1. Daily Column

Thanks to everyone who has posted in the blog or mailed me their requests for which game I "reintroduce" myself to next month. The tally so far is as follows:

EQ2 - 47
GW - 42
Vanguard - 33
EQ - 18
CoH/CoV - 7
DDO - 4

My reacquaintance with EVE Online continued over the weekend, though I'm stuck in a 13 day training cycle which in hindsight wasn't such a brilliant idea as it will carry past the end of the month. Ah well, it sheds light on the fact that there are distinct plateaus in the EVE Online training system where you are locked into the skills you know for long periods of time.

The industry has gone quiet. Is this Tokyo Game Show effect? A piece of news that I didn't want to read was the Gods and Heroes launch delay. I was excited to jump into this mythological masterpiece this fall, but it isn't going to happen. See you in 2008. Fortunately, we do have an interview with Travis George for fans who can't get enough of GnH.
