Baron Soosdon: Looking Back No More

Baron Soosdon: Looking Back No More

Long time readers of my site know I have a man-crush on Baron Soosdon. The guy is funny and possibly the most talented person I’ve ever seen. His work always strikes gold and there isn’t a single piece of his machinima that doesn’t entertain me. It helps as always that we have downright identical taste [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Aion & WoW side by side, a Spooner Q&A Session

Aion & WoW side by side, a Spooner Q&A Session

I got an email from a reader the other day named Lew. He’s got a pretty solid question and it’s taken me a little bit to get the answer for him. In a nutshell, he’s requesting a fact by fact comparison of Aion to the World of Warcraft for the purpose of translation ans transition [...]

Aion Lore: History of Atreia

Aion Lore: History of Atreia

So this is a pretty short version of the whole story but for what it’s worth, I had a blast revisiting it. If you want the full story you can check out my original post here: http://www.spooncraft.com/featured-articles/the-lore-of-aion-wtf-is-going-on-here/
One thing that I noticed in the game that truly blew me away, was the lore treatments. In games [...]

New servers launched in Aion

New servers launched in Aion

NCsoft has officially launched a new server for Aion. Its called Fregion and it’s a West Coast time-zone server with no queues! (for now)
Stay tuned this weekend as I’m sure more news is going to come out. Also, an additional East Coast and EU server are on the way.

Aion Head-start: Butt-hurt and Blasphemy

Aion Head-start: Butt-hurt and Blasphemy

Cliche time, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. These here might just be a few hundred. Enjoy~

First you have to wait. I got into the server in about 20 seconds in the early afternoon, then I had to log off for a bit. Big mistake.

These 3 images are from me and Nycterra [...]

My Aion: Other games could learn a lesson…

My Aion: Other games could learn a lesson…

This whole “My Aion” system is pretty robust and incredible. With your Aion game account you have access to an entire arsenal of features and services that enhance the game when you’re offline. I mean sure ok the whole Armory thing is fine for fueling forum wars, but there really isn’t any real functionality that [...]

Aion Live server list announced

Aion Live server list announced

Hey. NCsoft and the Aion team have announced the twelve servers available at launch in North America. Not sure which one I will be on because last time I hinted at it, you guys gave me shit and a half when I rolled on a different server (which was caused by population lockouts as you [...]

A WoW Player’s Guide to Aion [Updated]

A WoW Player’s Guide to Aion [Updated]

I’ll be updating this as often as I can. Bear in mind that since Monday night I’ve been pushing a crazy little flu. Fever, vomiting, yeah all the juicy stuff – baby when Spooner gets sick he gets sick BIG.
Anyway, that doesn’t mean I’ve been idle 100%. I have managed to get two videos rendered [...]

Aion Open Beta: Where’s Spooner?

Aion Open Beta: Where’s Spooner?

If you want to play with me and join a Beta legion for fun and frolic, the server is Nezekan and the faction side is Asmodian. My character is (obviously) named Spooner. Standard “don’t be a fucking asshole” rules apply, I won’t be giving out any form of vent information though but if somebody has [...]

Aion picked up by DC Wild Storm?

Aion picked up by DC Wild Storm?

All sources point to yes, but not like you think. As reported by Kotaku and confirmed on GameStop, there’s another incentive for people pre-ordering Aion.
It seems that DC Comic’s Wild Storm is giving Aion a little treatment. You might recognize the company since they happen to be the ones running World of Warcraft’s comics. The [...]

The Return of Troxed! [Updated]

The Return of Troxed! [Updated]

You guys remember Troxed? I posted a bit about this guy back in March of 2008, great guy, fucking lunatic to be generous, even had a few videos and such made highlighting his escapades in guild leadership.
Anyway after a very long hiatus, Troxed has returned and has humbly requested I spread the good gospel. I [...]

The Lore of Aion: WTF is going on here?

The Lore of Aion: WTF is going on here?

I’ve been reading on the lore for kind of a while now, other games for me have to be able to at least scarcely hold a candle to the awesome that is WoW’s lore for me to maintain interest. I was thinking about writing this massively huge wall of text but you can find that [...]

New Aion Cinematic Intro

New Aion Cinematic Intro

I like. We’ve seen tons of CG footage with the factions fighting each other and then at the end there’s a bunch of Balaur that come out of nowhere and HAY GUIAZ they stomp on people. Unless you read the lore pages you typically don’t have a clue (without playing the game) as to why [...]

Aion Professions & Crafting Primer

Aion Professions & Crafting Primer

So I haven’t done a video showing you all the specific professions in Aion until now. As I stated in the video there is no limitation per say on the professions, you can learn all of them, however. You can only become a master in two of them so the highest/best crafts are pretty much [...]

Aion: Gathering Primer v2.0

Aion: Gathering Primer v2.0

I know I did a gathering video already but like most of my first uploads, it was lacking. In this video you’ll see the basics of gathering which isn’t very complex at all truth be told. Also you’ll hear my single major complaint with Aion, gathering in flight.
Now the gathering quests really aren’t as big [...]

Aion: Hey Sheffield, let’s go Rifting… (PvP Part 2)

Aion: Hey Sheffield, let’s go Rifting… (PvP Part 2)

Hello boys and girls. This is your old pal Stinky Whizzleteets. This is a song about a whale, NO! This is a song about Rifting, that’s right! I don’t think you know what rifting is. I’ll teach you to rift! I’ll teach your grandmother to suck eggs! Now boys and girls, let’s try it again!
First [...]

Aion’s PvP, all you ever wanted to know. Part 1

Aion’s PvP, all you ever wanted to know. Part 1

So you’re wondering about how PvP works in Aion right? You’re a little frustrated at being forced to PvP in a little box dryfucking pillars and dealing with constant imbalanced bullshit right? No worries my friends, welcome to the promised land of PvP! But fear not my little carebears, there’s room for you in this [...]
