Reader Kinolyen pointed out, correctly, that running Minmatar missions wouldn’t do much to improve my standings with Amarr and Caldari, who hate me. Since my standings for both are below -2.0, I can’t get ANY missions for either faction, and both are just on the verge of sending ...

As much as I like picking up Caldari and Amarr dogtags from my kills and selling them for lots of ISK to pilots who pretend loyalty to those violent races, it’s getting to the point where I can hardly warp into Amarr or Caldari space without warnings to move off or be shot down. Since I ...

The weekend wasn’t ALL EVE Online, though it could have been. That game is just SO addictive, though, that I have to consciously NOT log in, find something else to do.
Thankfully, I had Torchlight backing me up.
My Torchlight Vanquisher is about 4/5 of the way through the main ...

When I created my alt EVE character, Etha Preve, as part of CCP’s “Power of 2″ promotion (have a second account for cheap for six months), I didn’t have any specific plans for her. But I’d always wanted a good hauler to help with the mining and just moving stuff ...

The mega-EVE alliance Curatores Veritatis Alliance (CVA), one of the alliances that keep the nullsec Providence region mostly safe and pirate free, was dissolved today. CVA leaders are calling it an account hacking and have vowed to either get CCP to roll the hack back or to form a new ...

Tactical, party-based RPGs in a browser? For free? Yeah, it exists. For all that it is a tie-in to Bioware’s forthcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins, EA 2D’s Dragon Age Journeys is not only an introduction to the lore and characters of that game, but an excellent RPG in its own ...

I loved the IDEA of a modern, casual
update to the classic Infocom adventure game, Zork. The
devious puzzles, the humor, the sense that something wondrous (or at least hilarious) was right around the corner, but mostly the puzzles. We’d get ...

Wow, it’s been a week since I posted? Really?
It’s been a REALLY BUSY week, though. And having to leave really early in the morning for the bus and come back really late because of the bus isn’t helping — but I DO get to read every morning and night. I’m ...

The latest update to Wizard101 hits the servers Friday, and it has all the things we saw on the test server, and more! (Well, and less — the Wishing Well will not be coming to Wizard City after all).

This Devoter would be the last sight I saw before I was blown out of space by an unstoppable force. That’s my Myrmidon in the background. It would be a twisted pile of tritanium before the night was through.
I need to assure you that the Devoter is, as far as I know, fine. So relax! ...

After reading Pete of Dragonchasers go on and on about the wonderfulness of Dragon Age: Origins, I couldn’t let pass the opportunity to make my own character in the recently-released character creator and get some sort of feel for the game.
The character creator not only asks you to ...

We last left our intrepid duo of Marissa, 34 Myth wizard, and Allison, 36 Balance wizard, exhausted from having herded half a hundred howling cats in Katzenstein’s Laboratory. Needing a rest before pursuing the evil Meowiarty up the numberless lifts and staircases of the Big Ben clock ...

A moderately multiplayer FPS by a single man? What an amazing feat, and when promised some of the best things, such as human-like AI and an almost dream-like virtual world … one can get very excited over a game and follow it for a year or two. ...

There’s an item in EVE Online, dropped commonly by rats in missions, that can be reprocessed with minimal skills and its component minerals sold for twice the cost of that item on the market. In fact, you can buy unlimited quantities of that item ON the market, reprocess it, and ...

I’ve been playing a bit of Earth Eternal since it went into open-closed beta yesterday. Since I think we’re still unable to actually show the game, here’s a picture of the upcoming stop motion/cgi film, Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox . Now, I don’t KNOW that ...
