    I, Jared Rea, Hereby Challenge Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson

    If you want to step to "50 cent", you're gonna have to thrown down some loot. The man doesn't get out of bed for less than a G. I suggest the amount of $10,000 and we'll hold and film the competition right here at the Themis office - Durham, NC.

    Warhammer Online Introduces Dynamic Player Statues

    Yes, that's exactly what M59 did. They would actually take a snap shop of your exact character model including armor and weapons you had equipped at the time. It was rather novel concept and I always had a great amount of reverence in the presence of these statues knowing the amount of time and...

    Warhammer Online Introduces Dynamic Player Statues

    I love it every time a MMO comes out with a feature and labels it as a "new" idea. Meridian 59, the first 3D graphical MMO, came out in 1996 with features such as: guild halls, guild hall raids, personal mailboxes, personal storage vaults, personal bank, guild storage boxes (guild bank)...

    Twitter Jealousy (Twittealousy?)

    Just FYI if you meet ckeymel in real life, she's a nice girl but she's got this crazy thing over ponies. Whatever you do, NEVER ever bad mouth my little pony. Trust me on this. Also, she's a bit self-conscious about her feet smelling like cabbage. Just look at her latest twitter post!

    PvP focused MMORPG Recommendations?

    It's been a while since I've played a GREAT PvP focused MMO and I think I'm ready to jump back in. I'm an adrenaline junkie and this is the cheapest way for me to get a fix from my computer chair. The problem is I've looked and there doesn't seem to be anything new or on the horizon. I've...

    The Escapist Site Update: Forum Titles and Private Messages

    Howdy Folks, I'm the developer who wrote the Profile Module. I've looked into some of the reports here and it does seem there was a slight problem creating new profiles. Sometimes it's not easy being a programmer when things explode from a left out apostrophe. That doesn't happen when writing...

    AGDC 2007: Inside Garriott's Playground

    Yes indeed, what an awesome event! I'm envious of the entire experience except the part where the alien being pops out of the cloud of smoke. I'm pretty sure I would have ran away screaming like a little girl... Russ, I'm buying you a beer.

    Escapist Ads Eating My Computer

    Flash based ads do tend to use a bit more computer horse power then their standard image counterparts. This is amplified by running multiple tabs open, so I'd try to keep it to 2-3. There are tips and techniques, you can find by doing a quick search on Google, to reduce the amount of memory...
