Here are a few tidbits that caught my attention for one reason or another this week:
- “One MMO minute: Sixty milliseconds. The time it takes to do ‘one last thing, it’ll just take a minute’ that results in you waking your partner two hours later when you try to sneak sheepishly into bed.” – Melmoth, The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once, Killed in a Smiling Accident.
- “Finally, “extreme sports” and “even fashion” should never, ever be allowed in the same room together, lest they get into a cat fight and you have to bring out the fire hose.” – Syp, Funcom: We Double-Dog Dare You To Take Us Seriously, Bio Break.
- “Aside from making me a very sad panda, this also puts a crimp on my role as healing lead.” – Amber, Raid from Hell, I Like Bubbles. [Bronte: I never understood why the healer is almost never given raid assist.]
- “Before selling his soul to the mouse, famed designer Warren Spector was working on a “spiritual successor” to Deus Ex.” – Kristin Spencer, Spector still has Deus Ex stories to tell, That Videogame Blog.
- “I just hope that Cryptic will continue and put enough effort into new content to let it have a high quality without too much interference from reality and commercial conditions.” – Sente, Blood Moon flawed event design?, A Ding World. [Bronte: Unlikely, but the foundations of our very existence rest on hope.]
- “Perhaps they’re concerned that players who called their bluff on the original deadline will be even less inclined to change their minds and resubscribe for a worse deal than they could have gotten last week – such is the peril of the high-pressure pre-order.” – Green Armadillo, The Great LOTRO Coverup?, Player vs. Developer.
- “The controls for the vehicles are almost too responsive, I find myself over correcting a lot. I am also struggling with steering; the left thumbstick moves you forward and reverse, the right thumbstick controls left and right steering.” – Jayedub, Borderlands, Dub’s Diatribe. [Bronte: My sentiments EXACTLY!]
