MMO Population Problems
Computers keep getting more powerful. So why do the population caps for massively multiplayer games stay about the same?
Twelve Years
Even allegedly smart people can make life-changing blunders that seem very, very obvious in retrospect.
Stop Asking Me to Play Dark Souls!
An unhinged rant where I maybe slightly over-reacted to the water torture of Souls evangelism.
Project Frontier
A programming project where I set out to make a gigantic and complex world from simple data.
A Star is Born
Remember the superhero MMO from 2009? Neither does anyone else. It was dumb. So dumb I was compelled to write this.
Is some fighters and rangers getting outsmarted by a Lich King really that embarrassing?
If I remember right, Liches got quite a bit of an INT boost, while that’s a dump stat for fighters and rangers (probably especially these PCs).
Apart from mindless Zombies and Skeletons (which these don’t seem to be), do the undead really have a reputation for not being clever?
Shamus would agree. Gilbert, the Lich from Witch Watch, was a pretty clever guy.
He’s not really a Lich. He’s a ghost. Or a wraith. Or a spectre? Or… who has the Monster Manual on hand?
There is something about that line that has always sat very funny with me. “We built the place. And we can walk through walls.” You know, because they’re dead. Idiot. It works on so many levels to me.
