – to save the world, and then rule it. Tonight: Chapter 6, “Retribution”.

The Diablo series evolved from dungeon crawler to dungeon brawler. Diablo IV brings it one step further…

Team Spode has been playing V Rising for a couple of months and I have not written about it until now. I’m not even sure if I’ve mentioned it on social media. I’ve been trying to answer the question for myself of why I am not enthusiastic about this game? ...

Those “in the know” remember how much I’m struggling in Bloodborne and Elden Ring, even as I finish up the last of the main campaigns in Wildermyth. Those, though, are all primarily solo games. When I want to hang with friends, though, there’s only two choices: DCUO, and Valheim. And Team Spode mate Calrain made a whole new world and invited me in to go through the game a second time as we wait for Mistlands to re-appear. ...
