I was very surprised by how many folks on Game Deals Reddit called this "the worst Choice in a long time".
There's quite a bit here that looks pretty good to me!
With this year's #Blaugust coming to an end, I wanted to share my thoughts on the event, the lessons I learned and my two cents on some "growing pains" of the event.
Blaugust 2024 is in the bag!
It's always a struggle to make it to the finish line, but I also always have fun.

I spent the morning counting blog posts, and while my eyes are deeply crossing at this point... I created the traditional #Blaugust in Review post.
Where I outline the event, give some statistics, and hand out the rewards.

Erenshor — EverQuest for soloers
It's not an MMO, it's an MMO simulator where you can handpick the party of your dreams and clear dungeons, kill bosses, and find uber lewtz.

Twitch Drops: Why?
It's an army of low-effort streamers playing commercials to hundreds of hidden browser tabs.
Building Thunderjaw — Day 1
My big birthday present this year was a LEGO Thunderjaw to go along with my LEGO Tallneck. It’s time to start putting it together.

Nexus: Kingdom of the Wind
Most people have never heard of NexusTK. Some people maybe heard of it long ago. It's different for me. Nexus: Kingdom of the Wind was my only MMO before EverQuest rewrote the MMO rulebook.

There was a discussion yesterday (thanks, @Nimgimli!) about the stories we tell about our MMO characters. Here’s five EverQuest stories about mine.

You’re down at K-Mart or Sears, looking at all those shiny new PlayStation 2 games in the sharp glass case; which one is the lady behind the counter going to bring out for you?
Everafter Falls is a farming/life sim where you get hit by a truck and awoken into the real world where you tend a farm and talk to speaking animals. It's pretty unique to say the least and I do recommend it. Here's why! #Blaugust #Blaugust2024
