Friday the latest Massive Update went up on the 1up site. For me, it was a personal victory. I managed to make it through every single week of travel without slacking on a single project. The week that Massive was missing was not my fault; the giant file o’ doom was in on time on Wednesday night of that week.  So! Go me.

Last week I touched on the news out of PAX, but it very much deserves a re-visiting. Though there were several games there, the ones that really stood out as having new content to offer (aside from the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, obviously) were massively multiplayer games. Of those titles at the show, the buzz was primarily around Pirates of the Burning Sea, Fury, and (of course) Warhammer Online. The Warhammer folks couldn’t talk about the new hotness (the Elves), because that was the task dedicated to the folks in Leipzig. Just the same, they had plenty interesting to talk about, when they could be torn away from their absolutely packed booth. Carolyn Koh of MMORPG had a chat with the folks there about the game in general, and came away impressed by her hands-on RvR experience. Cameron over at TenTonHammer has up a lengthy interview with Carrie Gouskos, the mind behind the legendary Tome of Knowledge. Probably one of the most interesting features of Warhammer, it’s great to get a detailed account of what exactly this feature will mean for players
