SITE OF THE WEEK : Welcome to Spinksville : Spinks takes a deeper look into the minds of an MMO gamer, and the design of the game which they play. Interesting Stuff!
Concerning Ataraxia/Aion : Open Beta starts Sunday SUNDAY sunday.
One very important area that will affect everyone is that we will be balancing races as folks rush to log into the servers. As a result, you may get a “This race cannot be created” message because that server is starting to become unbalanced. If you come across this message, please feel free to try another server or wait until the server balance has tipped back.

Open Beta starts 9 a.m. PDT on Sunday, September 6th.
Guild News : We’re rolling Asmodian on Nezekan for Open Beta Week only.

Will I be a Mac Gamer in a few years?

Posted in PC Gaming, The Slurm Factory | 5 comments
With the recent news that Valve is moving over some of their most treasured IP’s to Mac, my mind began to drift off into thought of what this means as a PC gamer. Honestly, for now and for the foreseeable future, there is no need for me to own a Mac. Apple makes some solid [...]

Okay, after reading my last post, you can be assured that my hopes for Just Cause 2 being a good game had risen to new heights. By the time my Windows 7 (and subsequent drivers, programs, etc.) install was complete, it was pretty late. So, I started loading the demo for Just Cause 2 and [...]
Nerfs: Gamebreakers or Necessities?

Posted in Rer's Randomness | 2 comments
If there’s one thing all of mankind can agree on, its that Nerfs suck. The age old question however, is if they are unwarranted or truly needed for balance. As with almost any game, lately I’ve noticed this topic being discussed fervently within Allods Online. Now, before I continue its important to note a few things. First off, [...]
My second favorite thing about WAR

Oh yes gentle reader, you are on the cusp of a post regarding Warhammer Online! Long time since I’ve written anything about the game. In fact, I think the last thing I wrote was about large members of its community walking away from the game, and how it needed to be a turning point for [...]
Confessions of a Middle Aged Zombophile

I was never a big horror fan, so imagine my shock when I realized that I’d become somewhat of a zombie devotee. Or as we in the know call them, “zeds”. Better dead than zed is our motto. Anyhoo, it started when I went offline for a while and delved into table top miniatures. I [...]

I’ve been spending a bit more time in Middle Earth for the past week. My account is still active until the end of the month from that deal of deals that I got before the holidays, and I figured I needed to jump in and see what’s what before deciding if I should keep a [...]

I’ve worked at my current employer for almost ten years now. That may not sound like an extremely long time, but considering I’m turning 30 in two weeks, it means I’ve spent a third of my life at the same job. Yeah, I know, right? Growing up, most kids wanted to be firemen, others wanted [...]

Posted in MMO, Maeve's Meanderings | 4 comments
Games based on the microtransaction model are not new and seem to be gaining in popularity. These games entice you to test the waters with whispers of “I’m free to play! Come and see!” They give you a taste of the free samples. Then like the proverbial kid with his nose pressed against the glass [...]
Why am I still playing this game?

Posted in General | 4 comments
Ok. I joined multiplaying a few (several?) months ago, a bit before Aion launched. I was excited about it, as were many of the members and contributing visitors to the community. As I recall, there was a bit of hype concerning the game in many other areas too. I know that initially spirits were high, [...]
