Usually, I like to keep to myself when it comes to disagreeing with other bloggers. I don’t like conflict and I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yet, if we think back to Eurogamer’s initial review of Darkfall, was that just? People were upset because a reviewer on a big name site was …

MMO first dates
This article is all in fun. Take it with a grain of salt 😉 Gordon’s right, MMOs are a lot like women and, *stretch*, you might say that I’ve been around the block once or twice. Yes, I’ve tapped on many a keyboard and wiggled a fair share of mice in my day. But, when …
LotRO: Siege of Mirkwood expansion examined
We’ve got some exciting news today on the LotRO front. Turbine just announced that they plan to release their first digital expansion this fall titled “Siege of Mirkwood!” Victor of Mmeow was quick on the uptake and had a post up on this almost right away, so thank you to him for the tip. I …
Darkfall: The Destiny of Indie MMOs?
You know, there’s a lot of great things I’d like to say about Darkfall. Like, how they’re setting a new precedent for patch releases and content upgrades.

Ace of Cakes: Warhammer Edition (pictures)
Tonight marked a big night for the Warhammer crew. It was the night the world saw their very own cake, modeled after a squig and it’s loveable throaty friend, the goblin! The show was entertaining to watch. Duff and the crew at Charm City cakes outdid themselves on this one and gave us some good …
Champions and the rest: just go for it
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been excited for a game and let a review talk you out of buying it? If your answer is yes, let me encourage you to throw that hesitancy to the wind and go for it. Don’t let someone else’s opinion of the game ruin it for …
Why should some roles be more difficult than others?
During my World of Warcraft days, I heard an interesting description of the three trinity roles. It went something like this: DPS is a game, healing is a challenge, tanking is a job. That’s a pretty poignant assessment of the classes most of us play if you think about it. The description holds water pretty …
