A funny thing has happened to me lately, I’ve stopped using my PSP to play video games. Instead, I use it to cruise my Google Reader before bed. All told, I have something like 92 subscriptions I follow regularly. As you can imagine, between the likes of Kotaku and the word-bank that is our blogging …

Re-subbing to WoW and Cataclysm Plans
The Problem I’ve been torn these past couple of days on which direction I should take my MMOing. I’ve been having a lot of fun in LotRO recently so I don’t plan on leaving it out to dry. Still, for some reason I go through periods of drought in that game. If my fun level …

Happy Monday Everyone! To start the week off right, we’re here to bring you the one-week-delayed Episode 16 of the Multiverse. Things didn’t go off a smoothly as planned but the results are a funnier show. Go figure. This week, our main topic is what it takes for an MMO to get, and keep, our …

Ark reports the news today that Games Workshop, the company behind the Warhammer IP dating back to its tabletop gaming roots, is suing Curse fan forum Warhammer Alliance. Ark provides the legal documents detailing the allegations but it pretty much boils down to using the word Warhammer without permission. Nevermind the fact that WA has …
SC2 Beta Impressions (or How I Learned to Love the Zerg)
It’s 2:50AM, on a school night (no, I’m not a student), and I’m just getting out of a 3-hour whirlwind session of Starcraft 2. For some people, this may not be a big deal but for me, let me be clear, this is a really really big deal – the deal to end all deals …

Pay-by-Hour is the wave of the… future?
I like to start my week off with a solid butchering of the English language. What can I say? Now, on to our main topic for today: pay-by-hour games. We don’t see these a lot in the Western MMO market. It’s actually a little strange given that it was a big business model for early …
Bad news for Fallen Earth
Oi, I’d be a little concerned if I was a Fallen Earth fan. Coming down the gauntlet today (via ITG, via the Escapist), we hear that Icarus Studios laid off a big chunk of its workforce. Actually, the initial report claimed that they had “closed their doors” but that may not be exactly true. Shortly …
