Age of Conan expansion, updates, and film tie-in detailed at GC {Massively}
Aug 20th 2008 7:27PM I think they owe loyal subscribers a lot more free content (well, it wouldn't free since there's been a subscription fee) before they start talking about payed expansion packs. Why can't they be like Eve Online and generate the hype for expansion packs but not charge people for them?
Still, I appreciate that they expand on the lore, since I think that's one of AoC's greatest assets. I wish they would make something in the homeland of the Vanir though, some kind of thrust into their territory by Conan or something like that :p The Cimmeria/northern content is among the best in the game imo
Huge patch finally comes to Age of Conan {Massively}
Aug 19th 2008 6:58PM Suddenly I'm a fanboy because I say that I'm happy with more voice acting? It adds a lot to the atmosphere, imagine Oblivion if it didn't have any voice acting. No need to be an asshole and attack me just because I voiced appreciation for one thing in the patch. Just because I don't bitch at every single AoC post doesn't make me a fanboy. Stay the fuck away from me if you can't deal with me being happy with something.
Huge patch finally comes to Age of Conan {Massively}
Aug 19th 2008 1:00PM I'm pleased that they've added voice acting. At this rate Age of Conan will be a very good game in a year or so.
New Final Fantasy XI boss could take 24 hours to kill {Joystiq}
Aug 14th 2008 12:50PM Personally I think this is great - I want MMOs to give the feeling that as well as all the stuff you DO do, there are tasks and deeds that you will ever accomplish as well as stuff you will never see and items that you will ever even hear of. That's what makes our world and what would make an MMO world feel huge.
Russian-Georgia conflict predicted by Ghost Recon {Joystiq}
Aug 14th 2008 6:54AM Russians trying to restore the power and prestige of the Soviet Union, which seems accurate to me... What claim does Russia have if it is not grounded in their past Empires. Russia seems to be increasingly trying to assert itself over neighbours like Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus, which strikes me as nostalgia for the glory days of Russian power.
Russian-Georgia conflict predicted by Ghost Recon {Joystiq}
Aug 14th 2008 5:37AM Well, Tom Clancy deals mainly in plausible scenarios, which is what helps make his books so entertaining. I guess he's even better at identifying conflict fault lines than we expected!
Erling Ellingsen steps up to the plate on Age of Conan forums {Massively}
Aug 13th 2008 5:11PM The age of Conan forums are a seriously negative place. It's amazing how hostile the people on that forum are towards the game. Although I've argued several times on massively in defense of the game, I do think there are many shortcomings. However, I think we should be patient with the devs and let them improve the game. You don't have to play in the meantime, but at least give them a break and stop acting like it's the end of the world that the game isn't as good as you want it to be right now. I respect Erling Ellingsen though. It's tough for the Funcom people but I have high hopes. I'm going to be taking a break from AoC for a bit (preordered the WAR CE, so have a beta and early access to take advantage of), but I'm certain to come back to it. My character is a level 64 at the moment, and have enjoyed the game thoroughly so far.
Team Fortress 2 bulks up with whopping Heavy update August 19 {Joystiq}
Aug 13th 2008 6:53AM CP_Steel is an awesome map, I can't wait to play it on public servers. I play it in clan games but when we try to put it on our server people don't like it because of having to download the map. It's a CP attack/defense map, but the final point can be captured any time. If they manage to do that, they win. It's hard though, because it takes a really long time to cap. They can also win by capturing all of the CPs in order.
Can't wait to see what else they have in store!
NVIDIA enables PhysX and CUDA support for GeForce 8 and higher GPUs with free downloads {Engadget}
Aug 12th 2008 9:29PM I wasn't suggesting they get rid of all the assholes, as hard as you might be trying to prove that necessary. Anyway, what's wrong with Mario? You must hate engadget's sister blog, joystiq.
