| MMOHut/OnRPG @ New York Comic Con 2012 – Day 3 Posted: 15 Oct 2012 03:56 PM PDT MMOHut/OnRPG @ New York Comic Con 2012 – Day 3 By MikeDot and Afromania The third day of NYCC was here, and today was going to be a busy day. My brother and I got up as early as possible so we could prep up for our interview with the creative director behind HAWKEN. Even though we showed up early, we were able to get our interview in almost as soon as we showed up. During the interview, I threw in some questions that some members of the OnRPG/MMOHut forums wanted to know, such as bigger map sizes, clan features and immersive features such as fully view-able cockpits. Overall, the creative director was very excited to talk about HAWKEN and the recording for the interview turned out well, so expect the full interview soon. Next up: The Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter panel, which showcased a very impressive amount of new content that will be available for the expansion, including the new Foundry system that allows players to create their own scenarios and quests for other players to complete, just like Game Masters would do while playing the original Table-Top Dungeons & Dragons games. They also went into fine detail regarding the massive amount of lore that was pulled straight from classic D&D material to be used in the upcoming expansion, had a small Q&A session and even gave away some prizes just for showing up. My brother and I were the only ones capturing footage of the event, so you can expect some exclusive footage of the whole panel next week.
That was all the major events that I had on my schedule for the day, so I went off to do some more exploring. There was one booth in particular that I kept passing up, the Craftsmen booth, thinking it was only about promoting some new power tools, but then I took a closer look and found THIS:
Well… Say hello to the newest member of the Justice League! I skimmed through a few pages of the issue, and from what I’ve seen "The Craftsmen" is quite literally a "superhero" that can build and fix things. Yeah, that's about it. It really seems like the weirdest product promotion ever. The actual Craftsmen PRODUCT that they're promoting in the comic seems pretty cool, though. The day eased up a bit after that as I looked around for cosplayers to take shots of. Jack from Mad World/Anarchy Reigns! Scorpion from Mortal Kombat!
PSY! (I only saw two people dressed up as this guy. I honestly thought there would have been more.) There wasn't much else that I was looking forward for the rest of NYCC… …except for ONE panel, which was probably the most ridiculous event panel in NYCC history:
Yep! It sounded like the most hilariously stupid thing ever, and I wanted in on it. Several friends and I lined up along with a whole mess of overly-excited participants. When we got in, we found that there was a bunch of goodies waiting for us on each of the seats: Two bingo sheets, a plastic gun, a plastic spatula… and a condom.
Best combination of freebies EVER. The announcers said that the freebies would be used during different parts of the sing-a-long for participants to get a more INTERACTIVE experience. Before the main sing-a-long even started, they played a whole bunch of classic R.Kelly songs, and people were welcome to walk up to the front of the panel just to get up and dance… And boy, people were sure getting into it. I'm actually quite surprised that security officers didn’t try and stop anyone from standing on the tables and dancing with their shirts off!
The whole event was just an incredible laugh riot. I did manage to record SOME of the sing-a-long, but you just had to be there to truly experience it. That's all for Day 3. Stay tuned for our last day of coverage, featuring a look at the Marvel HEROES booth.

| Artix Entertainment Celebrates 10 Years With Hostile Takeover Posted: 15 Oct 2012 12:59 PM PDT Artix Entertainment, the indie game development studio that creates and publishes download-free, browser-based RPGs to over 150 million registered players, is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this week… or at least it would be, if EbilCorp, the fictional arch enemy of Artix Entertainment, had not infiltrated all of AE’s biggest games including AdventureQuest Worlds, EpicDuel, DragonFable, MechQuest,AdventureQuest, and HeroSmash. Two weeks ago, AE players found a leaked memo from Chairman Platinum, the leader of EbilCorp, in which the Chairman threatened to take AE’s entire network of games offline, permanently. Although the AE staff took every measure possible to prevent this from happening, somehow EbilCorp still managed to successfully infiltrate all six of AE’s major games, sabotaging the originally-planned 10 Year Anniversary Event. Upon his invasion of the games, the Chairman released a video warning all players that every minion inside the games has a built-in function called “gameocide” which is set to detonate this Friday at 6 PM EDT. Gameocide will force an automatic shut down of all AE games and delete everyone’s characters. If even a single minion is still standing at 6 PM this Friday, all AE games will be permanently destroyed. The AE staff is calling all players, of every level, of every game, to log into AdventureQuest Worlds, EpicDuel, DragonFable, MechQuest, AdventureQuest, or HeroSmash and fight back against the evil Chairman Platinum and his minions. We're running out of time and need your help! If players successfully defeat the Chairman’s minions in all the games before “gameocide” is triggered, each game will unlock a surprise along with lavish rewards to all participating players. To see the progress of the war in each game, please visit:www.Artix.com/events/10th-anniversary. After all the game’s war progress bars fill up, indicating total defeat of the Chairman’s minions, a bonus area will unlock in AdventureQuest Worlds and all participating players in all games will receive a bonus surprise. |
