I had a friend email me and ask if I was done playing Urban Dead now that I had died. Au contraire, mon ami. The game has only begun. That would insinuate that I’m now roaming around as a zombie, terrorizing survivors and nibbling tasty brain remnants. This is actually not the case. I got […]
I’m dead, Jim
Looks like I shouldn’t have slept last night. Or at the very least, I should have dragged my butt out of the hot zone. Just another day in Malton.
Urban Dead – still fun
It’s been a couple of weeks since I first starting playing the HTML-based survival horror game with a substantial group from Evil Avatar, but I have to admit, I’m still having fun. By this point with most games I play, I’ve already sucked all the entertainment value out of it and am ready to ditch […]
Champions Online!
So, first they sold the City of Heroes/Villains franchise to NCSoft, and then they got the Marvel MMO pulled out from under their feet. Now what’s a studio like Cryptic that only knows superheroes supposed to do? Why, that’s easy! Create a brand new superhero MMORPG based on an ancient pen and paper game license! […]
Urban Dead: it’s like a text-based ‘Night of the Living Dead’…kinda
So, I’ve been hooked on Urban Dead since sometime last week. It’s essentially an HTML interface survival horror game, with emphasis on the “survival”, and not so much on the “horror”. You join hundreds thousands lots of people online in a persistent world that is one large, sprawling city. You gather up with a group […]
Ding! Back!
Looks like Scott made a decision, and Ding! will return to the web sometime soon. However, instead of being a Sunday feature on PvP, it’s going to be a Tuesday/Thursday feature over at a new gaming site called Crispy Gamer. Huzzah!
Possible return of Ding!?
Scott Kurtz has gotten re-addicted to World of Warcraft, and in his obviously raid-induced state of clouded thought, is considering resurrecting his old MMO-based single-panel comic Ding! as a Sunday color feature. Please join me in letting Scott know that anything new from him is welcome in our cozy little webcomic universe.
Someone else will have to save the city
So, NCSoft reactivated everyone’s City of Heroes accounts for the weekend to give more people the opportunity to try out the new issue 10 content. They did this to us last year, if you recall. Alas, the draw is too terribly strong. And having an upgraded computer since last year, I thought the experience might […]
Back to Dofus?
I suppose the new update means I’ll be downloading Dofus again sometime this weekend. Of course, with all the cleaning, painting, and repairing we need to do to the house to get it ready to sell, I’m not quite sure when I’ll be seeing a chance to actually play it.
W00t! Radio chat with City of Heroes developer
Looking at my blog stats, I see that I get a LOT of hits from people searching for information on City of Heroes upcoming issue 8. So, let’s appease the masses. Matt Miller, aka “Positron”, a designer for City of Heroes and City of Villains, was interviewed the other day by W00t! Radio. In the […]
