8 new MMOG articles to start November off right! We also have a new comic posted, enjoy "Guild Bank".

In less amusing news, Blizzard is hiring for a super-secret-happy-fun-time MMOG development team. If you have "integrated an off-the-shelf physics package" and who hasn't, then get your resume in straight away!

In more amusing news the Loading... forum is rolling along with the first thread already crashing through the five-page mark. Vin Diesel has returned! I offered up a prize for one of the posters, but I'm going to dip into my swag-bag and offer up a few more. I've got WoW T-shirts compliments of Blizzard to dole out. Thanks Blizz! Get posting. No goodies until we reach 2,000 posts. I can't give out rewards for a community that is smaller than the one living in "Forum Help". It's embarrassing.

I'm a bit late, but congratulations to Curt Schilling who is probably the first MMOG developer to win a World Series. You can read Curt's blog and that of Steve Danuser to learn even more.

Hellgate: London arrives in game boutiques and box stores today. It's not truly a MMOG, but it is a close enough cousin that I'm going to grab it and give it the prom date treatment.

Movie Quote of the day: "That is a perfectly good mini Christmas tree. We are going to sell that to charity because that is what Christmas is all about. " Name that movie. Your answer goes here.

Question of the day: Skill based (like EVE or Asheron's Call) or level based (like WoW or EQ2). Which system do you prefer?
