Ever since UO, I’ve had an affinity for writing about (in character or otherwise) some of the MMOs I’ve played. My interest in either the pages or the game usually lasted only a few months, so most are rather short and limited in content. Ultima Online – Manhunter. Asheron’s Call – Build Notes Archive. Earth and Beyond – Galactic Corsairs. Puzzle Pirates – Sea Diaries. Shadowbane – Treachery Timeline. Lineage 2 – Knee Deep in Elves. Vanguard – Veskal’s Exchange. And Tahean’s Vengeance.

Lineage 2 – Giran Castle Siege. Hammersmith Dwarves defend the castle. Lineage 2 – Tinqr Finds Frogs. Too much free time, a reasonable amount of amaretto, and FRAPS. EVERCAMP – Rare Spawn Camping. It’s a joke. It’s not real. srsly. EVE Online – Basic Agent Mission. I probably need to update this video. As the mission system has greatly improved over the years. Auto Assault –. Chasing down your mark, destructible environment and teamwork. It’s just a very fun mission. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

http://themess.com/gamestuff/2013/03/an-interesting-chart-on-games-and-toys
An interesting chart on games and toys. March 26, 2013. A neat chart I found in a recent post on MMORPG.com. It illustrated game designer Chris Crawford. 8216;s definition of the term game using a series of dichotomies. Chris Crawfords Game Definition Chart. Creative expression is art if made for its own beauty, and entertainment if made for money. A piece of entertainment is a plaything if it is interactive. Movies and books are an example of non-interactive entertainment. Many thanks to Quirhid.

Formichetti Zombie Boy CCP Games = WIN. September 9, 2011. A virtual catwalk that has to be seen to be believed. What you are seeing in the video below is done in the same engine used to create EVE Online and World of Darkness. Each time you see a frame and think “That’s live video,” look again… it’s computer generated. Some amazing stuff there in both 3d graphics and the use of the tech.

Sandboxes, Game Design and the Stigma of TOY. March 15, 2012. A good portion of sandbox content is just that, a creative outlet and entertaining diversion. However, the word toy has a stigma to it.

If DnD was invented in 2012…. March 15, 2012. If DnD had been invented by today’s gamers, the dungeon would probably be two 10×10 rooms.

SC3D: A Christmas-themed Wolfenstein 3D mod. In November of 1994, I got the idea to make a Christmas mod of Wolf 3D for some holiday hack-n-slash fun. The result was “Santa Claws 3D” which can be downloaded here. 979k) You’ll more than likely need DOSBox. Or another DOS emulator to get it running as the game itself is over two decades old. The custom title screen was created both for two reasons - add a cool intro and pass command line parameters without using a .BAT file. Wall and object art.
