Links Before the Holidays

As is my tradition, I will be taking a short break from blogging over the holidays. I expect to be back at it late this month or perhaps early in the new year, depending on how I feel.

My Sith warrior in Star Wars: The Old RepublicComing up when I return: A journey through the remaining class stories in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a review of season two of Glitch, and much more.

To tide you over during the break, I’ve got a few more articles up at MMO Bro. First, I take a look at the best non-fantasy MMO settings, for those weirdos who prefer space ships and superheroes over Elves and wizards. Then, I rank some of the best MMOs for solo players, for those of us who aren’t always social butterflies.

Also, if all goes according to plan, Moiren will be doing her annual Lovecraftian Christmas caroling livestream tonight at 9PM Eastern. It’s basically the only holiday tradition I have these days, so I’ll be tuning in.

It’s beginning to look a lot like fishmen…

I wish all of my readers a happy winter solstice. May you be spared the predations of Krampus and the wrath of Robot Santa for another year.

What Makes MMOs Special and Other New Articles

I’ve had a few more articles published on MMO Bro for you to check out. First, I take a break from the usual negativity that so many in the community (myself included) tend to get bogged down in to take a look at what is good in MMORPGs.

A Blood Elf paladin in World of Warcraft: LegionI imagine most people reading this blog already have their own views on what makes MMOs special, but if you’re more of a single-player person, or not a gamer at all, this article can perhaps help you understand the appeal.

In other news, I also take a look at the rather bizarre history of Dark and Light, and I eulogize a number of noteworthy MMOs that died too young.
