Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

Hail to the King

Destiny's new raid, King's Fall, is hot. Real hot. If you ever attempted the Vault of Glass (Destiny's first raid) during the early weeks of vanilla then you'll remember that it was quite the varied and intense experience. The realm of the Taken King fully wields the banner of Destiny'…

Q: Your website is bad and you should feel bad
TLDR: Yes, I already know.

Long answer: BG Forum will soon celebrate its 12th years anniversary. To put things in perspective BG is older than: Facebook (which back then was thefacebook.com), Youtube, WoW, MyDoom / Novarg worm, HTML5, Twitter, Stack Overflow, Digg, Reddit, Github, Megaupload, Dropbox, Instagram, Tumblr, Firefox 1.0, the Apple iPhone, the Ninth Doctor. This pretty much sum the impossible legacy we have to maintain.

Destiny launched it's Eververse Trading Company (ETC) store which is the fun name for what is essentially a "cash shop"; the items available for sale right now are just a group of fun emotes. As expected there's already voices of concern that this may take the game in the wrong way - also known as the pay to win (P2W) way.

Earlier this month there were rumors that Destiny was ditching the mini-expansions (such as the Dark Below) in favor of a regular update schedule that w…

With 5 Weeks until Patch 3.1, news for the game has run dry. But Limit Break Radio Fan Mail is still flowing like a welfare tome-gear fountain.

Nika shares her experiencing judging Ghost in the Linkshell‘s fashion show, plus your calls. Join us, as always, for a hell of a time.

Hello there! Yeah, it's monday - no, I won't capitalize it since it sucks. But at least I can muse about games and stuff. No, don't leave! I'll promise this won't be boring... maybe. There'll be candy! Sort of.

King's Fall

I should have bought The Dark Below. Yeah, it was a load of crap game/dev decisions and a ridiculous price but if there's one thing Destiny excels at is raids. This weekend I jumped into the latest raid and while the game has changed a lot (for the better!) I can say that r…

Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

So, this week I downloaded the Wildstar client and planned to save it for a moment when I wasn't raiding in XIV or during the wonderful couple of hours in which my ISP is controlled by monkeys thus making it impossible to play on PSN. And so, last night I booted the client, created my NCSoft account (or rather recovered the password for the account I don't ever remember creating…

With Patch 3.1 still 6 weeks out, whats is a Limit Break Radio to do? Join the full cast as they respond to a recent critique about the ‘Death of the MMO Genre’ and what that does or doesn’t mean for FFXIV and it’s tremendous success. They also analyze how it all stacks up to other popular and failed MMO titles.

Ok, let's face it and not beat around the bush: I'm in full "waiting for 3.1" mode. I have explored whatever content I have wanted to explore in Heavensward and am looking forward to what the next patch will bring, even if some of it is partially unknown to us (and so far no Hildibrand). I have to agree with my current Final Fantasy XIV podcasts: the game's having pacing issues. But anyways, this post will be about what's going on in my gaming time, because... well, because.

Raiding

I love to…

The fall is here, and with it, a deluge of new games to bolster an ever growing backlog. For me, this effect has been compounded by the release of Bungie’s latest expansion for Destiny, The Taken King. Although Destiny has had two previous expansions, The Dark Below and House of Wolves, The Taken King is distinct from those two installments, more in line with the game’s original release than a mere expansion. Of course, Destiny has emerged as something of a contentious game. Many gamers wer…

I miss the old orbit

Thanks to a couple of good friends (who are actually a married couple) I managed to get Destiny's The Taken King expansion. If you read my Twitter you probably heard me say that I was quite curious to try it since the general consensus seems to be that the expansion fixed a lot of …

Sorry I've forgot to post the last few episodes.



Limit Break Radio returns to form with Aniero manning the helm once more. The crew talks about information revealed out at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show as a part of the special Live Producer Letter. Including the revelation that it will be a whopping 7 weeks before we’ll even see 3.1. But there’s info about airship exploration, Void Ark, Lords of Verminion and much more. Plus, your emails and reactions to last week’s “New World Order”.

Oh boy! One of those videogame itches that I've had for some time was defeating all bosses of Towerfall's Dark World expansion in Legendary difficulty. Every weekend we got together with a bunch of friends to attempt to progress through the expansion's "adventure" mode - 4 worlds of challenges each finished with a fun (in a masochist way) boss. We managed to make it to the fourth and final boss, which has what is likely the best name in any game, ever.

Legacy

With reports/rumors that Konami is stopping AAA console game development (except for their soccer game, PES) I started thinking back to their great days, when seeing the Konami logo in a game meant that it was very likely that the game was good and/or fun. I mean, I bet that at least one of your…

Boy, what do I write about? It's not writer's block, though. I have a lot of ideas swirling right now but I can't articulate any of them. Or maybe it is a form of block... how should I know? I am no writer! I'm just a guy sharing thoughts on the internet.

See? I make no sense.

Kept you waiting, huh?
So I finished Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Took me 50 hours, and I am absolutely satisfied with the gameplay - perfect in almost every sense. Having a MGS set in an open world is no …

I apologize for the misleading title, but lately I've been reading novels online. Specifically, I've been reading translations of web novels from Korea/China, which has apparently become a thing people do now.

These translated web novels are pretty different from almost any kind of book I’ve come across. They rigorously stick to the bare bones heroic journey. The authors have no apparent goals beyond telling the story (e.g. they aren’t telling the story to make a point about society). Ch…
