Posted on November 22, 2014 by SynCaine

Great new video by CCP, kinda adding on to the recent Rooks and Kings video. Both are great due to the player voice recordings. Basically video form of the sandbox peaks I’ve talked about in the past. I also like … Continue reading →

Raph on WoW, WoW players on WoW

Posted on November 21, 2014 by SynCaine

Solid read all around right here. In basically all respects Raph is right, especially at the end with “World of Warcraft effectively made MMOs perfect, and in the process, it killed them.” It’s sad to imagine what the genre could … Continue reading →

Mordheim is coming!

Posted on November 21, 2014 by SynCaine

I am interested in this. Two immediate thoughts; one is that I love the grid-less turn-based system. Assuming its pulled off correctly it should fit Mordheim perfectly. Two, the game looks slow as hell based on the videos, which I’m … Continue reading →

CoC: Dragon stats and analysis

Posted on November 20, 2014 by SynCaine

(More amazing work from Delpez, and just one example of the depth and number of interesting decisions  CoC has. The main comment I have is that more data is needed overall, which we will collect as more wars happen, but … Continue reading →

WoW: Still kinda bitter over those spacegoats

Posted on November 19, 2014 by SynCaine

Random little thing; Stu has produced a table of characters from WoW, styled after the periodic table of elements. Honestly I don’t recognize half the names, but I did get a chuckle out of characters being alive, deceased, or undead. … Continue reading →

Hearthstone: This kiddie pool sure has a lot of leaks

Posted on November 18, 2014 by SynCaine

More observations as I roll my face across the iPad ‘playing’ Hearthstone: Just like MtG (or basically most card games of this type), Hearthstone is a major Pay-4-Power game. Epic and Legendary cards are silly strong, and as soon as … Continue reading →

Trion being Trion: Server rollbacks are technically impossible

Posted on November 17, 2014 by SynCaine

(Inside reader note: The title should be read while thinking back to the time Blizzard told us open-world PvP without instancing was technically impossible and that’s why Wintergrasp was made, likely the same week some 2000 or whatever EVE battle … Continue reading →

Hearthstone: New Blizzard vs Old Blizzard

Posted on November 13, 2014 by SynCaine

TL:DR – Hearthstone is the perfect example of New Blizzard, and the perfect example of why I miss Old Blizzard so much. It’s still Blizzard, so they still have the whole polish thing going. For a great example of this, … Continue reading →
