James Cameron: Avatar MMO? Perhaps
September 28th, 2011 
Omali Is the Avatar MMO a possibility? A question best left to James Cameron himself, perhaps asked by IGN. And by the good grace of Grendaline, IGN has come through with just such an interview. In an exclusive interview with Cameron, IGN asked the all important question, “what are your thoughts on turning Avatar into an [...]
Bethesda: You Flippin’ Betta’
November 10th, 2010 Omali Dan Bull wants a new Elder Scrolls game, and here at MMO Fallout we share his desire, although we aren’t necessarily willing to sing about it. Of course, we can always keep up hope that the next Elder Scrolls is the MMO that Zenimax Studios is allegedly working on. Oh well. We’re behind you, Dan [...]
Red 5 MMO: No, Seriously, It’s Still Coming Out
July 8th, 2010 Omali Red 5 Studios was founded by World of Warcraft veteran staff, and continued the tradition that Richard Garriot had upheld just a year prior: That for some reason new companies formed by old MMO vets have a habit of imploding in on themselves, if they ever even release a product.

Project V13 To Offer Some Form Of Permadeath?
June 27th, 2010 Omali Ask yourself: How many MMOs on the market truly have a punishing death penalty system? Games like Ultima Online, Runescape, and Darkfall have you lose most if not all of your items upon death, but when you become rich that is really nothing more of than a minor set back. Eve Online and Face of [...]
There Would Be A Call of Duty MMO Tomorrow
June 19th, 2010 Omali Back in January I talked about how Infinity Ward was rumored to be working on a Call of Duty MMO, which of course would likely be worked on by a different company under Activision at this point given Infinity Ward’s current less-than-functional status. Call of Duty itself, as I have said on a few occasions, [...]

Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment: We’ll Take Option 3
March 27th, 2010 Omali Gary Whiting? Who is Dale Grobois? Why is CME getting evicted? A company with no employees, no game, and massive debt, the Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment saga continues on MMO Fallout.
Speaking of Drama: Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment!
March 19th, 2010 Omali When we last left Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, the company had gone into bankruptcy, and an attempt to push out Gary Whiting has failed, leading to one question: So who is in charge? Well for now, we’re waiting for the courts to decide that. Until then, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is still in bankruptcy and unable to [...]
Gary Whiting: You Can’t Kill Me That Easy…
February 24th, 2010 Omali The more this Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment fiasco continues, the more I get the feeling Gary Whiting is going to come back as a Freddy Kreuger-style character who attacks CME employees in their sleep. This month, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, developers of the comatose Stargate Worlds, joined the lawsuit against Gary Whiting, former chairman and big time [...]
