The Holy Moly Trinity
So without a major MMO release until early next year (although an expansion or two should get a bit of publicity glory this quarter), a lot of eyes have turned to what I’m calling the “Holy Moly” of RPGs — Torchlight, Borderlands and Dragon Age Origins. All three are getting pretty dang good reviews, and …
NaNoWriMo and the Deathly Hallows
Every time I think about NaNoWriMo during the past couple days, two feelings wash over me: absolute gut-wrenching terror, and butterflies of excitement. I might be writing about this off and on over the next month, so I should probably give a quick explanation as to NaNoWriMo and my history with it. National Novel Writing …
Champions on Probation
“Don’t get me wrong — I like Champions. I just like this game more,” I said to my Fallen Earth clannies, as I navigated through the cancel subscription page. “Plus, I’m subbed through April, so it’s not like I can’t play it and change my mind.” Another clannie echoed my reasoning, as they just cut …
Copyright Infringement
Some days it’s a race to see which blog can wield the same obvious pun in its title as the others. But Keen, man, I got you beat by a few weeks. Even so, welcome aboard!
/AFK – October 25
It’s about time that someone put a stop to the epidemic of NPC cursing in MMOs, so salutes all around to Cryptic for making that happen! In other news, here’s a few articles and posts that caught my eye this past week: Cedarstreet re: First Impressions – “It’s the introduction phase that is really the …
Quote of the Day #2
Clannie #1: Who needs Disease Treatments sent to them? Clannie #2: I do. Clannie #3: I do! Me: I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Quote of the Day
“I told Jeff Skalski that I needed to leave work early for ‘the roofer’. He thought I said ‘the reefer’ and said yes anyway. I love it here.” ~ WAR’s Carrie Gouskos, on Twitter
Saturday House Cleaning
I guess it’s time to roll up the sleeves and do a bit of blogroll cleanup. If you have a gaming blog and have linked to me, but I’ve been so callous as to not notice and do the same in return, leave me a comment here with the URL of your blog, and I’ll …
Fallen Earth Gets “Darkfall’d”
I’ve been more or less following the bigger reviews that have covered Fallen Earth — the one month-plus mark is the point where a lot of journalist sites post these on MMOs. FE’s garnered a few above-average to great reviews, as well as its share of mediocre to blah judgments. So once I saw the …
Civilization: The MMO
Civilization is one of those games I intellectually like and always purchase the latest edition, even though I stop playing it about two days after I get it (it’s been collecting dust on my iPhone, too). Mostly it’s because I hate playing a game where I could lose by turn 3 and not even know …
