II admit it: I wasn’t excited to get Starcraft 2. Yes, I pre-ordered it because… I mean, it *is* Starcraft 2. 11 years in the making. 11 years? Wow. I mean, I remember playing networked SC in college, was college that long ago? *checks* Well, shit, I guess it was. But, I was feeling pre-underwhelmed. [...]

Go me. I set out to hit 200/180 or better – and I did, so there’s some geek pride for you. Usually, whenever I get up 18-20, the matchmaker starts putting me with teams that are obviously worse than me (which is saying a lot), or a bunch of leavers – it wants you to [...]

I think it’s interesting that MMOs have their roots in RPGs – perhaps the most solitary form of video game there is (not counting some of those Japanese dating sims….). Sure, I used to watch a friend play the SNES Final Fantasy games for hours (I don’t think I ever had an SNES), and that [...]

OK, so like three months later (than everyone else), I finally finished Mass Effect 2. It took me something like 32 hours of play time, and I played through a (matronly) female infiltrator. Man, the female faces are FUG. Urk. They need more women working on this – or was the point to have everyone [...]

and it’s not even flash-crap tastic! It does use Adobe Air for the basic client interface, which I’ve found to run poorly on my monster of a laptop – especially when a web browser is open (and visible – this is critical apparently) at the same time – but this is really minor. If you [...]

…since I’ve been in the beta for a few weeks (I got in on via one of the random website sign-up competitions thing, I think around the 5th) and beta is winding down today – it may already be over. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take any badass action screenshots to show off , so [...]

Seriously. 1/13 chance of winning (although another site said 1% for some reason), NO SKILL INVOLVED. Entirely luck and chance – which is fine for silly things like flipping a coin, but playing a round of this game (even on my phone, where viciously taunts me) takes a good few minutes (more if you were [...]

So glad they spelled motherfucking R O G U E correctly ;). New site is barely up here. Not much info yet, but it looks like it will include access to opposing side content, and at least 2 new powersets (dual pistols & demon summoning (?)). I’m really curious how much of this second world [...]

Duh. Stardock makes quality games these days. If I had more money & time I might even buy some of them. Sins of a Solar Empire certainly looks like an awesome time sink. The game in question though, Demigod, doesn’t look like my cup of tea. Too much focus on multiplayer, not enough unit types, [...]

Naya Hushblade: I love everything about it – the casting cost, p/t, abilities, and the art. Especially the art. Not only does it convey some good flavor: Naya invader in Esper lands – for the non-Magic geeks, the materials making up the wall behind her give away a little about her location – but it’s [...]
