Warhammer Online Is Boring Crap, At Least Mythic Thinks So…


Mythic Entertainment is taking a unique approach to advertising Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes, their upcoming MOBA game, and I’m not just referring to presenting the title with all the apathy of a high school student’s PowerPoint presentation on the agricultural impact of Wyoming on its neighboring states pre-dating the 1900’s. Back when Wrath of … Continue reading “Warhammer Online Is Boring Crap, At Least Mythic Thinks So…”

Week In Review: Why Hath WoW Forsaken Me?


Thanks to World of Warcraft’s seven day welcome back week, I have something to hold my attention for seven days, at least until the little girl from The Ring comes through my television set to murder me (the joke’s on her, I’ll be playing The Room on a second television. Try and brave that to … Continue reading “Week In Review: Why Hath WoW Forsaken Me?”

Week In Review: Fueled By Mac and Cheese Edition


I hate limited edition goods, because they always leave me feeling like I need to hoard them before some indeterminate time where they go away to possibly never return.

What Happened This Week: Macrotransaction Edition


I skipped This Week in Review last week because I only had three days worth of posts for the previous week. This week, I want to continue the Week in Review articles by starting out with a question, and it pertains to Star Wars Galaxies. It’s always a downer to hear that an MMO you … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: Macrotransaction Edition”

Let’s Revisit The Turing Test: Five Years For Longevity


It’s been almost a year since I wrote the MMO Turing test and, looking back, perhaps I didn’t make the best choice of words. My goal at the time was to distinguish games with a real future from those that couldn’t cut it in the market, owing in part to the fact I don’t like throwing … Continue reading “Let’s Revisit The Turing Test: Five Years For Longevity”
