Orbolg Sapper
The City of Steam Bestiary says Orbolg “lack proper awareness of their situation,” so this popped into my brain when I imagined what might go through theirs.
When I asked for feedback on the forums the only suggestions I got involved concern over whether or not the word “shinies” should be permissible since it’s used in other games, too.
I unilaterally decided to...

Rock'Em Sock'Em Colossi
The following tale was written first as a spur of the moment joke, but I was asked what happened next, so I added more. Then I was asked to post things in the Fanfic forum instead, so I revised, expanded, and rewrote it. (I even gave the characters names that time.)
And now I’m posting it here, just because.
Enjoy! [[MORE]]

Dramatic City of Steam Conclusion!
(Previous Episode)
TL;DR: Apologies all around from the people who count (and me, too!), those who needed a stern word have received it, let the healing begin as soon as the Channeler balance issues are worked out and we can have healers in the game.
Last night I posted that I was banned from the CoS forums, and I vented a bit about it. Levest (one of the other mods, and someone who I still...
Anonymous asked: are you upset because he's a mod and stated his opinion, or the fact that no one seemed to mind that he stated his "opinion" That having been there myself, I noticed the OP did not site anything apart from the fact that getting to level six, she flipped out and took to the forums to rant, nor did she want to continue the thread in an appropriate manner. Her responses were "pat...

City of Steam Update
(The last chapter in this ongoing tale can be found here.)
(And don’t forget this delightful ask from someone who may or may not be one of the forum members involved.)
So here’s the deal - The mod who encouraged all those comments? Mechanist Games (the company that makes City of Steam) didn’t make him a mod. R2 (the company that is publishing City of Steam) made him a mod,...

Calming down
I think what made me angry more than anything else was not all the ignorant children (mentally and physically - the ages in their profiles averaged in the late teens) coming out on the City of Steam forums and laughing at me and others for saying we were feminists. There will always be people like that in the world, to one extent or another.

i hate when you call a wipe and there’s always that ONE GUY that tries to stay alive
In our raids we have a warrior tank that has historically had trouble dying. We call the wipe so he stands in the bad (including swimming through lava in the Nefarian fight) to end the encounter, and it just goes on for another 5 minutes.

I like Brann Bronzebeard and Lorewalker Cho, I...
… but it feels like their only purpose in an instance or raid is to run around pushing all the buttons, activating all the Titan constructs and/or traps, and then demanding that a band of 5-25 adventurers clean up the mess they just made.
I mean … don’t we already have gnomes for that?
