Massively Speaking Episode 240: We ain't no scrubs
With five kajillion MMOs on the market, Bree and Justin struggle to remember just what's what, some weeks. That may seem like scrub behavior, but they ain't no scrubs; they're professional goof-offs with a master's degree in goofery from Goof State University. It's an exciting podcast full of ...
Jukebox Heroes: Soul of the Ultimate Nation's soundtrack
Yes, you're seeing the header graphic correctly; Howard Shore is the powerhouse behind Soul of the Ultimate Nation's soundtrack. Yes, it's that Howard Shore -- The Lord of the Rings guy (not to mention all of his dozens of other film score projects dating back to 1979). How this smallish MMO was ...
PlanetSide 2 rocks: An interview with composer Jeff Broadbent
In this post-Halo age, it's hard to imagine any sort of galactic ground battle happening without a stirring score at your back. So the challenge to the SOE audio team and Composer Jeff Broadbent was formidable: PlanetSide 2's soundtrack had to rock so hard that it would bring tears to the eyes of ...
Jukebox Heroes: Spiral Knights' soundtrack
Wow, talk about a soundtrack that leaped up and bit me on the... earbuds! Sometimes I'm surprised how the smaller MMOs get treated to such lavish score releases while big-name games hoard their music to themselves, but in the case of Spiral Knights, I'm sincerely glad that this two-volume set was ...
Massively Speaking Episode 239: Countdown to terror
Sunrise, sunset. Some games reach new heights and some crash to the ground. Some questions go unanswered while some developers never stop talking. Some game futures are uncertain while some look more promising by the day. It's another week of MMO news, and some of it is more of the same and some ...
Jukebox Heroes: Granado Espada's soundtrack
So here's an impossible task that lies before me right now: picking one musical genre that defines Granado Espada's score. I can't. It simply cannot be done. I've listened to a lot of soundtracks, my friends, and this game's score is literally all over the place. I don't know how or why the ...
Massively Speaking Episode 238: Justin at top volume
Yes, something's gone wonky with Justin's mike and he can't figure out why HIS VOICE IS REALLY LOUD. It's not that he's trying to shout you into submission. Promise. Top Massively engineers are looking into the problem and deeply apologize for any profusely bleeding eardrums that the following ...
Jukebox Heroes: A few of my favorite MMO soundtracks
I could hear some of you thinking in disbelief last week, "If Age of Conan isn't one of your top MMO scores, what is? And just how much am I not sending you a Christmas card this year, you loser?" You were kind enough to just think it and not say it, but I could hear it even so. As we've ...
Massively Speaking Episode 237: Mark Jacobs interview
It's realm vs. realm vs. realm on this week's Massively Speaking: Bree Royce vs. Justin Olivetti vs. Mark Jacobs! Jacobs is continuing his pre-Kickstarter world tour for Camelot Unchained, and he's certainly not shy in talking up its various aspects on the podcast. See how an experienced game dev ...
Jukebox Heroes: Hellgate London's soundtrack
Hellgate London was a title that I was highly anticipating back in the day. It was a post-apocalyptic MMO action-RPG brought to us by the makers of Diablo, all with techno-warriors and jaunts through the London Underground. I was on board with that. Sure, we all know how it ended and will ...
