Woah, two shows in one day?!?! Slow down, cowboy! Since we had technology troubles on 23.5, we got together again to do episode 24 proper justice. On this episode, we cut out the news and extras and get right into an hour of round table. This week, we’re talking: Negativity in MMOs, Used game sales, …

The Multiverse – Episode #23.5: “Can You Hear Me Now?”

August 31, 2010

Hey guys, Long time no see! I know, it’s been too long, but we’re back. This episode actually demonstrates some of the technological issues we’ve been running into trying out new recorders. Unfortunately, Ferrel echoes throughout; however, the content itself was too good not to share — hence, 23.5 and not 24. We talk about …

Hey Gang, This weekend has been hectic, but, honestly, seeing all that negativity in the post below got to me. So, instead, I thought I’d let you all know about my weekly article over at Lagwar. In honor of its going into open beta, I decided to highlight the top then things I think you …

After all, the two are the exact same thing, right? I mean, where were YOU when the rest of us were delivering our support right to the developer’s cubicles? Way to be ungrateful. Let me just say it, Gamestop is just a games pimp with a shiny storefront. Amsterdam meets America, I say. Hat-tip Syp. …

Fallen Earth “Lends a Hand” to Creative Player

August 24, 2010

This was too cool to pass up. One of my teammates over at Lagwar sent in a fan letter to the Fallen Earth team… on the back of a head. No, I’m being for real. He sent a full-RP letter, written on the back of a skull, and demanded swag. I’m not sure if he …

Update: The recording is done and was a great success. We changed up the topic portion a bit in a move away from the “big topic” variety we’d previously shot for. Let us know what you think when it’s up! Hey Gang, Just a head’s up about what’s going on with our little MMO show. …

ToC-10 as a Starter Raid Instance

August 23, 2010

by

I’ve finally been able to get in on the raiding game in World of Warcraft. Signing up with Chaotic Damnation has been a great decision and I now find myself as one of the guild’s two main tanks for the foreseeable future. The transition into raiding hasn’t been that bad since I’ve raided with PuGs …

Throughout the transition period, I’ve done my best to support Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online. As a lifetime subscriber, the change to freemium meant very little for me – and, still do. So, while I empathized with players terrified of what the changeover meant for them, I couldn’t exactly share their fear. That’s …

Clone Wars Adventures Isn’t Worth Your Time… Yet.

August 20, 2010

by

Wow, am I disappointed. I was under the impression that the new Star Wars browser MMO was… actually an MMO. It’s not. It’s a multiplayer lobby for mini-games ala Free Realms. I played for a good couple hours tonight in dead silence. Since you’re given the option to ignore the world entirely, many players just …

Sometimes, Being a Game is Okay

Categories:

a. MMORPG

August 19, 2010

by

Sometimes, being a game is okay, even if you’re an MMO. I’ve talked many times about how game worlds deserve more emphasis, but let me take a step back and say that having some “game” in your virtual world is a good thing. I agree with folks that wish TOR was coming packaged with fully …
