A period of silence
Hey folks just a bit of news about me personally (Seb) which will affect MMGaming just a little in the next couple of weeks. As you are possibly aware, if you keep up to date with us and any other gaming news sites, earlier this week (on the 14th to be precise) Crusader Kings 2 was released by Paradox Interactive. As well as that the week before (on the 10th) Europe saw the release of Kingdom's of Amalur: Reckoning by 38 Studios and Big Huge Games.
Neptune’s Pride – MMGaming suffers another loss
It is a sad day for MMGaming, and the galaxy, as the second Rock, Paper, Shotgun community Neptune's Pride epic has been completed (well technically I was in the third game but that's not important).
As you can see from the Star Map above, it did not end well for me. I decided to ally myself with the Yellows (called elephant god), through thick and thin. Eventually Yushi (the red) attacked the both of us because he was simply twice as strong as both of combined.
Happy Winter-een-Mas from MMGaming!
As defined by Urban Dictionary: Winter-een-Mas is a gamer's holiday. The Winter-een-Mas season lasts all of January, but the holiday is the last week of January, January 25-31. It emphasizes the companionship of gamers. However, gift-giving is not recommended, as it may ruin the holiday spirit. Small, handmade gifts are quite alright, though.
Celebrate Winter-een-mas by playing videogames with your friends, by wearing interesting gaming clothing/accesories, and especially by writing letters of thanks to those wonderful developers who make the games!
MMGaming’s War on the Wall of Flesh!
A while ago I joined Tim in a game of Terraria on his world. Tim was actually a reasonable way into game and knows a hell of a lot about the game. Whereas I was a noob who had played about 15 minutes of the awesome game in total.
Tim, despite being a boss, was however in need of a bit of help taking down an absolutely massive and difficult boss in the game called The Wall of Flesh. The Wall, once summoned covers the whole up and down distance of the map and you have to constantly move away from it while slowly whittling down it's massive health store.
The Internet goes Dark
In protest of SOPA and Protect IP, the two bills be considered in US congress right now several prominent websites on the internet are going to only have a black screen. The screen will explain that the website is doing this in order to protest against the two bills but will otherwise be unusable for an entire day. The day that websites are going to go dark, or "Blackout" as it is being called right now is tomorrow (I.e. the 18th of January).

Neptune’s Pride – Following the Trend
After hearing about Neptune's Pride, the long-term, real-time, in-browser, multiplayer strategy game. Or as I like to call it LTRTIBMS game... I checked out the game at the official site and watched Tim in the play a little in the early days of his Empire.
I was quickly hooked on the idea and mechanics behind the game and myself went on the Rock, Paper, Shotgun forums to sign up for a game myself.
