Life and times of Belghast: Blogger, Podcaster, Tank, MMO Gamer, Widow, and Cat Dad
Good Morning, Friends. I apologize for not blogging, but this seventh round of chemotherapy has pretty well debilitated me in both mind and body, and I am honestly barely holding in there. I got them to add an extra week to recover, so I am hoping that will make the final round doable. The main ...

I am still playing a heck of a lot of Guild Wars 2. Last night I spent my evening doing sibling time with Ace, and I feel bad for how not into GW2 they are . yet I continue to talk about it. I managed to catch Tequatl last night, which always makes me happy. This ... Read more The post Tequatl and Phrecia appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut .
Good Morning, Folks! If you have not been around this blog for long, one of the things that you have to know is that mixtapes are really important to me. I have spent large swaths of my life creating carefully curated lists of songs for the purpose of creating an experience greater than the parts. ...

Good Morning, Folks. The other day, I talked about easing my way back into Guild Wars 2. In theory, at this point, I am fully back and having quite a lot of fun. I had been playing my Ranger Main and mostly focused on World Bosses. However, last night I swapped to Belglorian, my Spear ...

Good Morning, Folks! Today I turned 50, and it is all sorts of surreal to be that age. The 40s did not seem too bad, but the 50s that is starting to sound a little old. I swear internally, I do not feel older than maybe my thirties. I have been juggling back and forth ... Read more The post How To Buy a Carry appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut .
Good Morning, Folks! It has been a while since I played Guild Wars 2. Around the drop of the current expansion, I flaked out and stopped playing. My guess is that this correlated with the launch of a Path of Exile league, but whatever the case may be, it has been a bit. We had ...

Good Morning, Folks! I am still mostly playing Path of Exile II with brief flurries of Spirit Crossing. This weekend brought a bunch of changes in my build, and I will catalog them shortly. On the personal side, Sunday is generally the low point in my recovery, and from this point forward, everything should be ...

This week, we record one of our shortest shows because, quite honestly, we did not have a ton to talk about. That said, I feel like there were a lot of fun discussions. We start off talking about Forza Horizon 6, as Tam has discovered how fun this series is. After that, we talk a ...

Good Morning, Folks! I m in the recovery cycle after my last round of chemo. I got my pump disconnected yesterday and then went to sleep around 7 pm and stayed that way all night, with a few brief wakeups here and there. Normally, I crash after coming home from disconnect, but I had someone ring ... Read more The post Raven Staves and Smashy Monkeys appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut .
I ve been a big fan of Spryfox games since I got hooked on Alphabear, and have played at least a bit of every game released since then. One of the games that I had looked forward to was Spirit Crossing, right up until the point that I found it was initially going to be mobile ...
