Hi Guys, I’ve done this once before and it worked out well, so I thought I’d do it again. For those of you that don’t know, I write music when I’m not working/reading/writing/gaming, etc. My new multitracker came in the mail yesterday and I was up most of the night putting together this latest song. …

When a player announces that they’re planning on leaving WoW, never to return, a lot of us roll our eyes, smile, and nod. From time to time, I’ll come across posts like these on the official forums, usually greeted by “you’ll be back” responses and promises of “we’ll see you soon.” That’s probably why I’ve …

Word on the street has it that Blizzard is planning some big changes for the WoW raiding game come Cataclysm.  The current plan, as I understand it, is that 10 and 25 man raids will now drop the same gear. There’s a little more to it, so here’s the bullet list from MMO Champion: 10-Man …

I sat down with the new Star Wars: The Old Republic vid-doc today, after reading on Massively that Game Trailers had it up on exclusive. Now, I was pretty hyped up going on. What, with a couple of my blogger buddies being excited over it.  I believe the expression “Awesome Sauce” was used. So, I …

So, much to everyone’s surprise, the news came down yesterday that Turbine has officially been purchased by Warner Brothers Home Entertainment. Player reaction has been characterized by, really, their indecision on how to react. The fact is, we really don’t know a lot about how WB will manage a major MMO like LotRO or DDO. …

April 20, 2010

So what’s the lowdown, you ask? Well, Tiger Woods Online (TWO) is a browser-based online (full screen, decent graphics – think FreeRealms) golfing game, that’s free-to-play. It runs on an optional cash shop model but, rest assured, it’s entirely possible to experience the entire game without ever spending a cent. The cash shop focus also …

The Escapist is one of my favorite websites and it’s for reasons exactly like this. Uh, there’s an ominous glow at the door to see you. And if you’re over 18, here’s one for Dante’s Inferno. Oh, good. The breasts are safe.
