Neolithic age time period

This week’s Massively Overthinking is a serious one from our dear Patreon patron Duane. Here’s the jumping off point for his topic: “There has lately been an attitude on various sites and videos lately regarding MMOs falling out of fashion, and the latest news from Turbine is quite a hefty blow, confirming many a confirmation bias. The sentiment is that the ‘Golden Age’ of MMOs existed back in 1999-2003 and that MMOs are currently in a downward spiral both in quality of content and quantity of viable options. The thing is, since 2010, 20-50 MMOs have been releasing in the west every year, and 2017 is already looking to be a pretty big year for MMOs. In addition, many of the MMOs that launched a decade ago are still playable (even if they may be in a zombie/maintenance mode), and more people are playing MMOs than ever before.

Note: No spoilers, until the last few paragraphs, plenty of warning forthcoming. Let me just start this post off by saying I was a huge, huge, huge, HUGE, HUGE fan of Dragon Age: Origins, so to say I was excited about Dragon Age II is the understatement of the year. Of course, there were several things I was mindful of before playing. On top of some major changes to gameplay, I knew that DA2, while set in the same world and time period as its predecessor, will also take place in a different city and center around the life and adventures of a new protagonist, Hawke. I won’t lie; there was just the teensiest twinge of disappointment when I first heard this news last year. Admittedly, so much of my enjoyment of the first game came out of my emotional investment into my human noble warrior, and the attachment I felt to her companions, the Grey Warden mythos, and Ferelden. Nevertheless, I was open to something new — change can be good, and BioWare has shown with Mass Effect that … [Read more...] about A Champion Has Risen – Thoughts On Dragon Age II

Since I was a little boy, Star Trek has been something very near and dear to my heart. From the first time, I saw Kirk and Spock, to the last Star Trek movie with Picard and the crew. It is very easy for me to talk about all things Trek, ask anyone who knows me because I even have Star Trek trivia games. Star Trek Online, since its inception, was something I knew instantly I wanted to get into big time. The original game lacked a lot of things that make Star Trek, well Star Trek. After a short time, Perfect World Entertainment obtained the intellectual property for Star Trek Online and boy has it taken off, and not just for me, for everyone. Come with me on a journey into discovery.I want to start by saying no one approached me about this article, and I one hundred percent wanted to do this myself.

As with all new characters, based on which era character you pick you will … [Read more...] about Star Trek Online – Age of Discovery ‘To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before’
