Image by Will Pate via Flickr Whether you’re hurting waiting for server maintenance to finish (as is the case with Champions Online), for a game to come out (Aion), or for a massive ISP fubar to clear itself up (WAR), you’re going to experience that wonderful thing called downtime at some point or another in [...]

Image via Wikipedia Ah, Darwin. So stoic, is he not? Perhaps he could have used more games in his time. Still, there’s a reason for his appearance in one of today’s posts. Syncaine from Hardcore Casual went through a recent purge lately, as it seems to be the trend on a couple blogs, and did [...]

Image via Wikipedia One thing that I have been thrilled to see lately is people who work at blogs and sites getting a chance to rub shoulders with game developers of their choice. This is made very apparent when sites like Darth Hater and Gaarawarr Gabs get a chance to talk directly to the developers [...]

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 [...]

Image via Wikipedia The indomitable Jim Sterling from Destructoid dropped in an article talking about some curious comments that came through from Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. Apparently, Tomino isn’t too fond of games, saying that they are horribly “unproductive”, “waste electricity”, and are “assisting in the death of our planet”. Now I liked Gundam as [...]

Image by Roo Reynolds via Flickr So the pre-PAX hype is upon us in full swing, and there are going to be tons of games and developers for the unwashed masses to meet this weekend. Sadly, plans didn’t come together and I won’t be at PAX, but I’ll definitely be following all the news about [...]

Image by Danny Playami via Flickr Well – Zemanta couldn’t find me a good cannonball splash picture, but a human cannonball will be just as attention-grabbing, I think, right? Over at Warhammer Alliance, I’ve posted an interesting interview with Jeff Skalski that talks about the WAR one-year retrospective. But there’s also stuff about patch 1.3.2 [...]

So Bioware has finally decided that it’s time to stop teasing SWTOR fans by only showing a little ankle under the skirt of their game, and has moved on to giving us a little leg to stare at for a while. Today’s SWTOR Gameplay Demo weighs in at a hefty 20 minutes. You can grab [...]

Image via Wikipedia Ah, the wonderful world of MMOs, where these days folks are more fickle than fair weather sports fans and first impressions are more than important – they’re everything.

Image by seeinside via Flickr So considering I didn’t have enough semi-regular features on Overly Positive, I figured I’d just add in another for those middle-of-the-week doldrums. Sure, it’s only halfway to a weekend that seems more out of reach than hooking up with Jessica Alba or Brad Pitt, but nevertheless, it’s half over. Helpful [...]
