Where I’ve Been, And Why That’s a Good Thing ™

Where I’ve Been, And Why That’s a Good Thing ™

By Frank on August 2, 2010

Finally, the time to come up for a little fresh blog air! Some of you (and by some, I mean both of you) may have noticed the distinct lack of positive geek sunshine in your rss feeds lately. Yes, It’s been quite some time, but for those of you who don’t know or don’t follow [...]

Dragon Age’s Origin-al End

Dragon Age’s Origin-al End

By Frank on November 29, 2009

Recently I was fortunate enough to finish Dragon Age: Origins, and I do have to say, it was an interesting experience in many ways. Not to worry – those of you who haven’t played or aren’t finished playing won’t get spoilers to the ending. Today’s most positive note will talk about the journey to get [...]

The Great Consequence Of The Dragon Age

The Great Consequence Of The Dragon Age

By Frank on November 23, 2009

One thing that I have always enjoyed about Bioware games is that the moral choices that you make in them have lasting impact in the game. Whether it is the state of a planet, the disposition of NPCs, or the way your party members either applaud or oppose what you do, Bioware’s polished their system [...]

The TOR Beta Gold Rush

By Frank on September 30, 2009

Image via Wikipedia So it appears that Bioware is further along with their beta plans for Star Wars: The Old Republic after all – because the site now has a testing portal for the TOR beta where you may submit your interest to be a beta tester. Naturally this is a major announcement and even [...]

The Turtle-like Pace To The TOR Release Date

By Frank on September 24, 2009

Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL) via Flickr Pretty easy to guess, from the really cute picture, who are the players and who are the developers, right? Hint: we’re the ones that can pounce on things and like shinies. With information a bit sparse on the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO lately, the [...]

[Darth Hater] A Disturbance in the Update Force

By Frank on September 21, 2009

Over at Darth Hater you can check out my latest post about recent issues players on the SW:TOR forums have been having about Bioware’s updates. Are players in the right when they are saying that they deserve more about the nitty-gritty details, or is it too soon to tell? Check it out below: http://darthhater.com/2009/09/20/a-disturbance-in-the-update-force/

Battlegrounds and “The Usual Suspects” in SWTOR

By Frank on September 15, 2009

Cover of The Usual Suspects (Special Editon) Various blogs around the Net are referring to a new interview posted by GamesReactor for GamesCom in which Rich Vogel of Bioware “confirms” the existence of battlegrounds and other things in Star Wars: The Old Republic. I use the air quotes because if there’s anything I’ve learned over [...]

SWTOR’s Subtle Holorecords

By Frank on September 12, 2009

Image via Wikipedia Normally when it comes to MMOs, the backstory and lore is more of, well, background noise that it is something that comes to the forefront in terms of marketing for the game. The story behind why there is a conflict between factions, or why a certain race or character class motivated in [...]

Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Shades of Grey

By Frank on September 10, 2009

Image via Wikipedia With a few small details leaking out of the various Q&A’s and videos from PAX, Star Wars: The Old Republic has had quite a bit more to speculate about lately, which is a good thing for bloggers like me who need fodder to opine about. Perhaps one of the more curious things [...]

Sandboxing SWTOR

By Frank on September 7, 2009

Image by ragemckage via Flickr If you haven’t checked out the transcription I created of Darth Hater’s Day 1 Q&A at PAX with Bioware for Star Wars: The Old Republic, I’d suggest you do so – it’s a long, but good read. One thing I wanted to point out in that text was almost halfway [...]
