Review in Progress - My Ascension Slows

My epic ascension to god-hood slowed down this week. The reason was twofold. On one hand, I had to review Kyn (a fun little Indie RPG), but on the other hand I was actually very glad to take a break from Skyforge. After putting in over 40 hours since Open Beta Head Start, the repetitive nature of Skyforge's content is starting to get to me.

Kyn: A Wonderfully Unique but Flawed RPG

Posted: 26 Jul 2015 07:23 PM PDT

A Wonderfully Unique but Flawed RPG

Kyn shouldn't exist. There's no reliable reason an RPG like this should come from a two-man team called Tangrin Games. Victor Legerstee and Cavit Ozturk are the two Dutch minds behind this unique strategic RPG. Sure they've had some help from contractors to finish the game, but the art, coding, level design, and all of that was done entirely by these two friends with a dream: to make an RPG that makes you think and tell a new tale in a new world. So, have they succeeded?

EVE Online: Chronicles of a New Eden - A Pirate's Life for Me!

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 12:15 PM PDT

Chronicles of a New Eden - A Pirate

In spaces between the relentless mercantilism of high-sec and the dynastic feuds of null-sec lies the vast swathe of low security systems; the tattered fringe of order slowly unwoven by the ruthless chaos of lawless space. While a large portion of EVE Online's pilots avoid these systems like the plague, they have, like any region in EVE, evolved a society of their own. Helicity Boson wasn't like other pilots. He was, from his first days, forged in the conflict of pirate space.

Supporting John Smedley

John Smedley, outspoken former CEO of Daybreak Games, stepped down this week. Although Smedley hasn't officially stated the reason behind the change, the popular theory is that it has something to do with his on-going conflict with hacker group Lizard Squad. Lizard Squad is thought to be responsible for not only DDoS attacks on Daybreak's servers, but also calling in a bomb threat last year on a plane that Smedley was about to board.
