So the BG Free Company has been busy. We have 3 total coil groups in the FC, 2 of which have started, one of which is very lazy and really really really likes crafting. All is going well and were having a blast! Below is a writeup for our first coil group, the ever lovable and sometimes annoying Galkas Are Food!

Why Valve is awesome: A story about being lucky.

By Ddz



I’m not exactly sure where to start this incredible story about being lucky as shit, but here goes, from the top:

Last year, on the day before Thanksgiving, my software development/IT staffing company let us off work early. We had no travel plans for the holiday, so a few coworkers and I decided to go to our favorite dive bar, where we pretty much regular every Friday night. We were sitting there enjoying some cheap booze and nerding …

The Order had a triumphant finish to its head start weekend for TERA, culminating in a coordinated attack in a Guild vs Guild war on Crimson Knights. Last night we posed in a triumphant screenshot on the beach and took a picture!





More adventure to come as the game lets us uncap our levels, power to 60, and begin not letting Gekii lose us wars because he dueled outside of town too long.

Listen, EME, we get it, closed beta test. Its cool, we understand how much work you have to do to get the game ready for launch. We know the PVP system is only partially implemented. We actually really enjoyed stomping the shit out of the two guilds who declared war on us, we didnt enjoy when the server reset and the stats were reset, only to have us lose the wars via them getting one kill. But hey its beta. A few of us got unjustly ganked by capped level players who didnt have anything el…

What happened indeed.

At a little before 3pm EST on Friday the 10th, Chrian messaged me on Steam. I looked at his message, wondering why he was sending me one, usually he waits, with perfect timing, for me to start watching a movie or tv show, to fire up a game either on steam or on another service, then sends me several cryptic messages, usually involving minecraft, ragns being ragns, or some equally strange topic, but it never fails, its always during something. He told me, with his little …

This is a different game you've played before. In the thought process of making a Gears of War clone, Inxile Entertainment and Bethesda had the idea that few have been able to get coded properly. "Let's use swords and bows instead of guns and chainsaws!" Thus is born Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

In Hunted you play as E'Lara, who I will simply refer to as Elara. You can also technically play as Caddoc, but nobody is going to play as him. Elara is a scantily clad elf chick, and in this univers…

TERA: The Exiled Realm of Arborea



Aion was several things: beautiful, different, and a welcome change to our normal MMO grind flavor of FFXI and WoW. The problem with Aion is that the grind turned out to be the entire game, one that left this terrifying taste in many of our mouths. I've spoke with former Aion players who shudder at the thought of another Korean MMO. They run back to FFXI in Abyssea easy mode or flock to WoW to be disappointed in Cataclysm, all the while saying 'A…
