    Congratulations?

  • Joe

    This requires IRC and popcorn.

  • Jackbequick

    Party time!

  • Elrond Hubbard

    Demanding liveblog.

    It’s time for a new style of review. Live streaming video + audio commentary as you play!

    MACRO TO VICTORY LUM

  • Vetarnias

    We also demand regular posts on the Darkfall forums to bait Teh Hardcorez.

    Ah, Lum is tempted by the Power of the Dark Side…

    My offer to sponsor you into the KGB is still open, Lum. Don’t spend too much time on newbie quests, and make your way up to Andruk, the city of the KGB…

    Taxi to victory, medieval style?

    Given the existing Broken Toys dialogue on the game, I must ask: got tired of cutting yourself or something?

  • Andy O.

    Should we place bets on how long it’ll take him to quit? Maybe that’s too broad a topic.

  • Tremayne

    As a wise man once said “Don’t slag it off without trying it. Try it, THEN slag it off!”

    I am waiting for Aventurine to come on here and post logs showing how much time Scott actually spends playing Darkfall :)

  • Vajarra

    My schadenfreude is tingling already!

    With the exchange rate plus the cost your credit card company will charge for currency conversion, you spent $60 for the honor.

  • Coppertopper

    Give it a minimum of 3hrs in the character creator before we get your comprehensive review.

  • Guy

    I can’t wait. Good or bad.

  • Freakazoid

    YOU DROPPED THE BOMB

    AGAIN

  • Dirtyboy

    This will be pure comedy.

  • Boanerges

    Excellent Photoshopping job. You can’t even tell it’s a fake :P

    So, are we in for another review in the same vein of WWII Online?

  • Gx1080

    Well i never thought that i will see this. But if you review it, please
    dont put the part of the other players being… well just being. We know, just review the game.

  • The Alien

    @Gx1080
    I think it’s important to cover the people. Especially when they’re doing their best to make the game an enjoyable experience for you.

  • Vetarnias

    I just noticed that Aventurine’s official name, according to your receipt, is Audio Visual Enterprises. So I’m guessing that’s A-V-ENT, but this begs the question: where did the “urine” come from?

    And I’m not particularly keen for an answer.

    I’d have tried Darkfall out myself, but beside being cash-strapped at present, I’m not sure I’d entrust my credit card information to those guys, considering what has been reported alread, not to mention being forced to download it (I’m already stuck with download limits by my ISP, after which I have to pay extra, and the game would be about three times my limit, without being sure this computer could run it). So it’s three strikes right there, without even addressing the contents of the game.

    Whamerdoodles online?

    Oh, this ought to be the beginning of a grand, epic journey indeed. In comedy.

  • Gx1080

    The Alien :@Gx1080I think it’s important to cover the people. Especially when they’re doing their best to make the game an enjoyable experience for you.

    I hope that your comment was sarcasm. If not: BWAHAHAHAHAHA, Are we even talking about the same people?

    Whoa make sure you hook up a 56K modem and install a worse video card to TRULY appreciate the game!

  • Grokk

    42 Euros. That’s around $58.75 USD, right? I assume your credit card will pile on at least a 3% surcharge as well, putting you over $60.

    So it’s a little pricy. What can go wrong? :)

    You can’t just exceise the people from a review of an MMO. ESPECIALLY one in which the entire focus of the game is dependent on your interaction with those people.

  • Gx1080

    Ok, fine. Maybe its just my impression that i dont want to hear how much you guys hate the community. Again. But well, at least the last patches are showing responsability for part of Adventurine (Although they shouldnt let Tasos talk at all. Or hire a PR guy.)

    Sounds like a porn industry business name to me. Perhaps they’re a watersports-focused porn production company that decided to branch out to MMOs?

  • DoubleD

    I am quivering in anticipation.

  • Siddar

    You should also play Free Realms as well then write up a review of both games to show the contrast of the two games at the opposite ends of the mmog spectrum.

  • Mortarion

    $60 for a video game that you *also* pay monthly for is just incredible. Absolutely incredible.

    @Mortarion
    Not the Greeks’ fault that the USD is such a bad currency.

  • Einherjer

    Glad you joined us Mr. Jennings.
    I know you will come down hard on Darkfall, I know you will nitpick but I doubt you will blatantly lie about the game. I do believe you will be fair. And If by being fair you still come up with 2/10 review so be it. :)
