Remember when BioWare teased a little trailer at the Game Awards in December last year? That almost seemed like a lifetime ago. We got a glimpse of Solas – the much misunderstood hero turn villain in the series’s last installment Dragon Age: Inquisition. Well that was way back in 2014, and now five years on, it’s beginning to feel like a drag. Fans and players want to know where the story goes, and because the narrative has been so good in the trilogy so far (gameplay not so much), it’s only inevitable that folks would be craving for more. Furthermore, developers BioWare are not having a good 2019. Anthem has made the news for all the wrong reasons, and one might suspect that the studio is buckling under that negativity. So please BioWare, here’s why we need the next Dragon Age before it’s too late. Or, give it to another studio worthy of completing the saga. We Want To See Tevinter Let’s face it – we all adore Dorian Pavus as a companion … [Read more...] about Dear BioWare: Gives Us The Next Dragon Age Before It’s Too Late

Dragon Nest’s European servers are sunsetting in May
Ah dang, it’s been ages since we’ve talked about Dragon Nest, so I’m sorry this post is gonna be a downer: The game is sunsetting in Europe. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Dragon Nest Europe servers on 15 May 2019, 0600HRS CEST due to the end of our contract with Eyedentity,” publisher Cherry Credits posted on the official site today. It sounds as if the cash shop will be shutting down earlier than that, though, on April 17th, with the social sites due to go dark mid-June. “You are strongly advised to fully utilize all your remaining DNP before the Cash Shop closure on 17 April. Unused DNP will not be refunded nor converted after the closure of the Cash Shop. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all players for their warm support and enthusiasm since Dragon Nest EU launched in 2016. Your legacy of bravery and vigilance in Althea will always be remembered. May you keep this ferocious fighting spirit with you … [Read more...] about Dragon Nest’s European servers are sunsetting in May
Top 5 Reasons Why We Need A New Dragon Age In 2019
In case you missed the news, BioWare is about to announce something new for its Dragon Age franchise in December. Plenty of BioWare folks like Mark Darrah has been teasing a new game in recent times, but this one feels solid. Casey Hudson’s hint that the announcement in December ties in nicely to the annual Game Awards, which has been a platform for announcing new games in the past. With that in mind, we’re salivating at the thought of a new Dragon Age game for this generation of consoles and PC graphics. Here’s why we need a new Dragon Age game in 2019. We Want To See Tevinter Let’s face it – we all adore Dorian Pavus as a companion in Dragon Age: Inquisition right? Besides being openly gay and fabulous, the character adds a lot more emotional weight to the cast. More importantly, Dorian’s idle party chatter in addition to all the lore drops in-game suggests one thing. It all pointed to the Tevinter Imperium. Tevinter Imperium is the oldest extant … [Read more...] about Top 5 Reasons Why We Need A New Dragon Age In 2019

Tax Time Last night my wife and I had agreed to get our taxes done. Normally we do this over spring break but various reasons, one of which was a death in the family caused this to not happen. Tax time is one of those things that causes undue stress in me. While the only time we had to pay federal is when I was doing a lot of contract work, I still live in fear of someone having screwed something up. The IRS are a truly humorless group, and I always picture the agents from the matrix when I think of them. They would give zero shit that someone in HR screwed up our withholdings. As a result we end up procrastinating until we reach the point where it is either April or almost April and we are pushed into action to finally deal with it. Last night once again we were relieved when it was finished. For once we somehow dodged the bullet of having to pay state taxes, and are getting a small refund back from there. We ended up doing just fine, … [Read more...] about Spindleclutch Age
Dragon Commander: Divinity
A Cursed Bread Maker Last night we recorded our thirteenth episode of AggroChat. In various cultures the number thirteen can be either a positive or a negative, and going into the show I was not quite certain how that would shake out. Apparently for us however, thirteen is a very unlucky number. Last week Ash, Kodra and Tam were off hanging out together, and one of the activities was to build Kodra a brand new machine. All of this time we thought his intermittent problems were related to running on six year old hardware. Apparently whatever demons infested his previous machine have jumped ship and are now residing in the new one. We had trouble keeping him online and when he was online he seemed to have issues broadcasting. All of that aside I think we had a pretty good show last night. We talked about a hole bunch of topics including Tomb Raider and the fact that I maybe just maybe finally enjoy narrative gaming experiences. We also talk … [Read more...] about Dragon Commander: Divinity
