Ex-NCsoft Employees on Tabula Rasa's Demise2010-02-24 00:00:00post-mortem generated waves with another ex-NCsoft employee, Scott "Lum the Mad" Jennings, who had the following to say:
Well, Adam's a bit safer in that he's on a whole other continent. Here in Austin game development, it's
hard to find someone who isn't, at a maximum, one degree removed from someone who was involved, at one point or another, with TR. It was a massive project, it employed a great many people over its lifetime, and at least half of the resumes currently sitting in my email are from people involved, at one point or another, with TR. Combine that with Midway's long-running explosion and you have most of the Austin game development community polishing resumes.
So what happened?
My take is pretty similar to Adam's, actually. I wa...
World of Warcraft: PvP Panel Discussion2009-10-24 00:00:00potential for abuse.
Perhaps the most exciting announcement made at the PvP panel was the introduction of Guild Battlegrounds to the game. While a specific date wasn't mentioned, Blizzard is planning to allow guilds to get ranked in a system much like that of arena teams, with the best guilds getting special rewards, hopefully inspiring more people (like
hardcore raiders) to participate in PvP.

Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00Ow.
Two warriors, a shaman, a priest, and myself. Time to rock.
It turns out that with a party, the fight isn't that bad. It really does require a proper healer and tank, though. Brokentoe falls, and Gurgthock applauds my victory. (and gives me 11 gold and a nice chunk of XP. I think I'm going to like this quest...) But it's not over yet! Round two is against a pair of Murkblood twins calling themselves the Blue Brothers...
Blue Brothers? More like... BLACK and Blue brothers! Because they're... bruised! 'cause we hit them! A lot!
...don't judge me.
Fight #3 is against Rokdar the Sundered Lord, a Mountain Giant (but not the cute friendly kind we know from Azeroth, a big spiky ugly brute) from the Blade's Edge Mountains. He's not particularly
hard, though he does hit like a truck-and his size makes it
hard to get a good screenshot. Once Rokdar goes down, Gurgthock ups the prize, giving us 5 Super Health Potions and 5 Super Mana Potions in addition to the gold and XP. Sweet deal!
The fourth bout is Skra'gath, one of those armored Void Lords we've been seeing about (like Pandemonius). He's got some shadow damage, but really, not all that
hard. This is cake! Easy cake, too!
Hey, Gurgthock tells me (and my party) that the next bout is against the Warmaul Champion himself to defend his title. How bad can it be, eh?
All the other fighters spawned in the ring. However, the Champion-a large armored Murkblood warrior-walks in from the outside. Once he nears the ring, he turns immediately hostile and attacks anybody nearby. In this case, it happens to be our Shaman, who wasn't really paying attention. Before we can blink, our totem-dropping pal is hamburger.
