Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (February 2022): Just One Percent
The “Just One Percent” Project I love it when the blogosphere comes up with a gaming project like this! You can read about the origin of this idea in Krikket’s first post about this project and how she will go about it here. The very gist of it: Play 100 indie games within a year.…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (May 2021)
Guild Wars 2: What’s coming next I actually wasn’t expecting ArenaNet to give us a timeline of what’s coming when in the next few months, but they did! The highlight is certainly their livestream on July 27, showing us more about the upcoming expansion! Of course, we don’t have a release date for that one…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (July 2020)
If you still play LotRO, then you probably haven’t missed their recent server issues. We still don’t really know what happened, but it went on for a long time. Now apparently they are at a stage where the servers are stable enough, so we’re getting a compensation. Whether you were trying to log on in…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (April 2020)
Tropico 6 released a new free update with several bug fixes, but with it also came the ability to cross play between GOG, Steam and Origin. MacOS will follow later. I don’t use the multiplayer feature, but I’m still really happy see that it’s available now for those who do. At the same time, they…

Secret Blogger Santa
This post is part of the Secret Blogger Santa!-Community Event. I’ve been given the blogger Luana (bookstormgirl). The first part of the Secret Blogger Santa asks me to tell you a bit about the blogger I’ve been assigned. I had actually never seen or read her blog before, but I quite enjoyed reading through some…

My least favourite classes to play
Rakuno recently wrote about his least favourite class – or a class he refuses to play – and since I’ve now been pondering and wondering which class to play in World of Warcraft, it’s a fitting topic for me as well. My answer is two-fold. I would have listed very different classes 2.5 years ago…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (August 2019): Who wants my money?
Two Point Hospital announced their next DLC, Close Encounters, a couple of days ago. It’ll release on August 29 and is currently on sale both at Steam and at Fanatical (no idea if it’s available anywhere else). I love this game and have sunk a lot of hours into it and pre-purchased the two previous…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (August 2019): Blaugust participants
Do you know when we had our last Bookahneer’s Geekwatch? In June 2018. And before that, in September 2016! I tend to forget it exists… Less than two weeks of Blaugust left and I am still trying to catch up with all the participants this time. I have counted 68, including me. I did manage…

Brains, Brawls and Bravery
“Show yourself right now!”, she loudly exclaimed and looked around frantically. These dreaded shrubs everywhere! She twirled her staff in the air and let out several fiery beams. It had not rained in days and the twigs made some nice crackling sounds, but nothing else could be heard. “Not here”, she mumbled. She was not…

Keeping my blogroll up-to-date – Blaugust Day 23
I know I often neglect my blogroll, but it became quite clear when Blaugust started and I saw the amount of familiar names… only to realize that while I do know them and more or less regularly read their blogs (whenever my time allows, at least), I never added them to our blogroll. This is…

The beauty of Guild Wars 2 – Blaugust Day 3
Guild Wars 2 has a gorgeous game world and I am sure quite a lot of people agree with me here. I started the screenshot gallery even before the game had officially released. Back then, it was mostly the races’ capitals and Lion’s Arch. A few days ago, Ten Ton Hammer started a little competition…

Blogging in a foreign language
I had wanted to write this post as part of the Newbie Blogger Initiative, but due to real life, I couldn’t. I figured now that it’s NaBloPoMo and I need every topic I can find to fill this blog with relatively reasonable blog posts, I can still write about this “issue”. ;) When I started…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (March 21, 2013)
Welcome to today’s Bookahneer’s Geekwatch! The place about miscellaneous interesting news related to Guild Wars 2 – and on occasion, other games. Today is more about other games than about Guild Wars 2. ;) So far, only games that were “released” could be sold on Steam. There has been controversy about at least one game…
