RIFT: The World is Amiss
A couple of days ago I posted about how the first stage of RIFT’s new world event seemed a little… lackluster, I guess. But just as soon as I got used to the new routine of dailies, the second staged kicked in, and now I’m starting to feel it. Some of the old (easy) dailies …
Quote of the Day
“Sony has told you guys that you are not going to win this. There’s no question, there’s no last-ditch rally to save the beach from Evil Mr. Shutdownington or whatever. Sony stepped up and said ‘guys, the petition thing, it’s sweet, but it is also totally pointless.’ And yet the desperate requests to spread the …
iPhone: Tiny Tower
Tiny Tower for the iOS is the first FarmVille-style game I’ve ever seen the point in playing, and even now I’m debating its merits as a “game” versus an “addictive as crap timesink.” What I do know is that there’s a lot of excellent points that elevates this title above the stupider elements of FarmVille, …
RIFT: Waving to madness
Right now RIFT is in the first of an eventual five-stage world event titled “Waves of Madness,” but so far it doesn’t feel “mad” so much as “oh hey, there’s a couple new dailies to do!” Don’t get me wrong, I love me some dailies that have interesting mechanics (I’m particularly fond of the quest …

Picture of the Day
Sparkling blood? Somebody finally killed Edward. ABOUT TIME.
R.I.P. SWG
One of the little perks of working in games journalism is that sometimes you’re treated to advance news before the embargo breaks and whatnot. So last night our little posse in Massively was sitting there, absolutely stunned to hear the word that Star Wars Galaxies was set to be “sunseted” on December 15th. I felt …
Calling for guest bloggers!
I’m going to be out of town from July 2-9, and rather than let Bio Break collect dust during this time, I’d love to continue a tradition by opening the doors for guest bloggers. So if you’re an established blogger who’d like to help out (and, hey, get some publicity for your blog), then drop …
Quote of the Day
“First of all, a lot has been made about the new ‘fourth pillar’ of story telling. Is it really all they are making it out to be? In my personal opinion, yes, it really is a big deal and let me tell you why. In the short time I’ve been playing SW:TOR I have already …
