Like just about everyone else watching the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/pax-prime-2011/">PAX coverage</a>, I was expecting something big to come from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-wars-the-old-republic/"><em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em></a>. However, aside from a release date, I really didn't know what the team could give us that everyone would find important. At this point, you either like what you see or you don't. Nothing short of actually playing the game is going to make a difference. This oversaturation of information is a direct consequence of starting a marketing campaign three years ago. This long campaign results in news being regurgitated a few times over, as if it were new info. Take for instance the same-gender romance arc -- that was a topic <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/04/02/anti-aliased-even-virtual-relationships-are-hot-button-issues/">we covered two years ago</a>.<br />
<br />
As I did in the last <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/26/hyperspace-beacon-nuna-bites/">nuna bites segment</a>, I'd like to take a moment to discuss some of the smaller bits of news that you may have missed. At the same time, I would also like to weigh in on the same-gender-romance-arc subject because it is important, and I would like others to feel comfortable about expressing their personal viewpoints on the subject too.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/30/hyperspace-beacon-more-nuna-bites/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hyperspace Beacon: More nuna bites</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/30/hyperspace-beacon-more-nuna-bites/">Hyperspace Beacon: More nuna bites</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:00:00 EST.

Over the past three years, we've seen plenty of faces come and go through the doors of Massively. I can honestly say that I'm proud of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/about">current team</a> and it's been a pleasure working with such a diverse crowd since I started. <br />
<br />
Some former writers went on to work in the industry itself, either on the community or development side of things. We wanted to spotlight those Massively alumni with this article detailing their accomplishments. As an added bonus, a few of the former staffers answered some questions regarding their new gig.

The <a href="http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com/wp/">Extra Life</a> charity gaming marathon is always a source of excitement for the Massively staff.  We love the event and are thrilled to see gamers reaching out to help the <a href="http://www.childrensmiraclenetwork.org/index.aspx">Children's Miracle Network</a>.<br />
<br />
Are you interested in the event, but not sponsoring or watching anyone in particular?  Our very own <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/seraphina-brennan">Seraphina Brennan</a> will be gaming for 24 hours on behalf of Extra Life and the Children's Miracle Network.  You can keep an eye on events, participate in the chat, and offer tips, all through our Livestream feed.<br />

Hey Massively readers! We need you guys to rally up and help us help an awesome cause! As we <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/09/13/its-time-to-play-games-and-heal-kids-with-extra-life/">reported on earlier</a>, the <a href="http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com">Extra Life charity video game marathon</a> is going on this weekend, and we're participating in it! <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/beau-hindman">Beau Hindman</a> and I (<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/seraphina-brennan/">Seraphina Brennan</a>) will be stepping up to our keyboards for 24 hours of non-stop grinding this weekend, and we'd love it if you could support us! <br />
<br />
Extra Life is asking for donations of $24 (but you can donate whatever amount you wish), and this year the money is going to <a href="http://www.childrensmiraclenetwork.org/">Children's Miracle Network</a>. Beau is supporting the <a href="http://www.texaschildrenshospital.org/">Texas Children's Hospital</a>, while I will be supporting the <a href="http://www.chp.edu/CHP/Home">UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh</a>. Every dollar donated is 100% tax deductible and will go towards helping out these two fine hospitals and the many kids who depend on them. So please <a href="https://www.hospitalshelpingkids.org/ExtraLife/m.aspx?i=18927EE+A66AAB89B">click on this link to support Beau</a>, or <a href="https://www.hospitalshelpingkids.org/ExtraLife/m.aspx?i=194014D54A9E87DDA">click on this link to support me (Seraphina)</a>.<br />
<br />
If you're participating, you can also <a href="https://www.hospitalshelpingkids.org/ExtraLife/team.aspx?id=798793F2">join our site's team</a> and lend your fundraising efforts to the Massively.com Mob! For more information on participating, <a href="http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com">check out the Extra Life homepage here</a>.<br />
<br />
Even if you can't spare the money, you can still join us this weekend and cheer us on as we livestream our gaming to the masses! I will be <a href="http://www.livestream.com/massivelytv">livestreaming my gaming on Massively TV</a>, while Beau will be <a href="http://www.livestream.com/beauturkeytv">streaming on his own channel, Beau Turkey TV</a>. The madness begins at 9:00 a.m EDT for Beau and me, but you can drop by at any time that day to watch us and cheer us on!<br />
<br />
Please contribute if you can. Every amount helps, and your donations will help give kids an extra life in their fight!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/10/11/extra-life-extravaganza-donate-to-and-watch-our-24-hours-of-l/">Extra Life extravaganza: Donate to (and watch) our 24 hours of live marathon MMO gaming</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 11 Oct 2010 15:00:00 EST.

Not only are we here at Massively passionate about covering the news, but we also deliver on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/featured">unique and original content</a>. We're out in the trenches interviewing developers, talking about our favorite games, getting inside our games and meeting the community, and giving you our perspectives on the MMO industry. Sometimes you agree with us, sometimes you don't, but we'll keep writing as long as you guys lend us your support and keep reading.<br />
<br />
This year was a real breakout year for our original content as we had a bunch of our features rock the traffic charts higher than our news. So, in the spirit of a banner year, it's time to run down the list and name our top five features for 2009.<br />

<div align="left">No, you're not hallucinating. That is, indeed, a new name under the column title, but it's still the same insane editor behind the typing. Starting today, you'll be seeing <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/seraphina-brennan/">Seraphina Brennan</a> instead of Colin Brennan on all of my articles, thanks to the power invested in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/shawn-schuster">Shawn Schuster</a> and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/elizabeth-harper">Liz Harper</a> to grant name changes. If you're a little confused as to why the change, then feel free to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/24/anti-aliased-virtual-worlds-as-the-great-equalizer/">check out this Anti-Aliased</a> where I go into detail.<br /><br />But enough of that! On to today's topic! This morning, we here at Massively got an e-mail from avid reader JP, asking all of us if we planned on sticking with <a href="http://www.champions-online.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">Champions Online</span></a> after playing the game for one month. A great question, if I do say so myself!<br /><br />So great, in fact, that I'm using my column to talk about it. (Also because I had no idea what to write about this week. Thanks for the assistance JP!) The other members of the staff will be doing their impressions as well, but I do believe they're saving them for a later date. So, without any further stalling, let's get talking on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/champions-online"><span style="font-style: italic;">Champions</span></a>!<br /></div>
