Frankenstein’s MMO
Many people have written posts about their perfect game. I'm not going to try and write up all the features in my perfect game, but I am going to start sewing a few pieces together into my MMO Monster. Tis the season for making horrific creatures after all. As I've...
Hype and Fun and Games
I love thought-provoking talks via Twitter. They make me want to write and they help me put my thoughts in order about things percolating in my mind. Today's brain brew is all about game hype, game expectations, why we love some games but don't love their successors...
Shrinking Pains
Change, oh how we loathe it sometimes. I'm writing this to say farewell to the glory days of SWTOR's endless servers and the concept I had of how my legacies and character concepts would work, and to grumble about it. In the early days of long queues and many servers,...
Gaming is Not A Long-term Commitment
I’ve come to a realization recently that I am an old-fashioned gamer. Not the tasty cocktail or ice-cream sundae kind of Old-Fashioned either, but the stodgy get-these-kids-off-my-lawn kind. I’ve been watching people game-hop and finding myself annoyed at those pesky...
SWTOR Event Goodies
I hope to update this over the next few days to share a few of the goodies from doing the latest Star Wars: The Old Republic's live event. For now, I had to share a picture of my good fortune from yesterday's kick off day. I'm not sure how often these little guys will...
It Is The Little Things That Count
I took advantage of the chance to try out The Secret World MMO during its free weekend event. While I hadn't intended to post anything about my trial, I really don't feel I had enough time to give it a fair chance, I did come away with some general impressions and...
What Else Should I Do When I Can’t Sleep, But Blog?
It has been a while since I've felt like writing. I couldn't sleep and have been chatting about MMO content in Twitter this morning. Twitter is often a good source of blog fodder, since it is hard to hold a long meaningful discussion in bits and pieces, but often...
Non Gaming Related Tribute
I don't have kids and at this stage in life the chances are pretty slim. One thing I do regret is not seeing my husband be a dad. He is pretty cute with my nieces and nephews and tends to be one of those favorite uncles. My parents have both passed away and I'm...
Enough With The Armchair Game Developing
Enough with the armchair quarterbacking and back-seat driving regarding MMO features at launch or even at the early stages of a game. I do it myself, wondering why X feature, which is well known to be a popular one, or Y feature, which That Other Game has aren't in my...
NBI Wrap Up – So Many Shiny New Blogs
I am really impressed by how many people took the leap and decided to start new blogs during this month. Bravo! I'm also impressed with the breadth and quality of the advice posts and encouragement from sponsor sites. I hope those veterans and the new guys like me...
