The Daily Grind: Are you a screenshotter?

Aug 31st 2009 10:44AM (Massively)
I typically only take screenshots in games with a built in screen capture utility. If I have to tab out of my game, open photoshop, paste it in, save it in a reasonable size and format without losing quality...you get the drift. It's a hassle, especially when your PC isn't high end.

The second golden age now occuring in Planet Calypso

It should be noted that even though this game has been around for years, jumping in right now is like jumping into a brand new game still in early beta stages.

The Daily Grind: Selling your MMO accounts

Aug 24th 2009 10:38AM (Massively)
There is one big difference between selling an account and a used game: Profit.
There is a lot of money to be made in account selling. If there wasn't, gold farms and leveling farms wouldn't exist. You simply can't make money returning used games, unless you stole the game (or bought it for $1 from a teenage boy's angry mother who's selling her son's possessions as a punishment for not doing his homework).

Fileplanet wants you to play Earth Eternal really badly

Interestingly enough, as a web based game, EE doesn't really NEED FilePlanet, yet here we are.

Planet Calypso, formerly Entropia Universe, converts to CryEngine 2

Aug 16th 2009 10:27AM (Massively)
Yes, it's a game.
No, it's not a scam.

MindArk are very open about the fact that this is more-or-less a glorified slot machine. However, "gambling" is a form of "gaming" and is frequently referred to as such. (example: Nevada Gaming Control Board). So by definition, this is a "game." I realize a lot of people are turned off by the expenses of doing anything in game, but it's no different than dropping a quarter in a slot machine. I for one, would rather fire a rifle or do some mining instead of pulling the arm anyday.

It's "Second Golden Age of Calypso" not "The Second Coming of Calypso."

P.S...EXCITED!!!

A Second Life user's guide to tier

If you don't play/like Second Life, skip past the articles. I employ this tactic with World of Warcraft articles. It's so simple and not at all difficult to do! But wait, there's more! Stop reading/posting now and you're reputation will skyrocket! No more nasty "Negative Nancy" and "Debbie Downer" comments will ever be thrown your way! Don't wait! Subscribe today!

Rumor: No more authentication tokens for Final Fantasy XI?

Jul 26th 2009 12:03PM (Massively)
Why can we only rate comments and not articles? This one deserves a ZERO. Not only is it blind speculation, it even links to an article, an article that's less that TWO MONTHS old, which states "Currently, we are ordering more Square Enix Security Tokens, but it appears that it will take some time before they become available." ...Hold your freaking horses, they will return.
