Earlier this year in Feburary, I posted the above image that quite a number of people received on their Station Pass adverts, and was blasted on a few forums … Continue reading “Clone Wars Adventures Confirmation Confirmed”

Fallen Earth: Now With Achievements!


Log Entry for the second week of May 2051: After my most recent encounter, I have determined it best to find myself a suitable permanent residence. Traveling for miles over these burned out plains, I pass by numerous, if not countless, houses and buildings in varying states of disrepair.

Aside from being great reading material to begin with, I will admit that Massively is one of the biggest sources of MMO news that makes its way on to MMO Fallout (although without my cheeky commentary). One issue I do take with Massively, being the cynic that I am, is … Continue reading “Dungeon Fighter Online: 197 Million Is Still Meaningless”

Blizzard: Put Your Loose Change Away, THIS Is How You Charity…


Make a wish, kids, because Blizzard just donated one million dollars to make your wish come true. Last year, Blizzard ran a two month long charity drive with a simple premise: Purchase a Pandaren Monk pet for $10 USD, and 50% of that purchase will go towards the Make-a-Wish foundation. Despite the usual complaints on … Continue reading “Blizzard: Put Your Loose Change Away, THIS Is How You Charity…”
