Is Anybody Really Happy the WAR Guys Are Back?

Forgive me for being a little crass, but I’m not all that excited Paul Barnett and Mark Jacobs are back. These are the same guys who sold us a total bill of goods and then dropped the ball like lepers at the super bowl. To be quite honest, I’d keep Paul Barnett out from in …

Paul Barnett Re-Emerges

This holiday has been great on a number of levels. One of the better points – by virtue of having to exercise more… darn cookies – is that I’ve gotten to catch up on some of my favorite podcasts. Imagine my surprise when the I got to spend an audio hour with the illusive disappearing …

Happy Pre-Black Ops, Folks! Don’t let that mislead you. We don’t talk about Black Ops on this show; I’m just excited. There was a lot of great news this past week, MMO and gaming in general, so we thought we’d take a show and break it all down for you. There’s lots of great MMO …

Important Update: From the FAQ, it appears that the level up item can only be redeemed once per account. I’ll be interested to see if there’s a catch of some kind but, by the looks of it, it’s not as bad as it first seemed (thanks Werit!). I hope they update the product page soon …

IP Owner sues Longtime WAR Fansite

Ark reports the news today that Games Workshop, the company behind the Warhammer IP dating back to its tabletop gaming roots, is suing Curse fan forum Warhammer Alliance.

A Place for PvP

I’ve been playing LotRO as my main MMO for a few months now whose main PvP is monster play. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that PvP in LotRO is pretty well borked. It just feels like an afterthought; like they got done with a PvE game and realized they’d left out some …
