(Long overdue) Off-Week Update (5-26-2013)
Ok, I have some serious catching up to do, as I haven’t done an official one of these in a while, mostly because of the complaints I was receiving for doing something I’ve been doing since this site’s inception. Let’s get the old, OLD stuff out of the way, quickly.
- Episode 39: SMITE
I love SMITE, even if I don’t get to play it all that often. I fully understand why someone wouldn’t like it, if they’re more used to something like DOTA 2 or League of Legends. HOWEVER, I do have words for the insipid behavior and attitudes of the MOBA crowd but that rant will be rekindled in time. - Episode 40: Age of Conan
While I respect what Funcom was trying to do here, and though I did find the shield defense system interesting for a point-and-click system, I didn’t really have my interest held. I’m honestly quite glad I didn’t buy this game when it was new, or I would have been right back with Argent Exodus and looking shamefully upon the abandoned title on our hard drive, wondering exactly why we left WoW for it in the first place. I deleted this as soon as the video was over. - Episode 41: Hawken
It’s a fun “play for a while” but I fully get why people don’t dig the aesthetic. It’s really, REALLY depressing. I’m glad that the MWO vs. Hawken crowd seems to have died off though, with both sides understanding that their games aren’t even remotely similar beyond the mech-combat angle. - Sidequest: World of Warplanes
Did you hear about this game called War Thunder? I’m not sure of you heard of it considering it was pretty hard to miss with nearly every comment on all three platforms I posted this video on telling me about it. Again, this boils down to the ever baffling aspect of internet communities: Call someone out for comparing one title to another, IMMEDIATELY compare one title to another when no comparison was made. Sweet lord, make up your minds. I’ve played and messed with War Thunder a bit, and while I’ll admit it’s got a lot more going for it, the fervor is seriously putting me off on looking at it right now.
Ok, now on to the more involved discussion of more relative and spoken about titles…
Age of Wushu Code Giveaway and Guild Info
For those of you not in the know, I am rather enthralled by Age of Wushu. If you haven’t seen the review yet, feel free to check it out and see just how crazy the game can get. If you were or are convinced to give the game a shot, I have some codes to provide for you from Snail Games themselves. While I do have a LOT of codes to provide, they are in limited supply, so get them while you can.
In order to obtain these codes, fill out the following questions and send them to my email address (mmogrinder@live.com) and I will reply with your code, and instructions on how redeem them. These codes are for the “Searing Viper Gift Pack” so if you’ve redeemed any sort of giveaway codes from Age of Wushu before, you may not be able to use these codes. Fair Warning.
- Character Name in Age of Wushu
- Server in Age of Wushu
- School or intended School in Age of Wushu
- Are you interesting in joining the MMO Grinder guild?
While your answers to these questions will not effect whether or not I will grant you the codes, it’s really so I can be sure you are capable of paying attention to directions, as this game and the code redemption process isn’t exactly forgiving to those who aren’t. Again, to recieve your code, please send the question answers to mmogrinder@live.com and use the subject “WUSHU” so I know why you are emailing me. (This also applies to those who would, for whatever reason, get sent to my spam filter. I will reply to you with the instructions and the content of the pack, as well as the code. These codes only work ONCE so if you try mailing me for several codes on only one of your characters, you’re SOL.
Guild info for Age of Wushu is as follows:
- Server: BlackTortoise
- Guild Name: Grindstone
- Guild Leader: Xanthier (Me)
- Vice Leaders: Maolai and DoctorKen
You can apply to the guild via the Guild Administrator NPC in many towns and schools. Keep in mind you might need to be a certain level before the game will let you join. Hope to see you in game! (When I get a chance to play, that is.)
