I dislike personalising disagreements. Sometimes though, the behaviour is so outrageous that avoiding that isn’t an option. This is one of those times. There is a gentleman, a maker of games, who has been quite unpleasant to some fellow bloggers I’m somewhat fond of. If you’ve spent 5 minutes in the MMOverse, then you’ll know who it is I mean. He is an expert is personalising arguments, so it is hard to not do so in return. My life has […]

In the last few days I’ve been revisiting Fallen Earth. I tried the trial for a couple of days a few months ago, but didn’t really get into it. Having scored a free month from Massively, I’ve come back to give it another try, and I’m finding it more engaging than before. Maybe I’m just in more receptive mood, or it could be something to do with all the patches that have been applied in the meantime. I’m having fun. […] Warhammer Alliance has been serving the needs of the Warhammer Online community pretty much since the game was announced. In an astounding move today, Games Workshop has filed a lawsuit against Warhammer Alliance demanding it hand the site over to GW, and pay damages. Curiously they’re also insisting on a trial by jury, in the US state of Maryland, which is likely to be inconvenient for the defendants, and makes the whole business much more expensive. There are some obvious […] I will get around to continuing my Mortal Online exploration. I’ve still not hit the play button, so as to see it with fresh eyes. I’ve been distracted by the small matter of the UK General Election. Voting is today, and I shall be spending tonight glued to Mr David Dimbleby and his gang on the BBC, as the results come in. In preparation I have a bag full of comfort food, as I doubt it is going to be […] Mortal Online is a sandbox-style skill-based MMO developed by Swedish developers Star Vault. With the client available for download from their website at the moment, I thought I’d take a bit of a peek. I’ve not really been following it, so it’ll be a voyage of adventure. As ever, this is still open beta, and things are subject to change. Originally due to launch last year, Mortal Online has been delayed several times with its last promised release date March […] I’ve been suffering from a lack of strategy gaming, so I picked up UFO:Extraterrestrials on Steam this morning. I love the old XCOM games, and the Aftermath series was also passable, so I figured I’d give this more recent remake a try. This was a mistake. It started with some of the worst voice-acting I have ever sat through: And it carried on from there, badly lacking polish of any sort. And this was UFO:Extraterrestrials GOLD, the improved version. […] Time had a post yesterday with the title “Has Noah’s Ark Been Discovered in Turkey?“. I hate titles like that, as they always make me want to just say “No, it probably hasn’t.” While I suspect history is far more interesting than we know, I’m not so up for evidence that has been rustled up with folks with the agenda of proving that our planet is less than ten thousand years old. I believe many wonderful things, and hope many […] |
