The Daily Grind: Do you like getting email updates regarding MMOs?
Yesterday morning I received an email from Star Wars: The Old Republic to let me know that the latest game patch went live and I should totally play and check it out. Which is kind of pointless, because I have been playing. I didn't stop playing. Playing has been happening consistently the whole time. The mail shares a space in the same folder I reserve for mails like the ones from EVE Online urging me to come back after playing for one month seven years ago. Admittedly, working for this site means that there are very few bits of MMO information that don't manage to hit our ears at some point. But are these mails ever received with any real joy or interest? I ask you, dear readers: Do you like getting email updates regarding MMOs? Or would you prefer that games of all stripes stop pestering you and let you play what and when you want?

The Daily Grind: Have you ever loved a game you once hated?
It's easy to hate a game you once loved. Your class gets nerfed, your favorite playstyle gets changed, everyone's a Jedi -- we get that side of things. But there are also those times when you try a game in beta or at launch and it just doesn't click with you. Even worse, there are games that may do something in those first few hours that cause you to swear that game off forever. But if you paid for the game, or have some sort of investment in it, you might see it collecting dust on your shelf or making puppy-dog eyes at you from your desktop and decide that it deserves another try. That's when you discover that it might just be the best game you've ever played. Has this happened to you? Which game reeled you back in? Was it because of a patch, or just the fact that time heals all wounds? Let us know in the comments!
