  • Pile of MMOs: Champions Online and The Secret World

    I created another character in Champions Online, since my main one is trapped in a nightmare cave with Mr. Giantpaper’s character, fighting nightmare demons (and at the point we are at now, entering an actual nightmare).

    I had another character, an ice/snow fairy, buuut flying I found out always seems really slow to me, although I like the wing flapping animations (if you put wings on your character). I deleted the fairy, since F2P players can have up to two slots (before paying for additional ones) and created an archer. I had Hawkeye in mind, but decided to make the new one more like an ordinary civilian with superpowers (super acrobatic skills and Improbable Aiming Skills), since my main character is a super psychic ninja-type.

    One of Steam’s summer sale achievements was to upload a video to Youtube and connect it to our Steam profile. Since I didn’t have any video game-related videos, I downloaded Fraps and shot one while playing Champions Online.

    Speaking of MMOs, I’ve said in the past that I’ve grown apathetic about MMOs, but there are two I’ve been playing recently.

    I like Spiral Knights because it’s a lot less grindy than most MMOs. Champions Online can feel a bit grindy, if you’re soloing, but it makes up for it by being fun to run around in (if you have the acrobatic travel power or something similar). You can also go to Canada or the Southwest Desert and fight zombies! :O

    Upcoming MMOs like The Old Republic I’m following the news of, but after a few gameplay videos recently, people are calling it a WoW clone. I’ve never playing WoW, but if it’s like Runescape, I might be underwhelmed. :/
