With the Lunar New Year Steam Sale going on, I decided to share my Elite: Dangerous Steam review in case anyone was considering picking it up. Due to Steam forcing a binary choice on me, I had to go with not recommending this title, but my actual opinion is much more nuanced than that. I definitely got…
I’ve been trying to make sense of Revival for the better part of a year now, largely because so many of the people invested in it tend to like the same games as me. The more I read about the features, the more Revival sounds like something I should cover in my Hobo Gamer series, and I keep trying to do…
It’s a funny title to write. The game isn’t really officially dead, after all. Hell, I’m not even sure that it could ever really have been considered alive, but here we are, entering into 2016, and it seems that all hope has been truly abandoned. Most notable among those who have abandoned all hope are…
It was a strange turn of events that lead to my return to Star Wars: The Old Republic. Sure, a large part of it was the unmitigated Star Wars euphoria that came following my viewing of The Force Awakens in all its derivative, nostalgia-enriched glory, but it’s more than that. While waiting on the development of games like Crowfall and Star Citizen…
Blogging on Blogs I’ve decided to give the novel concept of using my blog as a blog a go. I’ve never been much for writing blog style posts, always choosing to focus on more newsy or article style content instead. I guess in retrospect this probably comes from having worked on the college newspaper all…
I’m happy to announce that I’m a part of the team over at MMO-Central.com, where we’re pulling together a new site creating MMO focused content. Almost all of us are coming to this with an MMO fansite background, and we’re moving forward from there together to a brand new site as a platform for genre-wide news and commentary.…
I recently had a chat with Lewis Burnell over at Ten Ton Hammer about Crowfall and what exactly it is that has us so excited for it. In the piece below we talk the game, the genre, and what we want for Crowfall’s future.
I don’t generally post links to other blogs – in fact, I’ve never done it before -, but today I’m going to make an exception. Raph Koster, formerly the lead designer of Ultima Online, creative director of Star Wars: Galaxies, and current consultant for Crowfall, has been working on a series of blog posts detailing a lot of…
Early this morning the Kickstarter for Crowfall, ArtCraft Entertainment’s upcoming MMORPG, reached its close, seeing nearly 17,000 backers push it to achieve over double the requested funding, arriving solidly in place as the 15th most funded video game in Kickstarter history after earning total pledges just shy of $1.8 million.
Though my farewell to TESO is still picking up steam, I want to turn away from the negativity of the past and begin my journey into what I hope will be a bright new future. In my last year with Tamriel Foundry, I focused heavily on The Elder Scrolls Online, learning a great deal about that game to the neglect…
