There has been hype of all kinds the last few years in PC Gaming. I have embraced some of it (See SWTOR, Skyrim, Arkham City), and have avoided others (League of Legends, Minecraft, Dungeons of Dreadmore). LoL is the perfect example of one that I have not entirely avoided on purpose. Although I am not […]

This week is vacation week for the GeekJock and also the first time I have been back home to Long Island in prob. 3 years. As I am sure most people are tired of hearing about, the whole working overnight thing had gotten in the way a bit and I wasn’t able to get back […]

Another great interview brought to us from Gamespot.com. They show us some in game footage from Warhammer 40K Space Marine. It’s a third person shooting fighting romp set in the hyper violent world of Warhammer 40K, where there is an unlimited supply of Orks and humans walk around in 7 foot tall armor and cannot […]

So this morning while I was finishing up at work, I checked my mail and saw the official mail from SWTOR…. Pre-Order is live! I was pretty excited to see that the rumors about it were true. Well, excited about it all except for that nice 150$ pricetag for the ultimate collector’s edition and that […]

I was listening to one of the most recent episodes of the great podcast “The Instance”, when Turpster, “Dills” and Scott all seemed to have differing opinions on the idea of PVP in MMOs. A caller said he made a character on a PVP server b/c a friend played there. However, he has since grown […]
