HotS: A new low for Blizzard

Posted on March 23, 2015 by SynCaine

Heroes of the Storm is to League of Legends as Hearthstone is to Magic: The Gathering, and yes, that’s not a good thing. Old Blizzard made games that were easy to get into but hard to master. New Blizzard makes … Continue reading →

Trion bring Trion: Even I don’t care at this point

Posted on March 20, 2015 by SynCaine

Blah blah blah Trion being Trion, blah blah blah. Even when failing Trion is boring me now. Sad times all around.

Shocker, a successful MMO is going to the sub model

Posted on March 19, 2015 by SynCaine

Lineage 1, which I’ve actually played a good amount of and must say the game is very solid (in a very Asian, hyper-grindy way), is opening up a sub-only server in China. In freaking China! Really weird how if a … Continue reading →

To play now or wait for later

As noted before, Cities: Skylines is a great title that I’ve enjoyed a good bit, but having ‘finished’ a fairly major city, I’m now somewhat paralyzed with the game. On the one hand, I want to start a new city … Continue reading →

FFXIV: Playing different roles on one character is brilliant

Posted on March 18, 2015 by SynCaine

Quick note to start with: Playing the relaunch of The Elder Scrolls Online just reinforced how much better FFXIV is at being a thempark MMO. I might still try to get back into ESO at some point, but after spending … Continue reading →

Cities: Skylines has solid city-builder bones

Posted on March 16, 2015 by SynCaine

Mostly agree with what J3W3L wrote about Cities: Skylines. In short, its a very solid city building sim that is more than worth the $30 to grab right now on Steam. A few additions to what was already written. I … Continue reading →

CoC: Supreme Cream! vs Texas Knights

Posted on March 14, 2015 by SynCaine

(Stats and writeup by Delpez) Great war and very nice write-up by Syncaine. Anytime you win by 1 star it’s very satisfying, especially if you have to come from way behind like we did. But firstly, let’s see how the … Continue reading →

CoC: About as good as it gets

Posted on March 13, 2015 by SynCaine

Delpez should have the stats and writeup soon, but I wanted to jump ahead and post this: In a 110-109 war, that we were down by ten stars or more for much of it, not only were our final five … Continue reading →

Pathfinder Online: It’s 2003 EVE!

Posted on March 12, 2015 by SynCaine

Raise your hand if you knew Pathfinder Online was already playable? Yea, me neither. But it is, and my friend Rynnik hooked me up with a buddy key to take a look. To use his words, Pathfinder right now is … Continue reading →
