Issue 58: Greetings Gamers! This will be the last pre-apocalyptic and pre-Christmas issue so I hope you enjoy the headlines because they could be your last (or the last for this year). So if you’re waiting on a queue, the servers are down for maintenance or you are taking a break from making Armageddon plans check out what we have this week.
We have some new content coming to The Secret World and SWTOR. Some more information on upcoming titles such as Age of Wushu and Marvel Heroes. There is also some interesting news about an old MMO coming back online (which I don’t think has ever happened before). Perhaps an encouraging sign for other MMOs that we have lost over the past couple of years. There is this and more so read on and game on, friends!
(I also provide The MMO Times in an e-mail. If you are interested in receiving the e-mail version please click here to subscribe.)
What in the hell has gotten into people?!? Two shootings within the span of a week and one of which was at an elementary school. The only reason I can come up with as to why these monsters are doing these horrific things is they are among the loonies that think the world is going to end this Friday. I mean, if the world is going to end then clearly there are no consequences for your actions so I guess you can literally “get away with murder”.
I’m not going to tell you why I think the world is not ending on 12.21.12 because 1) what I think doesn’t amount to much anyway and 2) I would just be regurgitating everything else NASA and other scientists and pundits have already explained. If the world actually does end on the 21st, which I will bet my entire salary that it won’t, then there isn’t much I can do about it so what is the point in panicking.
