Meh, SOE. They let Everquest II wallow in antiquity, the're letting Vanguard, probably the best MMO out there die a slow death, and the PSP, nuf said there.
Not much hope for anything they get their mitts on.

LOL, Alex. You kept your word; no TERA T&A this week.
(Personally, I like the high elf chick. Maybe next week.)

My, Mr. Knight, that's a mighty big sword you have there. Overcompensating for anything?

perhaps lack of brains? Oh wait...

You don't need brains if you have a really big sword.

I seen that blade and thought Monster Hunter 3? I love the weapons from that game.
Interesting to see the women spend more article though, I'm half expecting to walk past a coffee shop and hear:
"Oh that mount I bought in perfect world really goes with my avatars wings, But I'm going to have to call Judy and tell her I can't come to that pash party this weekend because I'm just broke until Tuesday"
Alternativly.. Can't be bothered to buy those heels for your WoW playing girlfriend who currently wants to Execute you the moment you walk inside, Buy her a Celestial steed at work and voila!
