FFXIV: Amazon Bombed In Japan?


私の時は広場Enixについて話してください 私が 通常 言及して ファイナルファンタジーXIVが多分どのように日本で素晴らしいことをするかに. Sorry, I left my translator on. That being said, however, Japan has always been the primary consumer of Final Fantasy-based goods, and holds a considerable stake in the Final Fantasy XI community. So when I say Final Fantasy XIV will do great…in Japan, I don’t mean to imply that the title will do poorly … Continue reading “FFXIV: Amazon Bombed In Japan?”

Looking Back, Moving Forward: September 2010


It’s time to change the MMO Calendar, which can only mean it’s time for another Looking Back, Moving Forward. September brought upon us life, as well as death, and a whole lot of free to play.

Checking In With The BBB: October Edition

I Can’t Do This Alone: I’m Sick Of The MMO Stigma


Two months ago, I changed the “Month in Review” category to a monthly review called “Looking Back, Moving Forward,” and at the time I promised all of you that I would explain my reasons at a later date. As at least one person has pointed out, the legacy “Month in review” articles have been completely … Continue reading “I Can’t Do This Alone: I’m Sick Of The MMO Stigma”
