  • Yea, yea. I told you I’d have them posted and I ain’t no liar! Except all those other times.  But those weren’t lies.  They were just coming Soon(tm) and then we were shelved because we didn’t feel the reward of reading those posts was worth the time investment in developing them. CAN YOU TELL I’VE…

  • With my recent return to Star Wars: The Old Republic, I keep finding myself mentally comparing things to World of Warcraft.  I have no ill feelings toward WoW in my heart, and it still stands as a fun game.  In fact, I will be one of the first to defend Mists of Pandaria in a…

  • Imagine if you will: an epidemic that sweeps across the world, turning once active sociable people of all ages in to glossy eyed, mouth hanging, grunting creatures that barely resemble the humans they once were.  They stagger around, staring downward at an object – a relic of their former lives now become their master.  And…

  • Thus far in my MMO career I’ve primarily bounced back and forth between two games: World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic.  Oh sure, I’ve dabbled here or there in other games.  Occassionally I still jump in and have a swim in the waters of Dungeons & Dragons Online (Less so now that…

  •   Can I just say how much I am absolutely in LOVE with Game Dev Tycoon?   The games only been out for only maybe a few weeks tops and I am absolutely addicted to it.  Constantly trying new combinations of style and genre, laughing at the fun being poked at actual real world gaming…

  • I was recently reading an interesting article about the amount of harassment from the internet game developers face on a daily basis.  It was a good read.  A reminder about the utter savagery some people face when exposing themselves (or in some cases, forcefully dragged out into) the anonymous hordes of the internet.  I haven’t…

  • A lot of times I joking will post stuff from the WoW Forums, or poke fun at the BioWare forums.  I know that really it’s just a festering pool of every inane complaint where the smallest slight is trumped up like a national tragedy, and every idea demands the weight of the cure of cancer,…

  • This post contains no spoilers for the Mass Effect 3 DLC, Leviathan.  It also makes no sense unless you’ve played it.  It’s kinda like a double edged sword.  Of puns.  And plot.  But not important plot.  You know what? #$%& it, I suck at metaphors. Here’s the bit: Ashley: Shepard, what are you doing with Dr. Bryson’s experiment?…

  • There some days I have a hard time logging into an MMO. I play, I get in ruts, I take breaks and sometimes when the opportunity arises I will take a vacation.  Well, an opportunity dropped into my lap when Raptr sent me an email declaring that I had earned a “Raptr Reward” giving me…
