    Zenith will have a hard time winning against big names like the ones listed. It's fun but still very early in development, the other games are complete. I like it but it's not a finished product at this point so putting it up against the likes of a RE is pretty steep hill to climb. If it wins, I would be very surprised.

    That picture, it looks like an Asian MMO set against an old DnD lore book?

    Chimeraland is the worst thing I have tried recently. I don't know how anyone plays it. Awesome character creator, then I don't know what happens but it's really bad.

    That is from the Monsters & Memories monthly blog. It definitely reminds me of D&D books or modules.

    I like it. There is some major jank to it but I am having some fun playing it very casual like. I couldn't recommend it without giving a "you probably won't like it but you never know" disclaimer.

    Splattr, did you get your name from the movie "The Splattering" from the "Locke and Key" series on Netflix?

    Good series, got a little silly with all the running around and flipping in the last few episodes of the last series though.

    Nope, it goes back way further than that. My first moniker for gaming was based off of my name - Gassman, Gazzman, Gass, Gazz, or just GAS for those of you who are old enough to remember three letter leaderboards. After online games became a thing and name filters started restricting access to those names (hint, take away the G), I had to come up with something else. I had a friend that made fun of how I would always splatter against enemy ships in the X-wing and Tie Fighter games, so Splatter sorta stuck. It was shortened to Splattr when Splatter was already taken by someone on Xbox Live. Dropping the e has served me well since then with the name only already being taken one time in any online game or forum I've joined.

    Once upon a time one of my character names in Planetside was "ImASplat" for similar reasons.

    You are reminding me of the time I found out the name I had picked in Age of Conan was in dutch language quite offensive. It was "(part of a ladies anatomy)man". I had new dutch players contact me every few weeks with "are you from the Netherlands"? What got me was "man" is English, but apparently they use it as well.

    The name was meant to mean "Fortitude of Aman", for my Setite toon, but that taught me a lesson.

    After that experience I told the guild and indeed any players, don't put the letters "man", "boy", "girl" etc in your name as in another language it can mean something else entirely! :)
