As the brave men and women of the AFS gather together for the final assault on the Bane tonight, many may wonder what the battle might look like. We were lucky enough to get in this awesome screenshot of Tabula Rasa from Adelbern on the (former) Pegasus server that might help folks to get an idea of what a small portion of the coming final battle may taste like. Adelbern writes: When you’re the last man standing and the Bane are able to take back a control point, there’s only one thing left to do: RUN! This screenshot was taken at River Base Krimm in Foreas’ Palisades map. If you’re one of the people who will be playing on this final day of Tabula Rasa, please snap some screenshots for One Shots and send them in to us once the battles are finished? [...]

What once seemed like an impossibility will soon become a reality: Mythic is launching their official Warhammer Online forums next week. At one point in time, the company was dead set against the idea of official forums for various reasons, but since Christmas they have warmed up to the idea. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Mythic put together a primer titled, Official Warhammer Online Forums and You!
To sign into these forums all you need to do is use your in-game user name and password and soon you will be able to choose a board profile tied to any of your characters to show off your career, rank, renown rank, etc. Not only will these forums be a centralized place to discuss everything Warhammer; you’ll also have direct access to the development team. Mythic also officially announced their WAR Oracle Program, which will give in-game and out-of-game rewards to board members [...]

But this is a working Dreamcast inside an iMac G3 case. Modder logicdustbin had some spare G3s and a 15-inch LCD monitor laying around, had a moment of inspiration, and soon the iCast was born.

The Imprudence Project has a release new candidate viewer for Second Life available. Imprudence 1.1 RC2 (unlike Linden Lab, the Imprudence Project counts starting from one, not from zero) features a number of improvements and fixes over RC1.
This release candidate has a new storage allocator for Windows which improves frame-rates, reduces memory-usage and is all-around more efficient. Several crash-bugs have been fixed, and support has been improved for Linux systems that use the PulseAudio sound server. A few UI tweaks and inconveniences have also been tidied up. Unfortunately there is still no version for the Mac as the Imprudence Project is starving for a Mac developer to handle that side of the code. Full release notes are after the jump.

Remember EA boasted that last year it put out 15 games getting 80 or better on Metacritic? Guess that’s no longer an operative statement. A senior exec told investors “We didn’t make hits” last year….

Significant announcements for the PSP and Nintendo led the charge this week. Buzz about a UMD-less PSP almost outshone word of major titles releasing on Sony’s handheld and Ninty’s upcoming catalog….

Unable to think of a good intro for this week’s WRUP, I bemoaned my lack of ideas around the corporate water cooler, where the team was full of ideas. Kyle suggested the post title.
Me: But who’s roaming and who’s wild?Kyle: I’d say Colin is wild and I’m roaming.Me: But what’s interesting about that?Kyle: You could write it while riding a war elephant across a bridge made of bones that spans a chasm of flaming death.Me: But how would the reader even know that was happening?!Kyle: I dunno, just tell them.
So here you are, dear reader, at the beginning of a post brought to you at great personal risk. Without further ado, here’s what the Massively team is up to in-game this weekend. Or perhaps, bored of our trials and tribulations, you want only to talk about what you’re up to this weekend. That’s okay — you can do [...]

Clan Name: The Mockers (Click on the name to go to our official clan page.)
Clan Official Name: Mockers, without the “The”. Even though I call it The Mockers here, when I created the clan name in the game I omitted the “The”. So it’s just “Mockers” if you’re looking for it online.
Clan Founder: Blackstaffer
Clan Name Origin: The Mockers was the name of a thieves guild in a book I read a long time ago. I liked it, and it stuck in my head.
Clan Purpose: To get a regular group of gamers together to play against one another. This clan is not about clan versus clan battles (though we may try that for fun). This clan is about getting to know a regular group of gamers that you can have fun with and feel familiarity towards. Team play will be emphasized and we will encourage squad tactics.
Clan Geography: In order to [...]
