LittleBigPlanet, KindaEpicFail

Why would I buy a PS3 just to play MGS4, or a Gears of War 2 knock-off (not that GoW2 is anymore original), or a significantly repetitive RPG, or possibly a customizable platforming game? I think the reason it didn't sell, is because a lot...

Yahtzee is a huge troll, to be honest. Speaks the truth on a lot of things in games, though.

Varied Faction conduct

To be honest, when you make an MMO, there's going to generally be a large amount of people (lol) and the 12 player limit to give the whole "crew" feeling from the movies just wasn't going to cut it. I'm sure they implemented the Faction cr...

Interview with Keanu Reeves

It definitely ties in with the whole "full circle/savior/martyr" theme if the main character dies in the end. Of course that doesn't leave out Reincarnation. :o

I'm The Minority

The CR1-CR2 or Lith-SOE transition have been a reason to a lot of people I've met in other games for saying, "Oh yeah, I've played MxO. They changed it a long time ago and now it's dead." Sort of like the SWG thing. I just kind of feel lik...

Storage Issue

Changing the inventory space would mean editting the UI. Last I heard, that was a no-touch zone in the evalarchivedatabankz that MxO rests in.

Being the thru-street neighborhood inbetween the two of the busiest streets in the city, which obviously means after 10pm you're allowed to smash the accelerator on your motor-bike to race down our street like you were drag-racing, awright.
