Gen Con Starting tomorrow morning, I will be leaving for Gen Con, hopefully to arrive Wed. night and be ready for the convention starting Thurs. morning. I apoligize for my silence; it is very unlike me to remain quiet for so long, so when I return, I shall have a few rants and essays up here for what few readers we have at the moment. Hopefully, at the convention, I can convince Div to start running the PR machine and we can get a real readerbase in the near future So, until then... Posted July 31 2001 by Paradox Equation

Who squashed the slug? The death of a game is never a good thing. Fallen Ages has died. Yep, that's right. The American design team has put it on official permanent hold due to creative differences with the Korean team. But with a remarkable show of concern for the players, the FA beta testers are being moved to DAOC beta by a collaboration between Mythic and Netamin. If everyone in the industry were as classy as those two teams, then we'd have a lot less shit to put up with. You can read the unofficial release by Savant, the producer of Fallen Ages, and the official press release, by clicking on Read More. Full Story Posted July 28 2001 by Paradox Equation

Matter of Time? The internet gaming industry, which consist's not only of massively multi-player online gaming, but also card games, puzzles, board games, first-person shooters, racing games and internet casino's took up fully 37 percent of the internet entertainement market last year, with an estimated revenue of over $1.5 billion by 2004. The online Adult industry generated over $9 billion in revenue last year, making it the number one product/service on the Internet.
