I did think about calling in sick, and now karma caught me. Not feeling too good today. But to make the most of my time I'll just try to sneak out of work early. I would have liked to finish my work projects ahead of time but I work in software and I need to be onsite to fix any problems that come up. Like today. Massive problem, I'll just be happy to get out of here on time. Word to the wise, salary is awesome, except when you have to work late. Sneak out early!

Yup my fiance still has issues(she got the ps3 version). Looks like even more than before too. Looks like I'll being playing the pc version in offline mode fora while.

As soon as this comes out I'dd need to figure out how to time slice TOR and Mass Effect 3 in.

You know Star Trek online uses your accountname@toonname, don't know this is such a big deal. I think it's fantstic. It allows toon to be linked together in the world and be associated by other people. It also reduces your anonymity online, thus reducing the amount of things trolls like to do.

Fantastic! I look forward to sharing time between TOR to play this as well. Not many of this kind of entry in the MMO field, or video game field in general.

Zynga uses what is known as "Appointment Gaming" It's where you say come back in x time units and get a bonus or if you don't then we won't penalize you and you will only get the standard reward. It makes gamers come back on the games terms. Farmville isn't a sit down and burn through the main campaign for 5 hours kinda game. It's like a lottery ticket. Put in your numbers and wait until they are called.

While I am not in love with the design, the psychology behind the practice is quite interesting. And frankly there is something to be said for the boat loads of money pouring out of Zynga's coffers.

And I find Stewart's comments to be some what of a "he has a nice car so I hate him" attitude. While I whole heartily support criticism of other companies this is down right childish. But I look forward to the interview, I do love scandalous comments :)

Not using facebook and twitter? Unprofessional? I think not. It's the best way to spread news because a large portion of the community uses social networking sites. I had my doubts too and I think it feels tacky but having worked in the programming business, I can tell you it's sorta of a 'must have.'

I personally sit on the forums too waiting for news and then get mad because they posted it to facebook.

Both Lotro and Rift have a cosmetic tab. My level 50 Cleric on Rift is wearing the starting robes because I think they look the best and I haven't seen any armor that is even close. My actual stat based armor? Hideous.

Glad my fiance and I don't have this problem, she helps me just as much as I help her. Now she is the one with a level capped played on Lotro and a very impressive Tank.

There devs are busy with the game not the site :)
