1. Shitty community 2. Shitty community 3. Shitty community Did I mention tiny maps, overpowered weapons, rampant cheating, and shitty community? I’ve been playing Modern Warfare the first for a couple of months now, since a buddy offered to sell the GOTY version to me for $20. In that time, I’ve had to resort to …

These last days…
Delightfully ominous, isn’t it? Tee hee. Well, there’s no foreshadowing here. It’s been a few days since I last checked in, so I thought it was about time for an update. So, where have I been? As always, plugging away at Fallen Earth but at a much slower pace than I’d like. I’ve been talking …
Checking in with the consoles
For as much as this blog has seemed MMO exclusive lately, I’ve actually done a fair bit of console gaming as well. The biggest chunk of this has been on my DSi, as I can take it with me on the go, but I’ve spent a little bit of time with my Xbox 360 too. …
Why Fallout 3 doesn’t do it for me:
Since Fallout 3 came out last year, people have been practically going crazy over the game. With the continual arrival of new expansion packs to keep the game fresh there appears to be no end in sight for the behemoth adventure of the kid from Vault 101. Don’t get me wrong, this game has a …
I finally enjoy first person shooters – but an MMO?
Well, it took a little while but I’m finally having fun playing online multiplayer for an FPS. That’s actually the main reason for my absence yesterday. A little bit of history might help explain the situation a little bit. My history with First Person Shooters goes back to the days of Doom. I loved that …
Champions Online travel powers [Video]
Tentonhammer has a video up this morning that showcases the travel powers available in Champions Online. It’s a great watch and clocks in at over eight minutes long, so you get a good impression of the potential these travel powers have for your character. I’m impressed with what they’re offering. The animations are fantastic and …
Done with Aion China and other ruminations
I decided today that I won’t be logging in again to the Chinese version of Aion Online. The game is a lot of fun, taken for what it is, but I’ve still decided to take a step back. The main reason for this is that the American release is looming ever nearer. I have a …
There and Back Again, an Achievement Whore’s Tale
I can say that all of my gaming falls between two categories, MUDs and console gaming (XBox 360, and Wii) My life as a gamer began as just a 4 year old little boy glued to the TV playing Super Mario Brothers on the NES and eating Lucky Charms (I now eat Frosted Flakes). I …
What’s the deal Cryptic?
What’s with the silence Cryptic? I’m not much of a super-hero fan but Champions Online had me intrigued. No, not because it’s a new AAA MMO but because it’s a new AAA MMO for my console. I love PC games, I do, but there’s something appealing about the idea of becoming engrossed in a game …
Should I Buy: Korg-DS10 – Nintendo DS
Let me start off by saying that this is not a game. That being said, it is a wonderful piece of software to add to your DS library… if you have an interest in making music. That’s what this “game” is: a music making tool. Korg-DS10 is modeled after the Korg-MS10, a popular synthesizer released …
