It’s Corgi time. Do you use Raptr? If you aren’t familiar with the program, Raptr runs on your desktop and tracks your game usage over the PC, PS3 and Xbox360. In essence, Ratpr is quite similar to Xfire, except it also tracks your Xbox/Playstation achievements/trophies. As you play your games more and achieve not just … Continue reading “Raptr Giving Away 10,000 Copies of Rift”
Cowen and Company, market analysts, are suggesting that The Old Republic peaked shortly after launch and has begun its decline. The analyst group suggests that Bioware’s announcement of 1.7 million subscribers marks the MMO’s peak, and that by the end of the current fiscal year, The Old Republic will boast 1.25 million subscribers. The current … Continue reading “TOR Subscribers Will Decline To 1.25 Million In March 2013”
If planets are children, Ilum is the son who plays by his own rules and inevitably is shot and killed at the end of the movie due to his own recklessness. Since The Old Republic launched last December, the high level planet Ilum has been the subject of major bug and resource exploits, controversial bans, … Continue reading “Ilum To Be Deprecated In 1.2, PvP In Warzones”
Memes somehow end up being far funnier when the people who perpetuate them end up in trouble by people who don’t “get it.” Take, for instance, the user who was banned from The Old Republic (including the game) for using the meme on the forums “I’m 12 and what is this.” Like any other company … Continue reading “[Humor] Bioware Permaban Over Meme Misunderstanding”
I’m confused about The Old Republic. On one hand, I’ve seen players complaining of over instancing on Ilum, but if Bioware was truly instance-heavy, the least they could do is balance out the population on the open world PvP planets. Granted, if Bioware had introduced the third Vulcan faction as I had suggested back in … Continue reading “Slideshow of the ___: A Disturbance In The Force”
I’ve often said that when Black Mage becomes the voice of reason, the rest of us are doomed. Every day it seems another financial institution is predicting how much The Old Republic cost to develop, has sold, and expects to retain in subscribers, which Bioware has not officially released, and the numbers are getting more … Continue reading “Falling Out #6: Everyone’s An Analyst”

The Old Republic is the worst launch ever. This is the first episode of Falling Out, a topical comic conceived in a mind with neither writing or artistic skills. Look for new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Make that one burger, big and juicy. Free To Play: do I need to say? We already know of Star Trek Online and more titles will no doubt follow in its footsteps. Sony Online Entertainment has shifted its development direction to free to play, CCP has DUST 514 coming on to the Playstation 3 and Vita … Continue reading “Predictions for 2012: 2011 Edition”
I hate to use the term “caved,” because it implies that Bioware is conceding to a less than favorable position. MMO launches are great in that when you preorder the game itself, you generally receive a preorder key which allows you access to the head start, and occasionally the beta. This key also tells the … Continue reading “Bioware Caves: Offers 48 Hour Grace Period”
