Picture of the Day (plus a small rant)
Star Trek Online is now graciously offering the in-no-way-suggestive Seven of Nine outfit in the Cryptic Store. We here at Bio Break Industries suggest that any company who promotes such an outfit must first wear it for a week, just to make sure that it’s both practical and fashionable. I mean, hey — it’s high …
Poll: What TOR Class Are You Planning To Play?
Two quick notes about this poll. One, you can select more than one class if you’ve got a couple in mind. Two, if you’re not planning to play TOR, then this poll isn’t for you, which is why I’m not putting a “none of the above” option.
Eight Characters Enter The Ring, But Only One Will Subscribe
“Cool guys don’t look at explosions.” ~ Cassusbounty I haven’t turned my attention to The Old Republic for a little while now, mostly due to being in a patient waiting mode that isn’t really engaging with the frothing crowds out there. If you believe everything you read, the game’s already been a huge success and …
Quote of the Day
“In playing I’ve found there’s not a lot of subtlety to the game. Holding back is not in the design motto.

One Million Awesome Readers!
We pause our lives for a brief announcement: While I don’t typically obsess over stats and hits on the blog — I can’t remember the last time I even checked the daily count — I think this is a pretty cool milestone. Over one million readers have stopped on by this blog over the past …
LOTRO: On Low Simmer
I haven’t talked much about LOTRO lately, and that’s mostly because I haven’t been playing it much. Sometimes you have to put a game on the back-burner and let it just simmer for a little bit when you’re feeling overexposed to it, and I think that playing it more or less nonstop since this past …
2010: The Year of Free-To-Play, Yo
It’s safe to say that 2010 has lacked a breakout MMO hit — although, to be fair, very little was on the table to begin with. The industry and waiting fans were already looking to 2011 and beyond by the time April rolled around, and whatever did manage to launch this year felt a bit …
