Loading... it's like always grouping with your best friends.
A while back we ran a story about the demise of Star Trek Online, Gods and Heroes and Perpetual Entertainment which had resulted in a lawsuit from one of their PR firms, Kohnke Communications. Today we have this,
"We f*@$ing hate Perpetual Entertainment. We are going to sue them until blood flows from the stones that their grandchildren are using as tools to build their mud huts. The mud huts that we own. " - Fake Kohnke PR Person
Ok, they really said this,
"Both parties have reached an agreement and the lawsuit has been
dismissed."Sean Kauppinen,
Vice President -
Kohnke Communications
So, there you have it. Problem solved and oh... little (well informed) birds have told me that Cryptic Studios now controls the Star Trek Online licence. That's good news in my books.
More good news is the return of Coyote with "21 Gaming Terms You Never Knew You Knew". I especially like,
What comes after the jump
"Trappy Ending - The evil satisfaction and mischievous giggle you get in telling your group or guild leader that the exquisite chest is disarmed when in reality, it isn't. Hehe. Boom."
If only I had the ability to take the voices in my head that make me laugh all day and let them do the writing...then I could deliver like Coyote. Well played sir! Well played!
I noticed that neither he, RadarX or Cody "I'm here then I'm gone" Bye posted in the Ten Ton Community Guild thread, yet a few of you poked your noggins into the fray. Congratulations to the Loading... community members as they have posted nearly as many thought wrenching ditties as the entire EQ2 community, yet our forum has only been around for a couple of months. Insert big foam "We're #1" finger here. I'll let you decide which finger denotes the "1".
Funcom also deserves a #1 finger. It seems like they have taken over this column the last two weeks. Credit where credit is due. They have given us so much new Age of Conan information lately that the game has become the undisputed #1 tracked title on our network. It has more eyes watching it than either World of Warcraft or Warhammer Online. Congratulations Funcom! That is no small accomplishment. The latest out of AoC includes,
- Age of Conan: Hands-On Preview - Sanctum of the Burning Souls [Video] [Premium Video]
- Age of Conan: Funcom Site Tour #1 - Motion Capture Studio [Video] [Premium Video]
- Age of Conan: Hands-On with the Demonologist in the Sanctum of Burning Souls
As cool as all of this heads rolling, slashing and smashing is I have something even cooler. You can now own your very own virtual Ten Ton Hammer. Dungeon Runners now has the best item you have ever had the good fortune to loot, a Ten Ton Hammer. Check out the screenshot and download the client for free. Imagine how the ladies will swoon when you show them your Ten Ton Hammer.
Age of Conan: big hit or big waste of time? Hit the Loading... forums and start an argument.
Do you feel the need to contact me personally with naughty pictures? Here's my E-mail.
