  1. In the latest of an ongoing series of interviews with MMORPG.com, Mythic Entertainment VP and General Manager Mark Jacobs has dropped big news on the Warhammer Online fanbase: major features are being culled from the game in order to make their Fall launch deadline. In short, the capital cities for the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf factions will not be in the game at launch. The Human city of Altdorf and the Chaos Inevitable City will be the only Capital cities in the game. This is an enormous change, seemingly changing much of what we know about the game's core of RvR gameplay.

     

    Additionally, four classes are being removed, deemed to be in a condition unsuitable for launch. They are:

     

    * The Choppa (Greenskin)

    * The Hammerer (Dwarf)

    * The Blackguard (Dark Elf)

    * The Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire)

     

    As the website notes, all of these are melee classes and two of these were intended to be the primary tanking classes for their race. This leaves the Empire and Dark Elf races without a dedicated tanking career, possibly limiting their contributions to end-game PvE content. Jacobs moved immediately to try to curtail the obvious rumor-mongering: "This has nothing to do with EA ... they had zero input in this ... They don't even know about it. It's not a discussion we would have with them."

    4 out of 6 capital cities and 4 major classes cut just before launch? This could be a crippling blow to the so-far impressive looking MMO.

    Here are the first photos of Lips for Xbox 360 developed by Japanese studio iNiS. Scheduled for November 2008, this new karaoke game will be playable with two wireless interactive microphones that react with the player movements and voice. You can also see that the microphones will have light indicators. We hope to get more information of Lips during E3.

    See, here's the thing. I love karaoke. And I love iNiS (they made Ouendan). But I am not buying anything with a splash half as gay as that. The word 'lame' must not exist at their graphics department. Fix it, Microsoft!

     

    The mics certainly look good, assuming they're real, but this game has a way to go before it can toe-to-toe it with SingStar methinks.

  3. I've used HDL 0.8b with the GoW patch, without the GoW patch, in all variety of MDMA and UMDA speeds but it doesn't work.

     

    I have to use Mode 3 to get it to boot at all, but the other modes don't seem to have any affact.

     

    I still haven't beaten my record of 1 match without a crash yet.

  4. They've always said there would likely be a new trilogy of Halo games, as a prequel series to the original, and not featuring Master Chief.

     

    What about the secret ending on Legendary where you see Master Chief's ship floating towards a huge unknown planet? Doesn't that ending suggest there will be games featuring him in the future? :(

     

    Did you seriously just spoil the ending of Halo 3 for me? :(

  5. Yesterday was the up there with the top 5 worst days of my life. I hate my job. I hate the work itself, hate the 1hour+ travel time, hate the people (most of), hate the hostile / oppressive environment, hate the management, hate how just going to work spoils my mood for days / weeks at a time, hate how it is ruining my life outside work. Being sick as a dog yesterday just made it worse.

     

    No wonder I'm such a cranky bastard this year. I should really quit. I hate that the security of having a job costs me so much.

  6. I come here to loosen up, but instead feel like I'm stepping on people's toes when I do. I dunno- I consider it 'sensible' to shut up whenever I see a pointless 1-line response and am about to scream. At least I still have 1 other games forum where things aren't as asinine. Fanboys and morons on the net still get to me, and while I know the net is not serious business, I feel like I've grown out of most of the bs.

     

    And yeh LSD jump on tonight whenever. I guess still no UT3? I'm hooked as a monkey on that atm.
