What? Me? Venting? Noooooo… Fight Night Round 3 is great. My thumbs are actually sore. That’s a testament to how fun this game is. Or to how complex the control scheme is. One or the other. The online experience is really great. EA’s lobby and online menu system is really simple to navigate, and I […]

Ignorance is the new intelligence. Gamers are the new crack addicts. You know, I was wondering why my lips were parched, and I was shaking uncontrollably while playing Fight Night…

William Vitka just passed this across my desk, so to speak. It’s an article he’s written concerning the changes (downfall?) of Star Wars Galaxies. There was some information here I hadn’t heard elsewhere. I though some of you former/current SWG players might be interested.

I’m always game for sending little digital armies to their certain destruction. Speaking of Empire at War, I finally got my copy yesterday. Knowing how busy my week was going to be, when I ordered it from EBGames I selected standard shipping. No point in paying extra to get it right away when I wouldn’t […]

So I mentioned RF Online and that I didn’t like it, and people wanted to know why. Let me start by saying that I was really looking forward to RF Online. I mean, big fucking mechs, right? Who doesn’t love robots? The graphics looked solid, so I was hopeful. Unfortunately RF Online is a very […]

I know it’s Monday, but it’s going to be a short and simple newspost for now. Things are pretty busy around here. We’re doing some work on the website, so if something goes wonky, just sit tight. It should be fixed shortly. I am also making an effort to finish fleshing out all the areas […]

So Full Auto is pretty fun. Not necessarily the “huge next-gen title” the Xbox 360 could really use right now, but entertaining nonetheless. Gotta love that rewind feature. I have some big announcements concerning Digital Overload today. We’ve just launched our user registration system. If you are registered for Digital Overload, it is mandatory that […]

A few days ago I talked a bunch about gold farming and its adverse effect on MMO’s. This caused the google ads on our page to specifically display the gold selling ads in their inventory, so we could effectively block them. We’ve now compiled the list we’re using it and made it available to you. […]

I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine’s day. Or  a Happy “whatever the latest real world holidaytranslated into your MMO of choice is” day. So Full Auto on the 360 is interesting. At face value, it could easily be mistaken for a Burnout title. It looks like it, it feels like it, it smells like […]

So we got hit with a little snowstorm here in New England. New Hampshire didn’t get it as bad as New York, but the snow is still pretty deep. I took the weekend off, as I make myself do on occasion, to avoid burning out. My best friend came up from Brooklyn for a couple […]

By talking extensively about gold farming and such on my front page, we’ve been able to get the Google ads to display a wide variety of different gold farmer/seller advertisements. Thanks to the enormous response from readers keeping an eye on it, I’m generating a giant list of sites to block. I’m also to going […]

Ok, you guys have the right idea. But the google ad below for “Everquest Platinum” is an ad for a PC game (Everquest Platinum is a collection of the first EQ and expansions), not in-game currency. But that’s the right spirit! I’m happy to hear from as many people against gold farming as I am.

Oh hell yes.

Anyone that plays MMO’s is aware of this problem, which has been around since Ultima Online but as gotten progressively worse in recent years. A long-time plat-seller poster an extensive review into the “business” over the past seven years, which gives a unique perspective on how gold-farming works, and how it has become a more […]

Digital Overload is only a month away! We’ve just done a major update to the FAQ to address some of the questions we’ve been getting. The two biggest developments of late concern hotels and computers. First of all, a lot of people were having trouble getting a room, because our official hotels had a 21+ […]

Now I’m not about to start comparing World of Warcraft and Everquest 2 in any remotely serious manner; that’s apples and oranges, people. Goofing off in a comic strip is different, and I actually got the idea when I was listing things I enjoyed about each game over on my journal. Having now played both […]
