Hello again, Internets. It’s been too long. I don’t like to go too far into personal details on this blog, so suffice it to say that this last month has been personally trying. I’m hoping things may settle soon, but summer is coming up and I’ll be taking a summer job until next school year. …

So you’re rolling through the city, drivin’ through the ge-hetto, and hit a stop sign. Out from a porch runs a dude yelling about how has he got a deal for you. He offers you a brand new 40″ flat panel TV for $100 bucks. Well, you think, there’s definitely something not right about this. …

Welcome back to another edition of The Multiverse! We start this episode off with a little Warhammer Online, move into angels with chainsaws and LotRO’s fourth anniversary, and Chris gets some guild advice from the man who wrote the book. This was kind of a crazy show. Especially when we answer Massively’s question. We’re also …

A sampling of their new cash shop:   And my personal favorite… Yes, that’s a chainsaw. An angel wielding a chainsaw. Can you at least train Logging with it? I haven’t played the game in a long time due to the let-down that was the Abyss. Tell me, is this the cash shop of a …

Update: Actually, as of 6PM PST the entire thing is over. No warning, nothing. That’s it? Really? We’re into Phase 3? Let me just say how disappointed I am right now. If you’ve been following RIFT at all, you probably know about this big world event they’re having. That’s great. I’ve been following it and …

What MMOs Can Learn From Super Meat Boy

April 15, 2011

by

This past week has been spent in a single-player haze, entrenched in the annals of Ferelden and Kirkwall, Seacrest County, Croatia, London, and Baja, and perhaps most dedicatedly in Super Meat Land (TM). It’s been a pretty incredible trip — and I’m not exaggerating — made possible in no small part by the 3D Vision, …

Questioning the F2P vs P2P Argument — is it Really More Profitable?

Categories:

a. MMORPG

April 7, 2011

by

Beau has a decent post up on Massively at the moment answering this question: Would he be more likely to play RIFT if it was F2P? As you might imagine, it brought the commentors out of the woodwork. Perhaps considering the penchant for vocal minorities to be, well, vocal, there’s a lot of RIFT hating …

[RIFT] Do You Have a Responsibility To Fill Multiple Roles?

April 6, 2011

I died fighting a rift today. That’s a feat when we’re talking a minor RIFT and a Justicar, even two levels under. I died because out of five of us, two rogues and two mages besides myself, no one had a single healing ability — or didn’t want to use it. So here’s the question …

Wow! Am I glad to be back. It’s weird not blogging for a big stretch of time after you’ve been at it for a few years. But, here I am and it’s good to be home. Now for the big news. I didn’t want to say anything until it arrived, but I was lucky enough …
