Level Up 2.0: Autoplay Annoyance, Splash Page, No RSS

Oh my God, do my eyes and ears deceive me? Is that an autoplaying video on Level Up’s new homepage?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: homepage autoplay is annoying! At least FHM learned their lesson. Click here to continue reading “Level Up 2.0: Autoplay Annoyance, Splash Page, No RSS”…

Happy Wintersday!

I’m celebrating the sanitized Saturnalia you call Christmas in the game world of Guild Wars, where we call it something more straightforward: Wintersday.

This Christmas, forget the fairy tales about Santa Claus and Baby Jesus. Saint Nicholas of Myra is long dead, and the philosopher Jesus of Nazareth was born in September. Celebrate this Holiday Season for what it has always been since the days when winter gave people an excuse to break free from the daily grind of working in the fields, long before the Christian church and big business bastardized and exploited it: a time to cast off the yoke of social norms, a time to go wild.

In other words, it’s time to play.
