The guys from d20Radio have gone into the business of making games. Their first one, Edition Wars, is up on Kickstarter now. My understanding of the game is that you play rival GM’s competing for a group of gamers to come play your game. It sounds like a fun concept. Read more…
I have kind of a love/hate relationship with Star Trek Online. It’s Star Trek so that naturally appeals to me. But it’s never really live up to it’s potential as a game. But today is it’s second anniversary, so I’ll give it some laurels for lasting this Read more…
I reached level 50 with my smuggler on Monday. That’s 49 days since launch, and just under 7 days of /played time (my Jedi Knight alt has 2days and my two imperial characters have about 12hrs between them). Bioware said each class has about 200hrs of story, which isn’t far Read more…
I recently read an article on Massively that discussed an interview with one of the STO Devs, Al Rivera. In it, the Dev reveals some details about what was going on when STO had essentially no new content being released last year. I’m glad the articles author, Terilynn, was the Read more…

It has been almost a month since SWTOR launched (well EGA anyways) so I thought I would update my thoughts on the game so far. Companions The companions are a great addition to gaming. For so long, you would go into a dangerous situation alone and take on scores of Read more…
I’ve never been a huge fan of purple. Nothing against it, just wasn’t my favorite color. Unlike pink, which I detest. Until Attack of the Clones came out. Now, we’ll avoid talking about the prequels except to say that Mace Windu’s purple lightsaber just looked damn cool. I don’t really Read more…
I recently finished chapter 1 in SWTOR with my smuggler character. One of the games features at this point is the unlocking of the Legacy system. There isn’t much to it right now, aside from earning xp towards legacy levels (that don’t mean anything yet) and the ability to have Read more…
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…
