While I tend to get most of my gaming news on the internet, when I saw the latest issue of EGM magazine (issue 241.0), I had to pick it up. Since the magazine started back up, they’ve been doing an excellent job of getting unique interviews and scoops from inside the industry. This issue was …
Yesterday I posted a list of reasons why I think you may want to wait to pick up FFXIV. Despite that, I was there on day one to pick up the Collector’s Edition. As you can surmise, there are lots of reasons why I think this game is worth playing– even now, when lots of …
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 …
Reading through the recent edition of the Mog Log over at Massively, the topic of FFXI’s infamous 18 hour boss fight was brought up. This is the kind of thing that frightens people away from Final Fantasy MMOs, and rightfully so. 18 hours is too long for any boss; a single hour turns the fight …

Happy Friday Everyone, Today, I have some good news to announce: I’ve officially been hired on as Lagwar‘s newest writer! You probably know them from their popular podcasts, such as Lifenet for Fallen Earth. They’re also one of the few blogs to be mention on WoW’s official homepage. Not to mention, this is especially cool …
Hey Guys, We’re back with another episode of The Multiverse. This brings us up to, dare I say, episode fifty seven thousand, one hundred and twenty eight? Yeah, that’s about right. Anyhow, this week we’re pleased to be joined by Cindy from the MMO Voices podcast and the Dream Bytes blog. We have a great …
Hey Guys, Checking out the news from Game Informer yesterday inspired me to check back in with FFXIVCore and see what’s new. For those of you that don’t know, Square-Enix majorly favors Japan when it comes to releasing new information and the guys over at the site are great with translating it all and scanning …
Midway through last week, Game Informer got hold of the “Alpha” manual from one of the lucky testers selected to get in. There’s a good amount of info we already knew in the article, but there are some other tidbits that are pretty unexpected. The article hasn’t gotten that much blog attention since it hit …
