Cloverfield
Just a quick note. If you liked Cloverfield, you are an idiot. You are likely the source of all the problems this species is facing. If you’ve had doubts before, now you know. Yes, it is you.

Predictions for 2008 - MMO’s
It’s a new year, and time for a new slew of predictions about this year’s upcoming MMOs! These prognostications are lovingly brought to you this week after drearily reviewing the “Coming Soon” list at ebgames. There’s a lot of stuff coming down the pike, and there are going to be a healthy dose of flops, you can bet your patootie.
Rightyo then, on with the show!
Age of Conan: Anyone know if this is in beta 1, beta 2, beta pre-release or alpha? I don’t think I’ve ever had a more difficult time buying into the fiction and then wanting to get involved in a beta community. The pure exclusionary tactics and promise of blood and nudity might serve as a Cartman-land style artificial bump to demand. Who knows, with a solid core of PvP and a dedication to fiction, AoC might offer a welcome alternative.
Aion: This is where that psychotic crap that Garriott left out of the first iteration of Tabula Rasa went. Angels and demons in outer space? Apart from the aesthetic, a likely bomb.
ArchLord: Try again, SunSword. Voted most likely to be eaten by SOE or cancelled outright.
Dungeon Runners: Fun, low min-spec, surprisingly replayable. Spend some time with content and Dungeon Runners might cut into that covetted Runescape market.
