Star Wars offers a setting with incredible chances at strong storytelling and it’s for this reason I’ve been watching closely for any hints at the story elements in Star Wars: The Old Republic. This recent developer blog on the driving forces behind the Sith Inquisitor’s tale really dug its claws into my mind.
Before now, I’d always assumed most choice elements within the story of any given class would be mostly binary. That was the easiest solution for BioWare, who has created quite the challenge for themselves with the premise of a full singleplayer storyline experience for each class within the game.

While our sister site, WoW.com, gets the lion’s share of World of Warcraft screenshots for their daily Around Azeroth column, we do still get the occasional screenshot from a player — albeit few and far between! Today’s overlook screenshot comes to us from occasional contributor Deadend from the Exodar server, who writes in: Here is Mimiron’s joint. Mimiron is, from a game play standpoint, probably one of my all time favorite bosses in WoW.
If you’re one of the millions of players who have played World of Warcraft and would like to send in a screenshot, we’d welcome your contribution. All you need to do is email a screenshot to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, and a quick description of what’s WoWing you in the screenshot. Please make sure your image is at least 1024 pixels wide and has as little visible UI as possible. Yours may be next!

“Guild Wars is an old game.” As the game approaches its fifth birthday and Guild Wars 2 continues production, that’s a phrase you’ll hear more and more. While it’s true that the game has been around for a while now, age doesn’t necessarily equal stale or boring. On the contrary, it means you’ve got an established game with an experienced development team behind it, and they’ve had time to work out all those bugs, kinks, and emergency patches that are so common in new games. Even better, you’ve got a strong player base that knows their way around.
The largest factor in what makes a game fun for you is your attitude and outlook, so let’s take a look at some ways to keep from falling into the trap of assuming there’s nothing left for you to do in Guild Wars.
