Quote of the Day
“We don’t hold things back according to some sinister master schedule, to intentionally tease our fans, or for any of the other malicious purposes that I’ve seen bandied about on various forums. We try to release information when we feel like it’s ready and in a way that’s going to satisfy the people waiting for …
Weird question of the day
If you could make and play a completely non-combat (and non-healing) class in your favorite MMO, what would it be?
Guild Wars 1 is making me look forward to Guild Wars 2… but probably not for the reasons you’d expect
One thing I’ll say in Guild Wars’ favor — it’s one of the easiest MMOs to hop in and out, time-wise. There’s no lengthy login process, and when you’re in, the instant world travel gets you where you want to go without a lot of the downtime. I’m about 3/4ths of the way through the …
SypTV
Last night, one of my cohorts at Massively cajoled me into broadcasting my LOTRO play session on MassivelyTV’s livestream broadcast. I’m game to help out, but I still don’t quite understand the appeal of someone watching what I play, especially when they could be playing it themselves for free. Furthermore, I was at a loss …
LOTRO: Marching into Mirkwood
I’ve been bitten a bit with wanderlust in LOTRO lately, experimenting with a few new alts (nothing serious, just curious how the classes felt) and wrapping up my month-long stay in the Haunted Burrow. End result of the fall festival? Like most everyone else, I assume, I’ve gotten every housing decoration, a billion tokens and …
My Keyboard Setup
I think every PC gamer has their own exact keyboard setup that they like to use for as many games as possible — which is why there are disgruntled folks when a title doesn’t allow remapping keys. I thought, for lack of anything else that’s interesting this morning, to share my keyboard layout. Since my …
Why I Love MMOs: A Haiku
Ack! I forgot to make good on a promise to write a haiku if someone donated a minipet to me in Guild Wars. Bio Break reader Karl did such a thing — actually, he gave me five pets, so he’s in the Bio Break Gold Club right now — and I’ve been forgetting to write …
Minecraft Fireplace Fail
I’m not as big on the Minecrafts as the other cool kids these days, but this video made me laugh (be sure to stick it out and listen to the guy’s understated comments). Remember, kids, only you can prevent blocky house fires!
Two TOR Posts For The Price Of One!
Riding Hype-rspace Into TOR Game By Night’s Chris has a decent article (and by that, I mean that he’s finally mastered those tricky subject-verb pairings — just kidding, Chris!) on the wait to TOR and his take on the hype/anticipation buildup. Good stuff, and for the most part, I totally agree. We’ve heard it a …
