Being an early adopter is hardly ever easy, and things aren’t different in the field of MMOs. Most MMOs have all kinds of issues when they come out. They are buggy, their interface is hard to use, essential functions are missing and they are never able to handle the amount of people that rush into […]

Those of you who check this place regularly (/hug) might have noticed an odd lack of content during the last week-and-a-bit. Turns out that Christmas somehow snuck  up on me and that I didn’t have any posts prepared for my holidays. Well, I’m back now and your regularyl scheduled content will resume tomorrow. I hope […]

Both Civilization V and Elemental: War of Magic got huges patches the other day. The patch notes for Elemental show a huge amount of changes to actual gameplay, as has been hinted at before by the switch of the game’s lead developer among other things. I didn’t get to try the new, changed game yet […]

When I’m playing games then there’s little that’s more annoying than some boring event that makes me wait instead of allowing me to continue playing the game.

One of the villagers was quite a friendly young […]

For those of you living under a rock or following anything Starcraft related, here’s a little YouTube sensation from about two weeks ago. I think it’s hilarious and I’m quite glad that the internet allows for things like these to exist and spread.

It feels really odd that a World of Warcraft expansion was just released and I’m not playing it. It’s not as if I really wanted to – because if I did I would just buy the damn thing – but this is the first time in six years that there is something major happening in […]

I played a round of Dominion at a friend’s house the other night and stumbled upon something that is quite problematic for game designers – the environment altering effect. That game of Dominion featured the “Thief “card, which all by itself pretty much forbids the use of the silver and gold coins that are usually […]

The other day I got a mail from Curse (Who keep giving me complimentary premium subscriptions to lure me back in. Thanks guys.) prompting me to claim my Rift beta key.  Who am I to say no to participating in an MMO beta? Well it turns out that the key is slightly less useful than […]
