We've released our 20th show, which has some rambling about news and cutting edge reviews of Warhammer Online and A Tale in the Desert. I suspect one of us didn't read the brief again. You can grab it from the usual place, Virginworlds.com.

It's a bit early on in the life of Warhammer for me to have alt-itis isn't it? One population inspired alt later and I have an order character on another server, a rather unoriginal Dwarf Engineer because I never play ranged characters in these games. I'm on an RP server but you'd never tell from the utter lack of chatter that I've encountered so far. One reason for starting a Dwarf was to see the areas I've seen from the other point of view, and beating up the Orks who I'd previously been helping attack has shown that this...

My last post was rather positive about WAR, but this one will be less so. I spent a large chunk of the evening with RvR as my primary goal, which means sitting in long waiting lists and trying to take a very stubborn cannon away from those stunties to push back and throw that balance back into favour of the much more appropriate red colour. Tenacious little stunties made that rather hard without a larger organised force, which wasn't forthcoming and so got rather dull rather quickly. This meant I spent a lot of time in a waiting list for a...

Yes, it's official. I'm claiming that warhammer has had the worse launch ever. Conan had a brilliant launch following an outstanding public beta, and I'm still milking Anarchy Online for it's best launch of any game ever. They've kept us, as a community, supplied with material to complain about for years! What am I meant to moan about as warhammer didn't have any major problems. Servers filling up? Can't really fault them for that as it's the players all going to the same servers. Long waits for RvR scenarios? Players again as there are too many destruction. How...

With the release of Warhammer Online it's becoming obvious that a lot of people also have a love for the IP and still play (or are being drawn to) Warhammer as a tabletop game. I don't believe in mixing topics on a blog so I've branched out to a parallel blog to cover my warhammer tabletop adventures. You can find it over here. I'll be updating it with pictures of my painting, battle reports and the usual ramblings that surround the hobby as I start off rebuilding my Ork army for 40k. My Dwarf army for fantasy will have to...

I've not announced a new podcast here for a while, but I can rectify that now. Van Hemlock Episode 19 is now posted, and we talk about PvP. Everybody please tell us why we're wrong and what we've missed :)

Bioshock will need an install on the PS3 it seems: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/10/bioshock-ps3-install-takes-10-minutes-4.98gb/ Now let me get this straight. In order to play you need to install a DVD worth of content onto the HD. The game also looks 100% the same as the 360 version and doesn't contain any new content that will take up any considerable extra space. So what they're saying is that they're putting the whole game on the HD because blu-ray is too slow. Don't get me wrong, this isn't just a knock on the PS3, I think that the 360 DVDs...
