MrSkimpole: @greygirlbeast I actually figured out certain things while writing my impressions. My problem was more about retracing certain aspects.

After the previous weekend’s failure at Weathertop, we decided it was time to work on getting a few levels before attempting to move on with the epic quest line again. With four of us looking at a 6 person event, we need to get well ahead of it in levels before we go back. The [...]

Fro those that are dipping their toes into the SC2 multiplayer ladders, I highly recommend taking a look here. What we’ve got there is a huge amount of SC2 replays with analysis from a gent named Day9. He really seems to know his stuff and I’ve learned a tonne just watching these things. Funny enough, [...]

I took on my raid – er, ultramarathon – and completed it in a little over 23 hours. The weather was perfect, the scenery was stunning and the experience was unforgettable but it was tough and apparently about 1 in 4 runners wiped. Many thanks to those who offered well wishes and thoughts after my [...]

Is it just me, or do the unique class mechanics stand out more in Warhammer Online than in most other games? The more I reflect on it, the more I see it in other games, but it just seems more prominent in WAR. By “unique class mechanic,” I mean the special feature that guides many [...]

September 10th. That is the day that Lord of the Rings Online follows Dungeons & Dragons Online into the land of Free to Play. Or endless beginner trial. Or no-money down access. Or however you want to frame the business model that Turbine is adopting. But the change is coming. The floodgates will be open. [...]

Facebook ads are to this coming decade what 3am TV ads used to be 20 years ago; low budget and often humorous. I keep seeing ads on Facebook that make me chuckle or scratch my head, like this one. How is this different than regular paper? The Facebook ad system allows you to pick your [...]

The Site This month saw another big spike in traffic due to something pretty much unrelated to the site. Cracked.com linked to a rant I wrote quite a while back about the mis-use of the term “microtransactions.” They did a humor piece about FarmVille, and somehow my post seemed relevant. Also driving traffic this month [...]

I found this interesting, if not a bit cynical (full story needs registration…): Q: How has the rising cost of making triple-A games changed production at Ubisoft? Alain Corre: The games that are not triple-A are not profitable anymore. And that’s changed in the last 18 months. When you have a triple-A blockbuster it costs [...]

MrSkimpole: HOTD 9 was rather awful as usual. Less fanservice, less action, but some slight introspection. Plot continues to be utterly insensate.

I played a bunch of Guild Wars this weekend as I am slowly working on my titles. 17 more Nightfall explorable areas to completely vanquish of mobs, and I will hit “I’m Very Important” from the maxed titles achievement track. This might come as a surprise to many of you who might think that I [...]

Commenters elsewhere respond to Ravious’s post on the GW2 Necromancer. Within 24 hours of first Necromancer information, the comments note that Necromancers are overpowered and that Warriors will devastate Necromancers. It is not just that people are commenting on balance for a game they have never played, for which they have no stats, where the [...]
