The MMO Times: 30 Years of Mario

StormtroopaIssue 131: If you’re like me, you might be feeling a little old when you realize that 1985 was the year the world was introduced to an Italian plumber on 1985-Mariothe proverbial damsel-in-distress quest. Super Mario Brothers turned 30 this week and, for me, that was the game that started it all. It’s unfortunate that we lost Satoru Iwata too soon so that he can see the world celebrate one of the most iconic video games in history. Even Google, of course, got in on the action, as documented by Kotaku (a great way to annoy your co-workers).

This is still an MMO post and MMOs are what we will talk about but homage should be paid where homage is due. There is a new title entering a beta (of sorts) called Otherland that you might be interested in checking out. Destiny’s new trailer is definitely something to checkout (especially if you didn’t watch any NFL this weekend). StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void also has a new cinematic for your drooling viewing pleasure. Blizzard has dropped some new Overwatch hints and HotS goodies. So take a break from some Mario nostalgia (if you actually have a functioning NES) and check out what’s new in MMOs this week. KCGO.

The MMO Times: Habemus Novum Content

mmotimesheaderIssue 67: “We Have New Content!” World of Warcraft’s 5.2 patch is officially in full swing. This past week was the first week when the new raid, Throne of Thunder, became available for the games LFR system (giving raiding guilds an opportunity to experience the new raid content first). But enough about World of Warcraft, that isn’t the only cool game out there right now with new content.

In this issue, which is a bit overdue, has more details about the upcoming China MMO Age of Wushu, some information on the new title Defiance, even some information about Lord of the Rings Online, which I don’t talk about much. There is also some content news for The Secret World and some double experience in the near future for SWTOR players. Check it out!
