WAR's December Plans
The WAR newsletter arrived yesterday and with it a glimpse of what is in store for the month of December. With the recent layoff's and the holiday season, I was not expecting too much.  It does look like it will be a good month for WAR though. There are 4 primary items of interest with ...

Werit at WAR: Shaman
In previous episodes of Werit at WAR, I have played only Order characters.  I think it is time to give Destruction some attention.  So this week I bring to you Werit the Shaman on Iron Rock.  He is Rank 15, likes long walks on the beach and fungus.  Watch the video after ...

Well played Aion, well played
Even though I don't play Aion anymore , I like to keep up with what's going on in the game.  Recently they had a new patch, 1.5.1, which was interesting. CAPTCHA's in game, really Aion?  Then today they released a new video of Aion's future.  I must say, it is nothing short of ...

STO's Next Faction
Star Trek Online is starting out with two factions, the Federation and the Klingon's. Even though the game hasn't even launched yet, I think it is a safe bet that they will add a third faction eventually.  Star Trek has a number of interesting possibilities, so which will it be?  ...

Lessons Learned
Some of you may have noticed that last week I had an Adsense ad in the sidebar.  One of the reasons for this site is as a vehicle to try new stuff.  Whether it is a new game or a web technology like Adsense , there is plenty to learn.  While the Adsense is now removed, I did ...

Torchlight Contests
Runic Games, the creator of the action RPG Torchlight , is holding a fan art content.  The winner gets a Penny Arcade strip , signed by the dev team. One interesting piece is that they mentioned you can participate without any artistic talent (like me!).  A fan site is also holding a ...

Friday Temptations
You didn't really want to work today, did you?  It's been a busy week for me and not in a fun way.  Luckily some other folks picked up the slack and gave me plenty to read.  Now I pass them on to you, so that this day can go a bit faster. Back to the Dark Age is an ...

What's so civil about Galactic Civil War anyway
One of the major things missing from Star Wars: galaxies has been any kind of meaningful galactic Civil War.  Sure, you could fight those evil rebels (weren't they the bad guys?) but it was largely inconsequential. All that is about to change, because the next update is all about the GCW.  ...

Open the Gates
When the Land of the Dead was released, it required many more resources in order to open it to your realm.  The only practical way to do it was to flip two zones.  Not too long ago, they lowered the amounts so turn-ins were more meaningful.  Now, in combination with the frequency ...

Pandemic
Yesterday, the gaming world received some sad news.  Pandemic Studios was shut down as a part of the sweeping EA cuts.  They were one of my favorite game studios.  Let's take a look back at some of their awesome games. Star Wars: Battlefront.   You had a choice of over ...

Gratuitous Space Battles hits Steam
Gratuitous Space Battles is a game where you design your ships, deploy them and watch the carnage unfold.  There is really nothing else like it on the market.  I have always enjoyed the space battles in Star Wars, Star Trek and others.  GSB takes that aspect and builds a game ...

Missing armor in Dragon Age?
A few days ago, I started up Dragon Age only to find that my character was walking around in his underwear.  While there are certain situation where this is acceptable, fight the darkspawn is not one of them.  It seems he was missing his armor.  In particular, this armor was from ...

Werit at WAR: Bright Wizard
Dragon Age wasn't the only game I played over the weekend.  I was in a PvP mood so I spent some time in WAR.  Rather than playing my normal characters, I had an urge to throw some fire around.  So I created a Bright Wizard. The last time I played a Bright Wizard was during ...

Classy
Just because it's the apocalypse doesn't mean you have to wear those instruments of death and destruction.  Fallen Earth announced a new bonus when you purchase the game which is sure to get you looks around the canyon. When you purchase the game directly from Icarus (you know, the ...

Dragon Age + The Old Republic
Most of my game time has been consumed by Dragon Age lately .  It is rather addicting.  As I play, I can't help but think what Dragon Age tells us about Bioware's upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.  I think it is safe to say that Dragon Age and Mass Effect have been ...

Envy
Recently, I have come down with a case of MMO envy.  I had hoped yesterday's WAR Producer's Letter would have alleviated it but it did not.  In fact, the letter did not do much of anything except tell us what we already knew. It is widely known that EA is cutting many jobs, Mythic ...

Last night's PTS event
Last night, there was an event on WAR's PTS to test out the new shortened city siege.  I, as usual, strolled in later than I had hoped.  I did get a chance to fight for close to an hour though.  For a look at the video and my impressions, read on. The contested stage now ...
