So, over the weekend I got to get in a little time with the Diablo 3 Open Beta. To get to the point quickly… if you loved Diablo 1 and/or Diablo 2, you will definitely love Diablo 3. It is a fun hack’n’slash dungeon crawler with a sprinkling of RPG. For my first character, I… Read More: Diablo 3 Beta: The Crack is Back! »
I’ve heard bits and pieces about the upcoming Game of Thrones (roleplaying game) over the last year or so. Nothing much but just the topic alone caught my interest; I’m a huge fan of the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series by George R.R. Martin (and the HBO series is pretty good, too… though… Read More: Winter is Coming… in May »
About a month ago, I posted about a new Austin-based studio called Stoic Studio which is making a game called The Banner Saga. As is all the rage as of late, they started a Kickstarter for this project and added a video to it: [tbsksvid][/tbsksvid] Granted, I’m being a little sarcastic about “all the rage”… Read More: Kickstart The Banner Saga »
[imgright]https://seandahlberg.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ghost_rider_150x109.jpg[/imgright]I can’t say I’m a hardcore comic book collector, because I’m not. But, while growing up, there were a few titles that I thoroughly enjoyed. I think it all started with the Uncanny X-Men 138 and then I added a few others over the years. I was always into the dark and anti-heroes so when… Read More: Vengeance Must Be Served »
I have found one of my new favorite webcomics: Least I Can Do. While it does have somewhat of a geeky vibe, it is unlike most of the other ones on my list and doesn’t directly relate to gaming. The primary theme of the strip is sexuality, especially the promiscuity of the primary character, Rayne… Read More: Least I Could Do »
Last week it was announced that I no longer work for Stray Bullet Games. At that point, I wasn’t sure if I could announce where I’d be working next and figured it would be better to err on the side of caution. Well, today was my first day and it was confirmed that I could… Read More: And the next chapter begins »
For those of you just tuning it, today it was announced that I have left Stray Bullet Games, LLC. Also, if you’re into Shadowbane lore or even just a good story, Sam aka Meridian published the first part of the Death of Ashen Temper. Today has been very surreal so far. Many of the people… Read More: The Death of Ashen Temper »
Kill Ten Rats posted this on their site so I am just going to give you a snippet of it then have you go read it. It’s a good read: MMO community managers have an ugly job. Public relations is never the cakewalk that it seems from the outside, but dealing with the teeming internet… Read More: So You Read Message Boards For a Living? »
Due to the fact that my last official work day was May 15th and the next one isn’t until June 1st, I decided to take advantage of the “free” time and I am out-of-state for a bit. I’ll be back soon but I doubt I’ll be checking the forums or my email or things much… Read More: Ashen On Vacation »
The following was written by HaemishM on his new site Game Angst: This is the end of something and the beginning of something quite like it. I started writing for the “rant site” Waterthread.org back in September of 2002, after a first abortive attempt to write something for Player2Player.net that is probably better lost to… Read More: Game Angst »
