Posted on December 29, 2011 by SynCaine

SW:TOR – Unreal

Posted on December 24, 2011 by SynCaine

This can’t be real life right? First they LotRO us with “number of character created” (how many people are sitting on 8 character to reserve Hannn Solololo?), Xfire us with “hours played” (I wonder if people play a game more … Continue reading →

LoL: Human stupidity proudly on display

Posted on December 22, 2011 by SynCaine

I’ve not had a LoL post in a whole because my time with the game is pretty minimal of late (EVE+Skyrim=GG), but this thread about the Tribunal and people being banned is pure gold. What always amazes me is just … Continue reading →

Posted on December 22, 2011 by SynCaine

While one of my pilots trains to fly an Orca, I’ve been checking contract listing for the ship daily in the hopes of catching a deal. Such a deal came yesterday, as someone had listed a rigged Orca for 300m … Continue reading →

SW:TOR – How is the end-game?

Posted on December 20, 2011 by SynCaine

Random thought: What if the end-game in SW:TOR is awesome? Most people right now are talking about the leveling experience in SW. The pace, the voice, the story, the mechanics, etc. And rightfully so in many ways. Pre-release, almost all … Continue reading →

Life after the AAA MMO

Posted on December 19, 2011 by SynCaine

Last week I wrote about SW:TOR being a bad business deal (something I also stated more than a year go). Today I want to continue that line of thought, focusing on why I want current-day AAA MMOs to go the … Continue reading →

Why SW:TOR is a big bad deal

Posted on December 16, 2011 by SynCaine

Note: If you read blogs in absolutes, this post is not going to work for you. The discussion around SW costing 300m or not, whether selling 4m box copies puts it in the black, or why anyone should care, is … Continue reading →
