The Niche is Real

Posted on January 4, 2013 by SynCaine

Massively has linked to a video about 38 Studios. It’s worth watching. In the comments section, there is a link to an article about the entire thing. I’m pretty sure I’ve read it before, and perhaps even linked it here, … Continue reading →

What 2012 was, and what 2013 will be

Posted on December 26, 2012 by SynCaine

The good for me in 2012 was more of the same (EVE, LoL), while the bad was highlighted by disappointment (GW2) and delay (DF:UW). The MMO genre as a whole continued to struggle with its identity, from massive failures like … Continue reading →

Still here

Posted on December 24, 2012 by SynCaine

Fear not, I’m still here. The DF NDA is killing me, lot of items to blog about, both good and bad. Steam sale is going on, but so far nothing amazing has come up.

Darkfall: Unholy Wars – Voicing the Manifested Vision in White Shades

Posted on December 20, 2012 by SynCaine

Darkfall is under NDA right now, so while I’m writing about it, I can’t post details until the NDA is down. Whenever that happens (current date I have is Dec 27th) expect either a long post, or a bunch all in … Continue reading →

Darkfall Hobbit

Posted on December 17, 2012 by SynCaine

Waiting for the Darkfall beta to start is like watching The Hobbit; way too long, way too much focus put on the stupid filler you forget the moment it’s over, and everyone already knows the ending so just get to … Continue reading →

Darkfall: Unholy War pre-order is here

Posted on December 14, 2012 by SynCaine

Pre-order Darkfall: Unholy Wars here. Sadly no referral program yet. Not sure how I’m going to fuel up the Ferrari without one, so hopefully AV gets on that ‘soon’. The bank account that DF1 funded is running dangerously close to … Continue reading →

Darkfall: Beta blues

Posted on December 12, 2012 by SynCaine

Darkfall Delay; part 72,343. First off, massive points for announcing the delay minutes before you are set to go live. There is trolling, and then there is AV. Just next level stuff that gets forumfall to exactly where it needs … Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2012 by SynCaine

Kappa Sigma Turbine

Posted on December 5, 2012 by SynCaine

Forumfall loves to bitch about Aventurine. It’s basically a tradition at this point, and it’s pretty well deserved considering DF2010 is (maybe) coming out 12/12/12. Like how hard would it have been for someone from AV to just provide a … Continue reading →

Darkfall has been greenlit

Posted on November 30, 2012 by SynCaine

Winning. (And now the obligatory “How will AV screw this up” trolling/truth) Also I hope the process to get the game on Steam for purchase is not completed by 12/12/12, because the queues could be pretty lengthy. Far better to … Continue reading →
