I have been playing video games since the very first ones. I played the very first FPS, Wolfenstein 3D. I was among the first players to experience FPS PVP when we installed Doom on a dozen or so computers in the college computer lab. I played UO, EQ, Unreal tournament, CS, and almost every...

So I have been stubbornly avoiding Windows 10. Everything has worked fine on 7 so far and I love the OS. So I have had no real need to upgrade to 10. Lately though, I have hit more and more roadblocks. For instance, many new Oculus games require 10 to run. So as a result I have started...

E3 has been a good one this year. There have been quite a few exciting updates and announcements. The one that sticks out the most for me though, is Cyberpunk 2077. I really enjoy the cyberpunk world. I grew up with it. The world was just so amazing. It never really stuck around though as...

So I was roaming around the interwebs today and I stumbled across some information that I hadn't even dreamed could happen. APB Reloaded has a new owner and they really want to finally realize the dream of what this game could have been. Needless to say, I'm downloading it again now. For...

So I ran into a couple screen shots. Some poor Avocado got their hand caught in the cookie jar. It started with a Reddit post (which has since been taken down). The aforementioned Evocatti shared a couple screenshots which promptly got posted. Thankfully, since these were the product of...

(I apologize in advance for the long ass rant) At the moment, and for the last couple years, there has been a MMO drought. I have enjoyed some mmos in the short term, but none have really stuck with me. The ones that have lasted longer than a few weeks only held because there was nothing...

So let me start by saying that I tend to be an antisocial. To me it's not a function of antisocial disorder (although it very well might be). Rather in my head, it is a lack of tolerance for society. In the real world I see a complete lack of politeness, respect, and courtesy. People block...

1996 was an absolutely amazing year. I had just graduated college. I went to the olympic games in Atlanta. The Nintendo 64 was released. Big Blue beat Kasparov in a chess match. The Mars Pathfinder was launched. The internet was really starting to become a thing (1M to 10M sites in that...

That's it. That's all we got. It's something though. One of my favorite genres of all time, has always been cyberpunk. For me, it started with the first time I saw Bladerunner. Then there was the book Neuromancer and shortly after, the shadowrun books and Snow Crash. I was a bit late to...

I have been looking around for a MMO VR experience for a while now. VR is amazing but unfortunately, it hasn't really taken off yet. It's part price tag and part "how good could it be". The combination of which puts it really far back on everyone's to buy list. I couldn't help myself though...

So lately, I have been seeing more and more people voicing their dissatisfaction with SC. They have been getting on 3.0 test servers and what they are finding is leading them either flaming CIG, quit, or both. I have been following the 3.0 release closely. I haven't played it yet despite...

I have been cruising around the SC forums for a couple years now. It seems that with every turn, CIG takes a huge hit. Everything is the end of the world to someone and every choice just plain ruins the game. At least that's what it looks like. Don't get me wrong, some decisions are shit bag...

So I finally got around to watching the Anvil ATV. According to them, the Carrack is now approximately 30m longer. That puts it in the range of the Polaris (around 153m compared to the 155m of the polaris). It also is supposed to have some customization. You will be able to change the...

When I was a kid, I loved to go to the arcades. The sounds, the lights, the games, the secret high score fights with random players you never met, arcades are amazing. Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted one. So lets skip a couple decades and bring the timeline to three months ago. I saw...

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I felt something that everyone else has already been though. For me, the best part of the 3.0 demo was the impression of tangibility that it left. In most games, items are and feel like data. If you kill something, a loot box shows up and you click "loot all"...

No matter how I look at it, I just can't imagine this game feeling complete without a robust base building element. I know they have talked about building some structures. They've even talked about player owned asteroids, but I want to see more. I want to see more than just a glorified...

Disclaimer: I am currently sober so I apologize if this makes no sense. So I hit the internet the other day because I was curious about the planet scale. Along the way, I ran across an interview that sent me flying in a completely different direction. That interview was this one [HERE]...

I constantly see it, the need for a bad guy. I see it in both the real and virtual world. In the real world, everyone needs someone they hate. I have seen it in every job and social structure. At work, there always needs to be one (or more depending on company size) person that everyone...

So the new fresh start server is starting tomorrow. Honestly, it looks pretty decent. I'm going to having another go at it with my wife and daughter on the new server. It may end up being more of the same, but the game is actually decent enough for me to give it another shot. At the very...

I have long since held that the popularity and success of a game can be measured by the amount of information available on third party websites. WoW has sites like wowhead, mr robot, world of logs, and many others. Even the original grandpa Everquest (the origin of my online name btw) had...
