The MMO Times: It’s E3 Week!

VaderProfile2013May610Issue 119:  E3 was this week in sunny California, what goodies were in store for us? Speaking of “store”, don’t forget that the Steam ‘Monster’ Summer Sale ends on the 21st (Father’s Day – which I don’t think is a coincidence … just sayin 😉 ). Despite the fact that this is usually a post about MMORPGs, usually during big conventions I make an exception so there are going to be posts about games that are not MMOs. 

I think several of these companies are as excited to tell us their news as we are to hear it. Bathesda rocked our world with their E3 presentation and E3 didn’t even officially begin until June 16th. BioWare has some “leaked” news about SWTOR, Microsoft making some big announcements for X-Box, Sony has a surprise too about a beloved franchise, and many, many more things. I’m sure E3 this year has given all of us gaming nerds strange tingling feelings in our special places. What was your favorite E3 moment? KCGO

The MMO Times: There’s A QuakeCon??

Issue 85Issue 85: Apparently there is a convention called QuakeCon which is considered the largest LAN party in North America! Awesome name, perfect for this type of convention. It was held in Dallas, Texas at the Hilton Anatole. I’d be curious if anyone has attended it because it sounds like a lot of fun. Also in the news is Blizzard’s decision to move away from subscription based MMOs with its new Titan game, whenever that is released. I’m sure removing the payment model was part of the redesign of the game.

There are quite a few videos available in this issue associated with updates for Elder Scrolls, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV. There are also some new Aion updates as a result of a player design contest. Capcom has a treat for PS4 folks. Enjoy!
