Win a free copy of Fallen Earth – Plus Swag!

This is just a quick post to let you all know about a contest my buddy Ferrel is running. As you may know, he’s a co-host on the A View From the Top podcast and an all around guild-leading guru. Well, Icarus Studios took notice and gave him a crop of free Fallen Earth account keys, [...]

The Multiverse – Episode #18: “You are my Cold Sore (featuring Syp)”

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Multiverse. We were happy to be joined by a surprise guest this week, Syp from Bio Break and his new digs at Massively! We covered the week’s news (which lead to some extensive and great conversation), what Syp’s been up to for Massively, and entered into Blog-o-Whirl #2. [...]

The Multiverse – Episode #17: “Ferrel Offends EVERYbody”

Happy Tuesday Folks,

Another week, another Multiverse. Riknas was under the weather this week, so it was just Ferrel and I, with Ferrel at the helm. I’ve gotta say, I kind of like being a co-host. And a harvest queen– you’ll just have to listen to get that one.

Ferrel was in rare form, too. I’m pretty sure [...]

The Multiverse – Episode #16: “I am Betty White”

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 attention. Plus, any [...]

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 after [...]

The Multiverse – Episode #14: Guest Starring: Cindy

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 time doing our [...]

What I’m Playing: January 2010

I’m a very touch and go gamer, so a lot of times I find myself forgetting which games I’ve played, how fair of a shot I gave them, and how I felt walking away. So, as we forward through the new year, I thought it might be a good idea to chronicle [...]

Appreciating Fallen Earth’s latest patch

Over the last couple of days, I’ve been spending a lot of time in games other than World of Warcraft. WoW is a trap, you see. The number crunching, min/max, grab that loot game play has a way of wrapping its arms around you and not letting go. So, yesterday’s respite into Fallen Earth [...]

Fallen Earth gets a facelift… and maybe more?

When I logged into my email yesterday, I was surprised to find a press release from Icarus Studios waiting for me. Aside from feeling uncharacteristically like press, the details the release talked about surprised me. Here, I’ll let them tell you what’s going on:

Fallen Earth, LLC today announced [...]

Odds and Ends

It’s been a few days since my last post, so I thought I’d stop in and give you a quick update. My wife has this week off for the holidays, so we’re spending a lot of time together, not leaving much for gaming or blogging. That doesn’t mean nothing’s been happening, however. [...]
