Hey gang, Another week, another Multiverse! This week we touch on the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning trailer, FFXIV’s recommended requirements, the cast of DCUO, and more! We have a clarification from last week, too. It seems that the reported 200k new subscribers for LotRO were actually beta applicants. Still impressive, in my opinion! Thanks to …

One Year of Game by Night
Look at this, the one year marker for this site has come and gone and I didn’t even notice. Sunday was this blog’s first birthday and I’m very happy with how this past year has gone. During that time, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Darren, Tobold, and Larisa. I’ve started a podcast and found …
A Spoilerish Discussion of Inception
Update: If you want a good idea of some of the complexity (and plot holes) I talk about below, see this great write up at Cinematical. Judging by the number of comments, I’m not alone in my ponderings. For my wife’s birthday today, we went out to a matinee showing of Inception. As many of …
The Multiverse – Episode #21: “Overhauls for Cash”
Hey Gang, Sorry for the silence on the Multiverse front. We’ve been recording this whole time, honest, but a mix of travel and technical issues have kept us from getting them out to you. Well, that ends today. We begin with Episode 20, in which we group up with the MMO Voices podcast for our …
A Day for Memories.
Well today is a day for celebration. One where most Americans come together over BBQs full of various meats and veggies, eat and drink themselves into a food coma, all whilst blowing up anything that has a fuse. This weekend we have family in town to help us blow things up, erm…celebrate the forth and …
Okay Ahune, You Can Take Five
I have a freakish adoration of holiday bosses. Maybe it’s their loot pinata nature. Or maybe it’s the fact that you can only fight them a few days out of the year. Either way, when I heard that the Midsummer Fire Festival was on in WoW, I made a mental promise that I’d get to …
WoW’s Drug-Culture
Over the last few years, I’ve had the occasion to talk about a lot of things. One of them I haven’t yet is the prevalence of the drug culture in MMOs. Well, thanks to trade chat, that day has finally come. I see this all the time on my realm. Whether it’s in trade chat …
The Removal of Grind
As World of Warcraft and its player base age, the experience requirements for leveling have been dropped significantly. With items such as BoA gear and experience requirements for levels being lowered, the leveling process is becoming less and less of a ‘chore’. This means more players getting to the end game faster, and I am …
On vacation!
Hey Guys, As you’ve noticed, things are a little bit slow around here this week. My wife and I are getting ready for an anniversary trip out of state, so we’ve been busy. We leave Sunday and will be getting back on Tuesday or Wednesday. So, apologies for the quiet. I’ll be back soon, once …
Cataclysm Cutbacks, My Thoughts and Hopes for E3, and Gaming Keyboards
I’ve been pretty busy managing games, work, and hardware upgrades this past week, so I’ve been a little behind on the news. Sorry for the lack of Monday update, but there’s a few big things I’d like to touch on, so let’s get started. Cataclysm Cutbacks Path of the Titans represented one of the most …
