    The Rainy Season

    Classy Erin is SEXAY! More of that, please! I just play GW2, screw everything else. Well, until Heart of the Swarm finally comes out. FOR THE SWARM! 8E

    How Massive Multiplayer Should Work

    THIS is why GW2 will revolutionize the industry: Not the combat, the cinematics, the on-and-off gameplay; The mechanics of letting players play together. I played quite a few MMOs in my time, MUDs too, and none of them got this right. Guild Wars 2 got it right.

    One, Two, Lots

    If Erin doesn't absolutely WRECK this possible-rapist's face, limbs, and car, I won't be responsible for my reaction.

    Steam Sales Double [Again] in 2011

    Three pages of comments, and nobody's made this joke? 1st Corollary to Moore's Law: Steam sales will double every year until Origin or similar competitor gets a clue.

    Stolen Pixels #220: Guilt Wars 2

    Yeah, having played TR way back when, I do worry about "Dynamic Event Burnout." Then again, part of TR's problem was that you couldn't invest in skills without exploring every nook and cranny of the world, while some beasty was trying its best to bash your head in. Also, since the baddies took...

    Poll: What turns you off about MMOs?

    How many people here are excited about GW2 theoretically "fixing" these common MMO problems, (except for the PC-exclusiveness?) I dunno, I'm pretty hyped. (And I think the Asura are adorable.)

    Your Ultimate Attack

    I would attack their mind. Everyone that my opponent has ever hurt, physically, emotionally, or financially, to the 7th remove, shall be shown in a sort of vision. My opponent is forced to feel their victims' collective pain, in sanity-cracking detail, all at the same time. Posted with...

    Poll: What turns you off about MMOs?

    What turns me off about MMOs is the lack of character choices, whether it's at chargen, to how I want to play MY WAY, and endgame choices of activities. Let's assume that everything works perfectly, as designed: No bugs, no lag, no griefers. After playing or skipping the tutorial, what can my...

    The Playground Model

    The gathering in pre-Burning Crusade WoW made it so that crafting was fun and easy. If you didn't want to go out and get it yourself, you could almost always find it for mildly-reasonable rates on the Auction House, (your milage may vary by server/faction.) Then they screwed it up, so I moved on...

    Activation Bomb

    If Activision-Blizzard eats up Cryptic, can we call them "ABC?" XD

    Zero Punctuation: Washington DC

    Yeah, me too! I was waiting for it, but it never happened! I suppose they thought they filled their Fallout 3 quota already, and didn't want to go over. :(

    Unskippable: Borderlands

    Props for linking Brutal Legend and Borderlands, IrishBerserker. *Thumbs-up.* I also don't watch Unskippable, but since they're roasting a game I bought, I thought I'd give it a look. I LOL'd at least five times, especially loudly at the ones making fun of Brick.

    Stolen Pixels #138: On the Borderbus

    Yeah, after messing around with the Sniper tree, I respecced into Bloodwing, and I never looked back. I always use Shockwing + Aerial Impact to stun and shock beefier/shielded enemies so I can set up a headshot, and when it's done killing the handful of weaker enemies that are behind cover or...

    Edge or Edgy: The Clash of Two Game Makers - Update

    Pizza Hut just revealed a pizza they're calling "The Edge." Come on, Langdell. TRY to take on Pizza Hut. I ****ing DARE you. PS: Just because it's legal doesn't make Langdell any less of a jerk.

    EDGE of Asshattery

    Timmy is the new Jack Thompson. I hope he gets perma-banned from the industry for such Lawful Evil (lots more and stronger profanity, etc, etc).
