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 the inclusion of several wilderness graphics …

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. For example, we …
So, apparantly, I can’t ubsub from Fallen Earth
Update #1: Trying to re-up it didn’t work. I sent an email in to account support. I’ll let you know what happens. I don’t like recurring subscriptions. I just don’t, the mental weight of that extra monthly bill bothers me. So, I usually pay for a month and then cancel the subscription right there. I …
Gaming in a time crunch
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates in the last couple of weeks. It’s the end of the semester at my college and that means a lot of things are coming due. When I’d rather have been writing here, I was instead writing about feminism in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. You can see where I’d …
The future isn’t AAA games
On the last podcast, I mentioned that I didn’t think games like Darkfall and EVE were pushing the industry anywhere. I’m not so sure I believe that anymore. My reasoning was that those games were so niche that they weren’t going to sway big bears like Blizzard. Now though, I’m thinking that I may have …
Good or bad, I’m the man in the chaps
Yes, that’s right. I celebrated my triumphant return to Fallen Earth like every good cowboy. I rooted around in some discarded trash until I found myself a pair of authentic (and only slightly soiled) chaps. Look at that folks. I like to think of it as “framing.” I spent a good two hours in the …
Are players wrong to feel entitled?
Gordon had a post up yesterday that asked whether modern day MMO players were lazy or if it just seemed that way since games are more accessible these days. I felt compelled to respond, which I did in the comments section, but I think that the topic of my response bears a little more hashing …
Cancelling my subscriptions
As some of you may have read, I lost my job about a month ago. With the economy in the state it’s in, I’m having some trouble finding a new one that will work with my course schedule. I have a claim in to the labor board about the conditions surrounding my leaving, so with …
These last days…
Delightfully ominous, isn’t it? Tee hee. Well, there’s no foreshadowing here. It’s been a few days since I last checked in, so I thought it was about time for an update. So, where have I been? As always, plugging away at Fallen Earth but at a much slower pace than I’d like. I’ve been talking …
Two Fallen Earth trial keys to give away
Massively opened up their free trial giveaway yesterday for players interested in trying Fallen Earth. These things tend to go quick, and I know some of our readers here are dying to try the game, so I reserved two (the maximum per IP address) for any readers of this site interested in receiving one. Before …
