Links Before the Holidays

As is my tradition, I will be taking a short break from blogging over the holidays. I expect to be back at it late this month or perhaps early in the new year, depending on how I feel.

My Sith warrior in Star Wars: The Old RepublicComing up when I return: A journey through the remaining class stories in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a review of season two of Glitch, and much more.

To tide you over during the break, I’ve got a few more articles up at MMO Bro. First, I take a look at the best non-fantasy MMO settings, for those weirdos who prefer space ships and superheroes over Elves and wizards. Then, I rank some of the best MMOs for solo players, for those of us who aren’t always social butterflies.

Also, if all goes according to plan, Moiren will be doing her annual Lovecraftian Christmas caroling livestream tonight at 9PM Eastern. It’s basically the only holiday tradition I have these days, so I’ll be tuning in.

It’s beginning to look a lot like fishmen…

I wish all of my readers a happy winter solstice. May you be spared the predations of Krampus and the wrath of Robot Santa for another year.

Song of the Month: The Naked and Famous, The Runners

Time for the latest installment of my “link a song so I have more time to work on my books” series.

New Zealand’s The Naked and Famous are a strange band. I find their music can be quite hit and miss, but when they get it right, wow, they get it right.

Case in point: their most recent album, Simple Forms, which came out roughly one year ago. There’s a number of songs on this album that don’t quite do it for me, but the ones I like, I adore.

None more so than The Runners, which is still the best song I’ve heard over the past twelve month period.

Not much to say beyond that. I just really like this song.
