The Nexus Telegraph: What the Luminai mean for WildStar

I spend a lot of time playing around with theories about lore. I can't do a whole lot more in regard to playing with WildStar at the moment, so that works out well anyway, but I do enjoy throwing out theories and seeing what sticks. Sometimes that invalidates earlier theories I had in the process, ...

A Mild-Mannered Reporter: Grim and gritty vs. light and funny

We're just a month away from the 11-year anniversary of Final Fantasy XI, which means that certain events in the game have taken on a certain sense of routine.

The Mog Log: Final Fantasy XIV's magitek disassembled

I've done a couple of articles on reoccurring concepts in Final Fantasy games before, but this is an unusual one because it seems to barely qualify at times. Final Fantasy XIV has magitek, as did Final Fantasy VI, but those are the only games to refer to it as such. Sure, other games flirt with ...

If you plan on playing Star Trek Online, you're going to have to deal with Empress Sela no matter your faction of choice.
