Picture of the Day
I love me some Big Bang Theory!
Batman vs. Jedi: The Dark Knight of the Force
Some days I feel like designing titles to blog posts that will result in the most hits. Without direct references to pornography, of course. How’d I do? It’s referring to the fact that I spent a weekend mostly away from MMOs and into single-player games. I wasn’t really planning for it, but as I’m spacing …
Is KOTOR 2 destined to be forgotten by Star Wars: The Old Republic?
Finding the wait for Star Wars: The Old Republic unbearable? Can’t get into the beta? Since we still have over a month to go until launch, there’s enough time to dip into the “prequels” (so to speak) of BioWare’s first MMO. You know, Knights of the Old Republic, and, um, that other one. I think …
Presenting our new podcast: Too Long Didn’t Listen!
Yup, that’s right — Syp now has a podcast! I’ve teamed up with Merric AKA Dodge from A Casual Stroll to Mordor to do a weekly half-hour show called Too Long Didn’t Listen. It’s going to be over on MMO Reporter as part of that network, but I’ll be sure to let you know when …

I really hadn’t planned on returning to LoL following last April’s brutal indoctrination, but several members of my Guild Wars guild was moonlighting in LoL on …

You can’t go back in MMOs (mostly)
While I do think that MMO nostalgists tend to wax a little too strongly on about how their game was SO great “back in the day” without acknowledging or remembering how crappy some of its features were and how some of the improvements that have come since were as a result of people being fed …
Finally, something for my lap!
Looking around me, I think I’ve become a complete techno-geek. I try not to be a first adopter of everything and not to be “that guy” who has to go out and buy super-expensive gadgets all the time, but I’m certainly not lacking for them at this point. My in-laws are forever buying new iPads, …
