Still crazy after all these years.

WRUP: Things you are probably typing incorrectly edition

72
Dungeons and Dragons: This is incorrect. The title should always be spelled with an ampersand. Whopper Juniors: Thanks to an overly pedantic joke I will never not know that this should properly be written "Whoppers Junior," and now you will never be able to not see that either, so ha ha ha. Live-action Lion King remake: As there are no living...

The Daily Grind: Which online game has a personality that mirrors yours?

19
Intentionally designed or not, every MMO and online game exudes a personality, and no two are exactly alike. It might be the cheerful anarchy of Trove, the crisp aloofness of EVE Online, the future rockstar vibe of WildStar, or the whimsical childishness of Glitch, but personalities are there. And, I think, they matter more than most people realize. A personality...

The Stream Team: How ’bout those Warframe TennoCon announcements?

1
Did you hear that?! There was plenty of Warframe goodness announced at TennoCon last weekend, and Massively OP's MJ is excited to discuss it all with you. Which part are you looking forward to most? Is it the railjacks, or the mysterious Duviri Paradox? Or did you just want to sneak and and nab those floofs and run away...
Blessed not be.

Betawatch: Bless Unleashed brings players around for another beta weekend

1
You know, Bless Unleashed has a bit of an uphill road to manage at the moment. It doesn't just have to fix bugs for its closed betas (which it has been doing); it has to convince players that this one is going to be enough different from... well, the PC version of the game. Still, it has a closed...

If isometric online games that aren't quite true MMOs are your thing, then this is a good week for you. We've got so many to cover right now we're gonna round 'em up right here. First up? Grim Dawn. Crate Entertainment is promising a major update for its optionally online ARPG in July, focused mostly on quality-of-life upgrades, including auto-looting,...

Google DeepMind is dispatching an AI to face EU StarCraft II players in the name of science

3
So far, I'm not afraid of the Singularity happening if the best AI can do is translate things horribly and create stumbling idiots for robots. Still, research into advancing AI presses on, and StarCraft II is looking to do its part by pitting Google's DeepMind AI against players of the RTS in the EU area. The announcement of DeepMind's arrival...

TennoCon 2019: The Warframe community raised $250,000 CAN for Canadian Mental Health Association

5
What better way to wrap up TennoCon 2019 than with a shout out and hearty thanks to the generosity of Digital Extremes and Warframe players? You guys rock! A key component of TennoCon since its inception in 2016 is to donate ticket sale proceeds to a local charity. This year, the studio is giving $250,000 CAD raised to Canadian...

Tuesday, July 16th, will bring Patch 11 to the online sandbox survival title, offering up a number of quality-of-life things for those roaming the wastes.

Project C updates pre-alpha testers on its summer plans, including creatures and contracts

1
We had a flurry of panic this week when checking in on Project C, but let me just soothe those worries right now: The game is still happening; Darewise just changed its Twitter handles, and it seems most of the studio's communication - and there's a lot of it! - is happening in the depths of Discord. MMO players will...
