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…

I think it says something that in the wake of this whole Szechuan Sauce thing that everyone seems to be focused on the supposedly “cringey” Rick and Morty Fans and their reactions and NOT the horribly botched attempt at promotional relevancy that McDonald’s made. I mean, this wasn’t some spur of the moment thing. There was…

So… Episode VII. Wow, who ever thought we’d see this day. I haven’t seen it yet, and I probably won’t until the crowds die down some because I’m old curmudgeon at 32 years and I don’t want to sit in a crowded theater with a bunch of damn kids. (Also, thank you damn kids for…

If there’s one thing we nerds enjoy, it’s canon. Is this canonical? Is that? Is my OTP canonical? How does X fit into the canon? One need not look any further than the reaction to the announcement that the Star Wars Expanded Universe being retired into the Legends label to see how much a concise…

So, apparently WoW Insider is no longer a thing. Shut down by AOL along with Massively and several other gaming blog sites. While this blog has long since stopped being exclusively a World of Warcraft blog, WoW Insider was still a daily visit for me to keep up on the going on’s and the various…
