  • I am happy to announce that the Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood story summary is now complete and available here on the Land of Odd.  Just like with the other story summaries, it’s broken up into each patch starting with 4.0 and going through 4.5 with links at the top of the page so you can…

  • So it’s been a crazy few weeks.  I’ve been trying to get back into streaming in my spare time.  Got sick, got better.  Been taking care of my family and myself and our weird annoying emotional disorder problems.  Uh…  tried out those Super Duper Mega Stuff Oreos? And uh… Okay.  Okay okay okay.  Fine.  /sigh. …

  • So BioWare’s new game “Anthem” is right around the corner.  By that I mean releasing at the end of the next month, but hey, I just got done waiting thirteen years to fight a cranky old man along side Mickey Mouse, so what’s a month?  Originally, I was very much in the ‘wait and see’…

  • So with the recent announcement of 75% of the “Season 2” DLC being canceled, and Tabata’s departure from Square Enix, I feel that it’s time to finally put a cap on the somewhat infamous entry in the Final Fantasy series.  From its somewhat rocky and overly long development, to its reception and the follow up…

  • It’s getting to feel a lot like Christmas.  As in that gaming news keeps clawing its way earlier and earlier on the calendar.  Back when I was a kid, it was all about CES.  Then the gaming industry started its own show so it wouldn’t be lumped in with TVs and Camcorders called E3.  Then…

  • I’ve commented before here and there about ‘The Witcher’, the blockbuster game franchise developed by gamer darling CD Projekt Red.  It’s a game series that I have tried time and time again to sit down and play and I just never felt invested in compared to games like Final Fantasy, the Dragon Age series, or…

  • I apologize for being quiet around here lately.  Between my real job picking up with a big new project and my own little side adventure I’ll be getting into in the moment, I haven’t had a lot of time to post.  It happens.  But hey, that’s just the bad news.  The good news is you’ll…

  • Last year, I proposed a simple goal for myself.  To produce 12 YouTube videos for this site in 12 months.  I dubbed it the 12-in-12 goal.  I figured that it would be a simple enough goal.  That’s one video a month.  With a goal of one year, so if I fell behind or had technical…

  • UPDATE: While the logic below is sound, a recent comment drew my attention to testing what I posted here to find a number of small but crucial JavaScript syntax errors that may cause the formula to result in always returning 0 (the universal RPG Maker sign that something broke). Here is the corrected formula for…

  • Be they Loot Boxes, Prize Crates or good ol’ fashion RNG Containers, there’s nothing quite like the topic of Reward Cubes to bring a heated boil to the gaming community at large.  Are they pay-to-win?  Are they gambling?  Do they belong in full price $60 games?  Do they belong in anything beyond Free-To-Play games?  Should…
