10 new MMOG articles today. For those of you keeping score that's 137 pieces of MMOG entertainment that you can't find anywhere else, built just for you this month. No other network comes close.

I try to reply to every e-mail that I receive, good or bad, nasty, naughty or nice. Apparently there was a wave of cosmic consciousness this past weekend that prompted each and every reader of Loading... to ask two friends to write me an e-mail. I can't respond to all four of you, so here is your Thank You letter,

Dear Loading... Reader,

Thank you for spending time that could have spent with your family writing to me. Though some would claim that your decision making process is suspect, I can assure you that you made the correct choice.

Your family won't appreciate the effort as much as I do. What they will appreciate is if you ask, "Is dinner ready?" at least 20 times in five minutes, before 9:00am . Grabbing the remote and swapping the channel randomly while they are watching a favourite show is also a great way to start a family discussion. We don't talk enough any more. Better yet, after changing the channel stuff the remote into your underwear.

In closing, I remain curious how you managed to create an e-mail that looked like one of those ransom notes that have the letters cut from magazines and newspapers. Do tell!

Massively multiplayeringly yours,

John "Boomjack" Hoskin

Fury launches tomorrow. If you haven't tried it, think Hexen meets Unreal Tournament meets something altogether new. I'll be grabbing a copy, elevating my adrenaline and making you cry. Look for Boomjack. If you can't find me, then just look up at the top of the scoreboard.

I leave you with this tidbit by Damion Schubert. Nine Ways to Misuse Bartle's Four.

Discuss.
