2011, We Hardly Knew Ya

Apparently, at the end of the year, it is a common practiceto look back at the previous year and forward to the new year. Not one to buck tradition, unless I feel like it, here is my look back at 2011: Games Highs SWTOR Released: I’m still having a lot Read more…

Six Month Review

Yorengi

If I were to tell you that today, a space based MMO added a small green alien that gives out weapons that ignite and glow a bright color, what would you think I was talking about? If you guess Star Trek Online, you’d be correct. Insane, but correct. Apparently, STO Read more…
