MV Guide: January 16-22, 2012

Updated Mon, Jan 16, 2012, 9:00 AM·5 min read

MV Guide is a weekly rundown of the MMO gaming events planned on Massively TV.

Every week, the Massively staff logs in to play various MMOs live and in person, and we'd love for you to drop by the channel and visit. We have a combination of regular weekly games and new surprises, so you'll find a variety of titles to take a look at. During our streamed events, you can participate in the live chat, ask questions to learn about the game, and simply spend some time with Massively staff and readers. (Of course, streaming is subject to the whims of outside forces like server-side gremlins once in a while.)

Follow along after the jump to see what's on this week's schedule!

	Monday, 1:00 p.m EST: Blake -- Global Agenda The Lunchtime Livecast is back to wrap up our lengthy discussion on gear. By viewer request, Lunchtime Livecast #5 will also answer your questions about crafting in Global Agenda!
	Monday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Thirst of Night It's Rise and Shiny Monday, and Beau will be looking at Thirst of Night, a new MMORTS by Kabam. It's fantastically animated, and the music is cool, but how will it stand up to a clueless player like Beau? Tune in and see!
	Monday, 8:00 p.m. EST: Mike -- EVE Online It's time for a cannonball run as Mike creates a brand-new character and sends him into the depths of low-sec space. How long can he survive?

	Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Terilynn -- Star Trek Online (Klingon Tutorial) Our STO columnist, Terilynn Shull, joins STO Community Manager Brandon Felczer for a tour of the Klingon character creator and the Federation tutorials as part of our STO F2P launch party.

	Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. EST: Richie -- League of Legends Last week, with the powers of the chatroom behind him, Richie survived the League of Legends tutorials and then proceeded to get beaten down by a bunch of bots in his first match. Can he redeem himself this week with a win, or will this LoL neophyte get sent back to the training modes? Watch the show to find out!
	Wednesday, 2:00 p.m. EST: Larry -- Star Wars: The Old Republic Captain Topper traced Skavak -- and more importantly, his ship -- to Coruscant, but what will he find when he finally gets back on board his beautiful starcraft? Tune in this week to find out.
	Wednesday, 3:00 p.m. EST: Jeremy -- Runes of Magic Jeremy returns to the land of Taborea, and he's trying to drag his guild along with him. Tune in for some high-level dungeon running.
	Wednesday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Second Life It's Second Life Wednesday again, and Beau is due to explore some of the different roleplay sims in world. Keep an eye on the stream to see some of the coolest player-made roleplay areas ever!
	Wednesday, 8:00 p.m. EST: James "Adventure Mike" -- Dawn of Fantasy This week, Adventure Mike is taking a week off from Vanguard: Saga of Heroes to play an MMORTS! He'll take a first impressions look at the fresh game from Reverie Studios called Dawn of Fantasy. Tune in to watch Mike make poor tactical decisions and probably get himself sacked on multiple occasions!
	Thursday, 5:00 a.m. EST: David "Psykopig" -- DC Universe Online Psykopig comes closer to his goal this week with Dr. Drain. WORLD DOMINATION (of the world lvl 10 and under). Joins Psykopig this week as he continues his leveling, checks out some of the new R&D system, and takes on some more PVP!
	Thursday, 11:00 a.m. EST: Karen and Jeremy -- Hellgate Global Karen and Jeremy decided to venture into the action/horror setting of Hellgate: Global. They're not sure what's scarier: the world of Hellgate or Jeremy's ninja-looting abilities.
	Thursday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- RuneScape It's RuneScape Thursday! This time Beau will be moving on down the line of Varrock quests, but he might take some time out to see the sights a bit. If you like to scream "NO, THAT WAY!" at the screen a lot, then this might just be the stream for you.
	Thursday, 8:00 p.m. EST: Taryn -- All Points Bulletin: Reloaded Looks like the day we thought would never come has finally arrived. Taryn has joined the "dark" side and made an enforcer character! Will she find out that fighting the life of crime isn't as bad as she thought? Join her for her regular "Tboo Thursday" and watch her do missions at the Trainee level. Can she fight the urge to not teamkill her fellow enforcers? Yuck! Tune in to find out!
	Friday, 11:00 a.m. EST: Karen and Jeremy -- Rusty Hearts Join Karen and Jeremy for Friday brunch with Rusty Hearts. They're rusty, and they have a lot of heart, but do they have what it takes to tackle this game? Find out!
	Friday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Milmo It's Milmo Friday! That means that Beau will be continuing to jump, bounce and collect his way through as many levels as he can. Perhaps he'll finally make a try for that boss in the earlier level. But he just might chicken out again!
	Friday, 7:30 p.m. EST: Patrick -- Champions Online Patrick will hit up the test server to demonstrate the new Wind powerset and take a detailed look at freeform character creation. Customizing your own superhero can be daunting, but this week, Patrick shows you the tricks to get the most out of your costumed crusader!
