    Crowfall Interview - ArtCraft Entertainment Talks MMOs, the Industry, and More

    Frankly, I'm surprised (pleasantly!) to see Crowfall mentioned here on Escapist. What is next, Camelot Unchained interview? =)

    Crowfall - Anyone else interested in this?

    12 hours, mission impossible for me. I hope someone will write the summary? So far they had Raph Koster + Gordon Walton Q&A, guests from Shroud of the Avatar who brought a bottle of whiskey (it's already half empty...), some tech/artwork/gameplay demos in the meantime and announced Travian...

    Games you consider 10/10.

    Not sure about numerical values, but I had the most fun with Warhammer Online - and for quite some time. It would easily be 10/10 in "your" system. It is closely followed by World of Warcraft (Vanilla & BC) and Age of Conan, then say, Warcraft 3 & Starcraft close behind.

    Blatant Lies

    My mirror likes me. Also, I slept well. Very well.

    What are you listening to Escapists? (April 2016 Edition)

    Heh, I thought I lost a (cyber, thou!?) friend yesterday, but it took him an hour to return to his senses. I was just silently biting my tongue, giving him the chance which he used in the end. Maybe it's not all lost? Anyway, a little tribute to R.I.P. Black - I had it on repeat throughout...

    Crowfall - Anyone else interested in this?

    This is simply not the game for you (think: EVE Online), commitment will matter a lot and there won't be much, if any, PvE added - this also includes plans for the future. Meantime, first (voxel) destruction tests happened, here is one of couple videos available so far:

    Crowfall - Anyone else interested in this?

    Important detail, the game is in pre-alpha - in other words chars barely learned how to walk; But I guess you know it well. There is couple videos (3 months old thou) on the first page of this, and here's more recent one. Among other things, number of players and especially FPS are higher...

    Life is cruel to us, but we ain't angels too!?

    New Warcraft movie trailer (TV Spot 2)

    I expect classical Blizard - nothing special, but well polished. This is the only thing that might "return" me to WoW, at least for couple hours :)

    The Dark Humor Thread

    Does she count as dark humor? She certainly does in my book:

    What songs/instrumentals, as soon as you hear them, fill you with energy?

    Nothing Else Matters and especially Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - the latter so much that I started cynically using it for washing the dishes, throwing out the garbage and, in general, for anything that I normally like to delay for another hour or another day. It works! =)

    What other entertainment websites do you like?

    Besides a bunch of chess sites (to make it worse, mostly on Russian - so I'll skip the names) I like anything-MMO, or at least related: Massively OP, MMORPG.com, a number of reddits (MMO, MMORPG, Camelot Unchained, Crowfall, Indie Gaming), Quarter to Three, Rock Paper Shotgun - you get the idea.

    Your strongest experiences of nostalgia

    I still remember my first, mid 80s (I was 4,5 or 6 - no way in hell I can remember) and uncle just brought us his old ZX Spectrum 48k. At first me and my bro didn't get what is he doing with cables around our color TV (yes, COLOR TVs were a thing back then in my hometown!). An then it started...

    Crowfall - Anyone else interested in this?

    Speaking of "contradiction" - sorry about the misunderstanding. I actually used different word, or at least in my book "slightly" is much stronger modifier than it seems to be in yours!? I actually went through all your writings twice, that's why I asked. I hoped for something more concrete...
