Lotro just got in where WoW is getting locked out. This means little in terms of revenue but a lot in terms of subscribers. 2.2 million Chinese were playing the open beta, with a high activation rate. But anyways they jsut got approval from the Chinese government to operate in China, or rather ...

Step 1: Learn about something. Read about it, both from the point of view of the people who love it, and the people who hate it. This applies to video games, critical writing, religion, politics, sports cars, whatever. Or if you are impatient, skip to step 2 Step 2: Interact with said thing. ...

The NDA for mirkwood dropped today so we've gotten a flood of screen shots everywhere, a veritable flood of visual "info". I personally like this one which conveys little information but looks cool:

All right you trekkies... I know you're out there! This one's for you! Star Trek Online will launch Feb 2 next year, in only 4 months. (If you believe that it won't be pushed back further I have some Bay Bridge stock to sell you..) The minimum system reqs are System Requirements OS: ...

Here's what I figured out today... transparency in pngs via 2D sprites and Embedded fonts, this one is Garamond. (As well as floating text) Next I'm gonna add a bubble and work on 3D sprites somehow.

Too much time at the office? Yessir, that's right sir! While I was sitting here pondering the way things have gone I got to thinking that MMO's in general have very little that is... unpredictable or exciting. I think Tabula Rasa tried to dice things up with drop ships and such and Aion with its ...

Ok So last night I worked on Rhuidia for about an hour and I got transparent sprites working! But it broke all my blocks into weird 3D geometry too.. so I'm not trying to figure out how to mix a proper sprite (with transparency) with my other 3D block objects. Fun fun fun! :) I'll probably be ...

There's a new kid in town on the voice chat front and it's Blabbelon. This may well devastate Ventrilo and TeamSpeak as we know them or it may just force them to copy its free, add funded business model. Or perhaps they will just be forced to offer better service. Anyways It allows you talk with ...

Had a fun halloween , tried out Champions... uninstalled it cuz its not as good as City of Heroes, and then ran a dungeon with Anton (Great Barrows ) and my little sister. Perfect place to be on Halloween. Here's an update of our game I got a sprite to stand up right and I'm messing with ...

So I finally got this game! Yay! While My Life as a Dark Lord is a direct sequel to My Life as a King , gameplay is completely fresh and unique. Oh yeah, and that bit about playing as the "bad guy." At the beginning of a stage, all you get is a tower with a staircase at the bottom ...
