I’m always amused, on MMO forums in particular, when upset players start tossing around threats of petitions and lawsuits, as if they haven’t thought at all about how ridiculous they would sound if they ever had to actually present their cases in court. “I’m mad Blizzard because my WoW server was down today, and I […]
Wow. I am genuinely and pleasantly surprised at how good this game is. It’s almost like I’m not even playing the same game that I was during the stress test. I know there have been some minor issues with the early access start this afternoon, I myself am one of those who are currently unable […]
Every year we try to run a little survey so that we can get a better idea of the reader demographic. It helps us with advertising, among other things, which helps run the website. So if you wouldn’t mind taking five minutes and answering some questions for us, it would be greatly appreciated!
Well, I have my Age of Conan early access client all downloaded and patched, and my hard drive defragged after that massive install. I’m all good to go for the early launch tomorrow. My experience with the stress test was less than perfect, but in the end I think I feel the good outweighed the […]
I was on vacation, so I neglected to announce that Episode 2 of the animated series went live at the beginning of the month. We’d received some reports that the audio track was not properly syncing with the video for some people. I’m told that as of last week this glitch was identified and fixed. […]
Well, I’m back. Got home from Florida a few hours ago. I meant to make a news post before I left, but sort of got wrapped up in some stuff. And with that, my vacation is officially over and I’m all out of pre-drawn comic strips. It’s back to work now! I think it’s safe […]
So now that GTA4 is old news, it’s time to look to the future, to what great new games are coming out tomorrow. Aside from the obvious titles, like Metal Gear Solid 4, and to a lesser extent, Age of Conan (I’ll talk about that in a moment), there’s one title that has caught my […]
Before GTA4 dropped, my gaming time was being pretty heavily occupied by the Metal Gear Online beta test for a few days. It turned out to be a pretty enjoyable online mode, and I think it will be a great (and much needed) addition to the PS3. The biggest hurdle I found with the game […]
GameDay went pretty well. Unfortunately my friends list filled back up a few hours after I emptied it, so I apologize to those who couldn’t send an friend request. Around 7pm, and periodically thereafter, I started randomly inviting people to join, and we played for a little over three hours. We played all sorts of […]
I was going to type up a whole thing, about GTA4, but then I’d be typing and not playing and… fuck that. Besides, what am I going to say that you haven’t already read in every review out there. Nah, I’ll talk about it eventually, but now playing is more important. Besides, I’m on vacation. […]
So one more day (for those of us that aren’t dirty, dirty pirates). I’m sure you’ve been seeing the review scores popping up over the weekend, perfect 10s left and right. Without a doubt GTA4 is going to be one of the biggest games this year. I’m really interested to see what is really lying […]
So I’ve been getting a lot of replies regarding my previous post and I wanted to make a few clarifications: While the rep I spoke with did mention the whole “becoming a part of them” part, I have zero interest in that. I’m more than happy with what I do for a living and quite […]
I don’t post here too often so for those who don’t know who I am, I’m the one Tim refers to as his server guy. I know CAD has a very diversified fan base and I’m hoping I can get some advice or stories from some of you. Long story short, me and my wife […]
Whyyyy must you patch so slowly? Update 1: This is the most convoluted online game/beta registration process I have ever seen. I haven’t even seen the game yet and I’ve had to create no less than three separate identifications with unique logins and passwords. Update 2: Finally. It’s actually not bad. Not a completely intuitive […]
