Hulkageddon is one of my favorite MMO-related holidays, but a friend of mine recently asked: Omali, don’t you wish Hulkageddon would last forever? And I said no, friend who asks conveniently timed questions. Because then I wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy Hulkageddon. If you don’t know, Hulkageddon is a celebration in Eve Online where … Continue reading “Eve Online: Hulkageddon Will Go On Indefinitely”
I’ve never had an opportunity to play Everquest Online Adventures on the Playstation 2. Released in 2003, Everquest Online Adventures was one of the first MMOs to hit the consoles, and reportedly still has a rather healthy community to this day. For the fact that the game hasn’t been sold in brick and mortar stores … Continue reading “Stream Of Thoughts: Everquest Online Adventures”
Atari and I have never been on the best of terms. I believe I referred to Atari on a website that is not MMO Fallout, as an empty shell of a company that not only couldn’t keep itself on the NASDAQ stock listing, had a failed European branch, and has undergone more cosmetic surgery to … Continue reading “Atari: Star Trek Online Free To Play?

Eve’s history has uncovered major ponzi schemes, illicit banks, corporate espionage on an enormous level, and more. The phrase to live by in Eve Online is “it may not be ethical, but it isn’t against the rules.” … Continue reading “Hulkageddon 4 Kicks Off In Eve Online”

I’m going to inject a little politics into MMO Fallout when I say that, much like when former President George W. Bush gave a direct warning to the terrorists “bring it on,” Dave Jones’ prediction and seeming lack of care that All Points Bulletin would receive poor reviews was less than intelligent. Although here at … Continue reading “All Points Bulletin: You Are Dead, Not Big Surprise.”
Earlier this week it was announced that David Allen, President and co-founder of Alganon LLC, has departed for unknown reasons. Granted, it didn’t take long for the new President (Derek Smart) to step and in and clarify the situation: “Dave Allen didn’t ‘depart’. I fired him back in February for insubordination and for acting against the … Continue reading “Derek Smart: David Allen Fired, Alganon Should Not Have Launched…”
In January, Haiti was struck by a massive earthquake that resulted in countless damage, over two hundred thousand dead, and millions left without a home. In the following months, we witnessed an enormous surge of companies looking to get their players involved in donating to the cause: Participants including Blizzard, CCP Games, Frogster Entertainment, Sony … Continue reading “Hello Kitty Online: This Is How You Charity…Adorably.”
Hello Kitty Online has a proposition: How would you like to donate money to charity by playing video games, and by video games I mean Hello Kitty Online?
