Given that today is Sunday July 5th and not a Tuesday, it must be time to put out the Week in Review completely on time, and that means another weekly topic to think about. Today I’d like to talk about NCsoft, namely the idea that they are this evil corporation that murders babies (metaphorically) and [...]

Steam Now Supports Certain Free To Play MMOs
June 14th, 2011 
Omali Steam has made quite an interesting announcement today with the release of fourfree to play MMOs on the service. Why is it strange, you may ask? The clients cost nothing in themselves, and you play through Steam what you could simply download from the company’s own website for free. But aside from new publicity, what [...]
Global Agenda Going Even Freeer To Play
April 7th, 2011 Omali I’m not entirely sure that “freeer” (the comparative term for “more free”) is a word, but if it isn’t a simple phone call and bribery of my glass D&D dice should get that added into Webster’s Dictionary toot sweet. Global Agenda technically went free to play back in June last year, following its February launch. [...]
April Fool’s 2011 Roundup
April 1st, 2011 Omali April Fool’s is one of my favorite days of the year, because I love seeing what jokes companies will come up with, my personal favorite being Google’s yearly jokes. Today isn’t even over, and I think the award for the best joke goes to ArenaNet with Guild Wars, who not only created a trailer and page [...]
Global Agenda: 100% Sales Donated To Japan
March 18th, 2011 Omali Pitting companies in competition with each other over who can donate the most money to charity is a cruel, rude, and disgusting way to advocate for more donations by offering publicity as a reward. But hey, where there’s smoke there is fire, right? With news of CCP reigniting the PLEX for Good campaign to aid [...]
Global Agenda 50% Off
November 25th, 2010 Omali Since launch, Global Agenda has seen a myriad of updates and content releases along with the transition to a free to play title with boosters in the cash shop. Those of you still on the edge for buying Hi-Rez’s game will be happy to hear that the game will be 50% off for the next [...]
Global Agenda: Hey APB Players, We’re Still Up
September 18th, 2010 Omali I apologize to any ex-Realtime Worlds employees or APB players who might be offended by the above picture, but I had to repost this. Those of you on Global Agenda’s mailing list will likely have received the above email, taking a sharp stick and poking the still-warm remains of All Points Bulletin, and inviting its [...]
Global Agenda Going 100% Guild Wars Model
June 25th, 2010 Omali Before I go into the news story, I’d just like to make one of my opinions public: I have a very big hunch that the era of B-list MMOs keeping the $15 a month fee is moving towards its end. Obviously I can’t predict where the market will wind up, but I earnestly believe that [...]

No Elves: Global Agenda Video #2
June 18th, 2010 Omali Global Agenda’s “No Elves” video ranks up there with Aion’s “The More You MMO” and Turbine’s banner advertisements for Dungeons and Dragons Online (Broccoli or the Beholder?), so imagine my excitement when I see a new “No Elves” video. Moral of the story? Don’t bring your puffball net and toad mount to a gun and [...]
