Dissecting New MMO Content
Another recent topic on Twitter has been hopes from Star Wars The Old Republic's players for content from the game in 2014. It will be a year of many new game releases with new stories and worlds to tempt away the players of existing MMOs. Many of us hope this will...
Is It Me? Or Is It Game Design?
I've been reading a few blog posts and articles lately about how the MMO population has started to age. I've read nostalgic posts about how great MMOs used to be and how there used to be that One Game to rule them all and now there isn't anymore. I've decided that it...
My Current SWTOR Character Customizations
This started with a friend asking me for a list of what one of my characters was wearing. While I was grabbing that, I started screen shotting all of my current characters because I really like the way most of them look right now. Gone are the days of being stuck with...
NBI Poetry Slam
MMO Gypsy Syl has launched a challenge this month for we geeky bloggers to wax poetic. She did ask... I admit, I really enjoy filk music. I like adding my own words to the catchy tune of someone else's music. What's the fun of writing bad poetry if you can't ruin...

Today I broke down and bought the Troublemaker Duster for my Smuggler in SWTOR. I had been eyeing it for a while and the price finally came down from the "hell no!" range into the "okay, this is excessive for vanity but I'll get it anyway" price range. I've been...
When Games Go Free To Play, How Do Existing Subscribers Feel?
I have been thinking about how different I feel as a subscriber of two games that have both gone to a Free to Play model after their initial releases as subscription games. The way I feel as a customer is very different between Star Wars: The Old Republic and Rift. In...
Is This Thing On?
Oh hey there. Look at what I found in my browser favorites list, the link to my blog dashboard. I have been highly unmotivated to spend time on this thing lately haven't I? With summer and way too many games on my docket, I don't see that changing much. But I took a...
A Few Defiance Tips From A Newbie
I made time today to play Defiance so I could do the episode quest line before the premier. It was a fun chain of quests, I certainly recommend it. Here are a few of my lessons learned. Tactics matter: If you are grouped, use flanking and draw fire off each other,...
