ArcheAge: The next big… something

Posted on July 30, 2014 by SynCaine

Thoughts on ArcheAge as my “desperate for anything half-decent at this point” eyes glance over at it and its upcoming release: I still don’t get what a ‘sandpark’ is, in terms of what you are trying to accomplish. I mean … Continue reading →

EVE: Space Famous

Posted on April 21, 2014 by SynCaine

The latest EVE Blog Banter topic is about “space famous” individuals and everyone’s thoughts about them. Jester has his entry here. The topic reminded me that I had previously talked about the importance of such players, here in more general … Continue reading →

Darkfall: Unholy Wars – End of beta and the plan going forward

Posted on April 15, 2013 by SynCaine

Originally I was going to chronicle the DF:UW beta from day one to close, but a lot of what I had down no longer applies, and after re-reading it, it was honestly not that interesting. Instead, I’ll just type up … Continue reading →

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: 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 →

Pre-Darkfall filler

Posted on December 3, 2012 by SynCaine

With the (first?) delay of Darkfall 2, I’ve had some unexpected free time in terms of gaming, and I’ve tried to fill the time with a few different titles. Perhaps the “I’d rather be playing DF2” effect is kicking in, … Continue reading →

MMOs: It’s a hobby

Posted on November 1, 2012 by SynCaine

My previous post sparked some good discussion in the comments, and requires a follow-up post. For additional background, see Victor’s post. I think what I failed to clarify is perhaps how I expect an MMO player to play, both as … Continue reading →

Xcom Ironman is like playing Darkfall, minus the NPC aliens

Posted on October 22, 2012 by SynCaine

I’m a little late in jumping on the Xcom bandwagon, but its every bit as good as you likely have heard. I went straight into Classic/Ironman, and I’m glad I did. So far (game 11), I’ve not survived longer than … Continue reading →

The good times will return

Posted on October 18, 2012 by SynCaine

As we draw closer to the release of DF:UW (which, considering AV just made DF1 free, indicates it might actually happen on Nov 20th?), the launch brings up an interesting question that has often been alluded to on blogs and … Continue reading →

DF:UW – Inquisition and you

Posted on October 15, 2012 by SynCaine

As previously mentioned, Inquisition will be going all-in on Darkfall: Unholy Wars come Nov 20th, which is rapidly approaching. So rapidly, in fact, that AV should have released more info about it, but hopefully this is just another case of … Continue reading →
