As I play more MMOs, I feel like I’m widening my horizons and discovering more about myself as a player. One of the things that I’ve found out is that I really prefer smaller and quicker to finish zones. I like to feel like I’m moving forward with my character, not only in gear, but …

Do we have a right to our characters?
I listened to the latest episode of Shut Up, We’re Talking last night and an interesting topic came up that’s too intriguing to pass on discussing. Generalizing will oversimplify the topic, so here’s a piece of the question that was asked, “is that effort [you put into your character] yours in any concrete way” and, …
Support for a cool new webcomic
Hey guys, I just wanted to take a minute and point you all over to Dungeons and Draeni. It’s Kromus’ new blog and webcomic. He just started up this month but he has some funny stuff up over there. My favorite so far is “You Know You’re Addicted” but they’re all worth a look. Go …
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 …
MMO Wanna-Be’s
(The title may not be grammatically appropriate but darned if it didn’t look wrong without that apostraphe!) Lately, it seems like a new MMO is launching just about every month. Games are coming out of the woodwork and pushing the limits of what we expect to see in a new MMO. This is a great …
So you’ve decided to go casual
Greetings fellow casuals and welcome to your first lesson in the wonders of casualhood. It’s a strange game we play, you see. Some feel that we’re “doing it wrong” or “wasting our time” or that we should “go back to WoW.” To these people, we flip the bird. Seriously, they can screw off. You see, …
Always looking forward
One of my favorite things about following MMOs is the excitement that comes from looking forward to a new title. This year, it was Aion. Last year, it was WAR. Neither title could live up to the massive amount of hype it received even though both are fun games in their own right. As a …
My early Aion review
Aion’s been out for about a week now and people all over are posting their impressions. As a fan, I think it’s only fitting that I post mine. A little caveat before we skip the potatoes and hit the meat: I’ve played Aion for some time but I’ve yet to hit the Abyss or any …
Prediction about WoW’s armory
Within the next three months, the armory will be updated to allow you to view the status of your auctions and check your mail. Why? Because Aion has it. Nevermind that players have asked for it forever. Aion has it, so Blizzard, much like number one, will make it so. Two games that take the …
TAGN gives me two reasons
A reason not to play WoW… … and a reason to play WoW… Gotta love ye’ olde gaming noob. And penguins. Who doesn’t love a bird that wears a tuxedo?
