(This is jsut a repost from my old blog, as I try to save them before they completely disappear.)

You know, I love posts like these on any forum honestly. Some lame ass get's all in a tizzy about their personal belief or something, and they start some informal poll (don't get me started on people who claim tos tart an official post in the name of the developers).

Anyways, these people start this post, then you get to read inside. Please cast your vote, but don't say...

Thoughts on Immersion

Posted 05-24-2010 at 09:26 AM by Silverspar

(This is a repost from my old blog. Saving the good stuff before it disappears.)

This is an odd word to use. You often to see faux roleplayers use this to describe their gaming experience, and not really understand how wrongly they are using it. They try to use it to describe how they want to personally feel they are in the experience. The more I think about it the more I wonder what crack some people are smoking. That level of immersion, frankly, is just impossible without doing...

OMG, You Destroyed my Childhood <insert whoever made re-adaptation>

Ha, tricked you guys. Bet you thought I was going to rant and rave about the simple minded fact that Might in Champions Online is so ludicrously Overpowered that practically everyone is re-rolling or retconning their characters into Might left and right, that to be anything short of the obvious god-mode that is Might now is pretty much silly. Tricked you, because this little rant isn't about that, it's about something actually a little less obvious and happened a few weeks before the actual travesty...

Gaming Economies and Their Fragility

Posted 05-19-2010 at 09:28 PM by Silverspar

As many of you that read this should already know, I've been around in the MMO gaming world for quite a while. I can remember the day that Richard Garriot considered eBay a good thing for MMO gaming in general and the crapstorm and Pandora's Box that was opened and can never be closed again, and I remember when 1,000,000 gold in UO was worth $25+ on the open market. That's all changed and I dunno if I can say if it's good or bad anymore.

UO gold was expensive because it was hard to...

You Only Need Look in a Mirror

Posted 05-17-2010 at 11:11 PM by Silverspar

You know, it really is a sad state of how the MMO genre has gone. What's even funnier is some out there think they understand it. They usually rant, rave and kick and scream and many of them even try to pretend they were always for one or other thing. One in particular is always this way, though she always claims otherwise, though anyone can go and read any of her posts at regular intervals on any forum.

No, the point of today's title header is fairly simple. These kickers and screamers,...
