The greatest voice acting ever

Posted on December 5, 2011 by SynCaine

Warning: Super-minor Skyrim spoiler included. It’s one isolated event unrelated to anything else in the game, and will spoil only this one location/encounter for you, but it’s still technically a spoiler. I was on a quest for the mages guild, … Continue reading →

EA is already trying to compete with me in the social ‘gaming’ space

Posted on December 2, 2011 by SynCaine

Not long after my announcement to purchase Zynga, EA jumps into the “if you blink you’ll miss the end” social ‘gaming’ space. Damn them! Picking up such a hot commodity too. That company just went from 400k to 1.3m players. … Continue reading →

The real SW:TOR killer

Posted on November 22, 2011 by SynCaine

First, how can SW:TOR be a WoW-killer when Cata already did the job? We should call it WoW-finisher instead, right? Sucks for Bioware that Blizzard beat them to the punch on that one. Second, and far more important, it sucks … Continue reading →
