StarGate Worlds : The Perfect Ten: MMORPGs in movies and televisionNov 03, 2011 01:00:00 PM News Item: 17521

While 1982's Tron explored what virtual life might be like inside a massive video game, it wasn't until fairly in recent times that real MMORPGs have crossed the divide between niche and mainstream to be referenced in television and films. Depending on how you see it, this mainstream acceptance of geek culture can be a thing to be either celebrated or shunned. What's for certain, however, is that we've only started to see the beginning of such point outs.
In today's Perfect Ten, I cobbled together a list of the first 10 MMORPG references that I know of from movies and TV shows. Some might be nothing more than a background detail or a throwaway line, while others are completely centered around the advertisement, er, massively multigamer online roleplaying game. I tried hard not to use "cheats" such as fake MMORPGs featured in shows like The Guild, so this list is all about real-world titles with no sugar substitutes.
Ready? Insert quarter and hit gamer one!Continue reading The Perfect Ten: MMORPGs in movies and television  The Perfect Ten: MMORPGs in movies and television Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:00:00 EST.

StarGate Worlds : New Jim Brown conversation talks Stargate WorldsDec 30, 2010 11:00:00 AM News Item: 16204
Filed under: Sci-fi, Interviews, MMORPG industry, News items
Fan website SaveStargate.org has posted the second part of its two-part conversation with Jim Brown, one of the principle figures in the development of the troubled Stargate Worlds MMORPGRPG. Alongside colleagues Todd Ellering and Daryl Wofford, Brown pitched the original idea for the sci-fi MMORPG to MGM way back in 2002, and went on to serve as the creative director at Dark Comet Games.
The first part of the conversation lays out the working relationship between the original team and controversial fundraiser Gary Whiting, as well as a bit of background on Cheyenne Mountain's troubles and the formation of Dark Comet. Part two touches on Brown's views regarding the current licensing circumstances, how close Stargate Worlds came to actually releasing, and what fans can do to make their voices heard for the future of the Stargate gaming franchise.
"Let them [MGM] know you want Stargate games. That's the biggest thing. If CME can manage to succeed with SGW and SGR, that's great, and that means not only will you have those games to play, but there will be more that follow from other studios," Brown says.New Jim Brown conversation talks Stargate Worlds Thu, 30 Dec 2010 11:00:00 EST.

CME explains, "Each of these armor sets will have unique traits that make them ideal for certain circumstancess. As gamers become familiar with each world and the different environments they will encounter, they will discover which sets of armor best suit their play." The most recent Stargate Worlds images can be seen at the top of the gallery on the SGW Community Site. Stargate Worlds: We're still kicking, the pics prove it Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:00:00 EST.
