Log entry for the second week of June, 2051: It is nearly a month since I encountered the strange man in the ragged clothing. The prairie chicken eggs he gave me have yet to hatch, or do much at all. I am considering making breakfast out of them, as my supply of grilled chicken is [...]

Have You Revisited Your Old MMO Today?
May 23rd, 2010 
Omali We all have those MMOs that we’ve quit for various reasons: Lack of depth, that one annoying feature, lag, abundance of bugs. I, to set an example, recently started playing Fallen Earth again, which I had quit shortly before picking up Aion in late October. What I found was a much improved game, not to [...]
Fallen Earth: Now With Achievements!
May 14th, 2010 Omali Log Entry for the second week of May 2051: After my most recent encounter, I have determined it best to find myself a suitable permanent residence. Traveling for miles over these burned out plains, I pass by numerous, if not countless, houses and buildings in varying states of disrepair. Entire sides of the buildings gone, [...]
Fallen Earth: Do Not Fear 80% Layoffs
May 3rd, 2010 Omali Layoffs post-launch are not new in the MMO world. Once an MMO has launched, and most of the post-launch bugs are taken care of, a large part of the team (many working under contract rather than full employment) are let go.

January 22nd, 2010 Omali Hey there ex-Fallen Earth and Lord of the Rings Online players! I know what you’ve been thinking, “I’d like to get back into [insert game here], but I just don’t have the cash right now to foot the fee for a game I don’t even know I will still enjoy!” Boy do I have a [...]
Fallen Earth: Take A Note, NCsoft.
January 5th, 2010 Omali What is the difference between Fallen Earth and Aion? Ok, sure, there’s the wings, the combat, the currency, the crafting system, the point of view, the lore, the engine, and pretty much everything else. But what is really different about Fallen Earth? Given up? Fallen Earth doesn’t have the same problem with gold farmers that [...]
2010: The Blue Moon Year
December 31st, 2009 Omali We enter January as 2009 comes to a close, we look at the year before us, and the year ahead, and remember that life goes on, no matter what happens in the present. I’ve dubbed 2010 the blue moon year because it has the pleasure of beginning with a blue moon, an event that won’t [...]

Steam Deals: Good Stuff Cheap
November 25th, 2009 Omali With all the hubbub going around on Thanksgiving in the United States, and more importantly World of Warcraft hitting five years old alongside a slew of giveaways from Wow.com, it is understandable if you missed Stardock’s nod last week to Steam holding 70% of the PC sales market. Unsurprising, as many PC gamers you [...]
