Posted on Sep 16, 2010

Game developers sure know how to stir up a community.  All a company has to do to get its already excitable fanbase to froth at the mouth, come out at weird hours and basically act rabid, is to announce major changes to combat.  Even if the changes are meant to correct combat issues like responsiveness

Posted on Sep 05, 2010

Fellow Lorehounds, I am here to once again be the bringer of fun. PAX Day 2 started off with a bang with the special “Media Only” Hour for the Expo Hall, allowing iTZKooPA to try Dragon Age 2 and select other games. For me, it was Star Wars: The Old Republic access without fighting lines

First Impressions: Thoughts On Fallen Earth

Posted on Aug 30, 2010

I’ll be splitting this into two posts: First one will be opinionated, and the second will be informative. For those who disagree or agree with what I have to say, feel free to post in the comments. I should admit, I’ve been “brainwashed” by Blizzard in to thinking what an MMOG is, how it should

Fallen Earth August ‘State of the Game’ Details Upcoming Patches

Posted on Aug 27, 2010

These so-called ‘State of the Game’ addresses are a fantastic way for developers to talk about a product.  Most of them focus on the future, rather than the current incarnation, but any straight talk from a developer, be it producer or writer, is a godsend for players.  Few addresses are truly notable, but the latest

New Fallen Earth Developers Named; Blood Sports Patch Dated

Posted on Apr 23, 2010

It’s taken the company a few weeks, but Fallen Earth finally has a replacement in line for the departing Lee Hammock.  My main gripe of Fallen Earth’s most recent State of the Game address was that the company didn’t layout any restructuring plans.  It was just a goodbye, brush-it-under-the-table, nothing-to-see-here mention.  Now players can finally rest easy

Fallen Earth: Lead Game Designer Lee Hammock Departing

Posted on Apr 06, 2010

Coming out of left field yesterday was the announcement that Lee Hammock, the man who helped shape Fallen Earth into the burgeoning MMOG that it is today, will be leaving the company.  Lee was a part of the Fallen Earth team for over four years.  He was staple in community shenanigans, helped shape the humor of the
