I got the chance to spend some more time in the wasteland last night and I’m glad I did. When I last left off, I had done a couple of quests and some exploring but was getting a little frustrated at the fact that I couldn’t scavenge anything. Since scavenging is one of the biggest …

Aion Online free trial giveaway
Hi Everyone, Courtesy of my local LAN, I currently have one free trial for Aion Online to give away. Before today, I didn’t realize NCsoft even had anything like this out there. This trial is good for “up to 3 days, 5 hours, or level 7, whichever you reach first.” In that time, you should …
Do we really need UI mods?
When I played WoW, I used a lot of mods. At last count, I think I was around 35, give or take a few. They did everything from track my DPS, to telling me what battleground was earning bonus honor for the weekend. Just as important to me, they let me clear my screen off …
Fallen Earth opens trials for its live event
Hey all, According to a tip from the Sypster, Icarus Studios is opening the doors to its game so that non-subscribers can take a peek at it’s upcoming live event, Days of the Dead. The event will be Halloween themed (if you couldn’t tell) and will feature lots of neat stuff, such as building scarecrows …
First Impressions: the Fallen Earth tutorial
For those looking for the TL;DR, check out the quoted areas! As I mentioned earlier, I bit the bullet and bought a digital copy of Fallen Earth. All bank/server hassles aside, I was able to get into the game and spend a little time. Not much, yet, but I’m hoping to change that tomorrow. Right …

A troublesome introduction to Fallen Earth
I think I chose a bad night to splurge on a game. I finally broke and decided to buy FE. First, I went to Direct 2 Drive, transferred money online from my bank and went to make the purchase. Transaction failed, contact customer support. I decide that, hm, it was pretty quick after the transfer, …
Does Fallen Earth need item wear?
I’ve been sorely tempted to dive into FE lately. So much so, in fact, that I’ve been stalking the official forums looking for something to push me over the edge. There’s a lot that I find neat about the game, not the least of which is the crafting system. Which, apparently, is a bit of …
Let’s talk about the problems with Aion
Since criticizing Aion seems to be all the rage, I think it’s about time that I toss my hat into the ring with the issues I’ve seen and foresee as problems. I’m not writing this post in agreement with anybody because, frankly, I don’t agree with a lot of the doom and gloom people are …
Your ideal zone
As I was driving home yesterday, I started thinking about what creates that “drive” that keeps me wanting to log into a game. There’s a lot of factors but I think one of the most important ones has to do with the zones I’m playing in. Maybe I’m finicky but I’ve come to realize that …
