The Aion bots that inspire us!

The Aion bots that inspire us!

Well you know it’s a lot of fun (or so I hear) to take a rift and find where a bunch of enemy player bots are out grinding and just sit there doing the server a service. I couldn’t tell you from my own perspective as every rift I’ve ever tried to enter was  complete [...]

World of Warcraft hits more problems in China

World of Warcraft hits more problems in China

It seems that WoW is constantly teetering on the razor’s edge in China, what with their silly ass-backwards censorship policies and such. I’m pretty sure if not for the massive gold spam ads on my site, it too would be blocked. Maybe if I post more gratuitous porn and extremely bloody violence I’ll make the [...]

For the Lore Double-header (Ep. 006-007)

For the Lore Double-header (Ep. 006-007)

I really need to stop being so fucking lazy. Well maybe it’s not so much lazy as it is distracted, I swear it’s like a shiny tit will fly by and cause me to completely forget what it was I was -
Right so where was I? Yes, ok so that little show I kept telling [...]

WoW’s Fifth Anniversary Sweepstakes

WoW’s Fifth Anniversary Sweepstakes

Five years of WoW. After at least a few more months I’ll come back to Azeroth but for now, any longer and the whole world would have been reduced to ash under my immense burnout. That doesn’t mean I’m not following the game like a madman still, just not spending every waking moment on it [...]

Blizzard launches In-Game Special Pet Store

Blizzard launches In-Game Special Pet Store

You know, the more I thought about it the more I was totally ok with this idea. I mean honestly we have to face facts here that Blizzard has taken the MMORPG genre and with their one game have completely reinvented the market. I’d easily make the comparison between Warcraft and Starwars. You have two [...]

The Soapbox: How to fix Aion.

The Soapbox: How to fix Aion.

I’m by no means a game developer and as such, I don’t know what kind of man power or hours will go into these suggestions. I’m pretty damn sure that a lot of people will argue against my ideas and have solid and powerful opinions and that’s welcomed. So here is the summed up list [...]

Borderlands breaks the mold for the most fun I’ve had all year.

Borderlands breaks the mold for the most fun I’ve had all year.

I read this on Penny Arcade over the weekend:
If you had no externalities to manage – that is to say, if you were not a father of two, for whom sleep is a rare thing, and precious – I don’t know what could make you stop playing Borderlands. I honestly don’t know how you could [...]

Aion Veteran Rewards system coming soon…

Aion Veteran Rewards system coming soon…

So I’m noticing a reoccurring issue with Aion and more specifically NCsoft; they have these great ideas these fucking juicy as all hell little promises that they just can’t seem to deliver.
It’s like they have this amazingly awesome cake they were given, and we all want a slice and we all know it’s going to [...]

I missed Rapture.

I missed Rapture.

So I dusted off my old copy of Bioshock and reinstalled it. As I finished stockpiling enough caffeine and vitamin B to kill most livestock on my desk, I girded my loins in preparation for an all night madness induced gaming session. I would beat Bioshock in one sitting.
Needless to say, my mind was ravaged. [...]

The Fapp: Nintendo reigns supreme!

The Fapp: Nintendo reigns supreme!

This is probably why Nintendo is still ripping ass in the market for console sales and why I can’t get myself an old school NES system so I can teach my kids to game the right way on eBay without dropping $50+ easy.
Sexy curves on a woman who isn’t scrawny, big lips, and completely nude [...]

Aion hits J!NX with new apparel

Aion hits J!NX with new apparel

You know that you’ve made it relatively big when J!NX starts selling your name on shirts to geeks and trendy nerds alike. I’ll admit I have quite a few World of Warcraft and Starcraft shirts from J!NX as well as a few other items in my dresser drawers. Odds are as well that I’ll be [...]

October Aion Community Address looks pretty amazing

October Aion Community Address looks pretty amazing

I’ll just pick apart through to the best of this community letter. I also want to point out that I really like this idea of issuing monthly bullet letters to the community to show us that the developers are indeed listening and what their plans are. This level of transparency helps to alleviate a lot [...]

New leaked Left 4 Dead 2 trailer looks AWESOME!

Huge herbs in Aion

Huge herbs in Aion

I had to laugh a little when I first saw this. I’m not even an Alchemist so I don’t use Theonia (an herb) for shit, but lucky enough the wife is and she’s well supplied with materials. Apparently the only place anybody has seen it spawn is in the Brusthonin zone and it doesn’t share [...]

The Daily Fapp: God made Oktoberfest

The Daily Fapp: God made Oktoberfest

If you’re visiting Spooncraft then you already know that there are few precious things that win me over with little to no effort: beer and women. With that said, here’s a little of both – and if you feel the undeniable urge to say how beer is garbage in the comments, you might want to [...]

Borderlands Pre-Game Video Blowout!

Borderlands Pre-Game Video Blowout!

Monsters named Skaggs and midgets with shotguns. Yup.
I just want to help spread the word about Borderlands. I am going to buy this game day 1 and play it until my fucking eyes bleed out and my WASD keys fuse together in a gelatinous mass of plastic and flesh.
I’ve mentioned Borderlands a few times here [...]

Heiron zone tour video released

Heiron zone tour video released

I can’t seem to find much on the zone itself as far as lore and the likes, Heiron is a region in Elysea which is the home of the Elyos. It mirrors the function of Beluslan in being an end level zone for the Asmodians and has rifts that connect the two. It actually used [...]

Starcraft 2 Battle Report 4

Starcraft 2 Battle Report 4

So yeah nerf David Kim, the guy is a fucking beast and I love it. Regardless of the faction chosen he always seems to completely decimate the enemy player and soundly at that. In this BR#4 we get to see how the Terran face off against the Protoss in one of the most popular and [...]

Join me in Aion for the Harvest Revel

Join me in Aion for the Harvest Revel

You know I like me some in game holidays. I loved the ones in WoW until they became played out and dropped into the land of “grind for achievement and loot for casuals.”
I like the Harvest Revel concept, a perpetual eclipse making the game darker? Awesome! Different experiences for the two factions? Awesome! Lore, candy, [...]
