Jump to: navigation, search

Gestalt is a psychological term that refers to one thing greater as an entire than the sum of its parts. This isn't a tough phenomenon to see in motion -- you have got to mix flour, yeast, and cinnamon together to get a delicious loaf of cinnamon-swirl bread, after all. The time period may also be applied to Transformers, which mix right into a single monumental robotic, usually one that is not notably scrumptious. Despite this fact, the official term stays "combiner" as a substitute, presumably as a result of the people who find themselves answerable for naming are apprehensive about what would occur if everyone began using obscure psychology terms.



Hey, as long as we're already talking about combining issues, we would as nicely go whole-hog into this week's WRUP. That itself is a gestalt, but that doesn't seem quite spicy enough. Let's all speak about combining games together into an entire higher than the sum of its components. Yeah, that's the ticket. Jump on previous the break for that and what the workers will be taking part in this weekend, then let us know within the feedback what you may be getting as much as.



Beau Hindman (@Beau_Hindman): I will be finishing up my time with Minions of Mirth and shifting on to The Realm On-line. I have just barely started to play, but already the sport is very charming, and the community is awesome. Supposedly it is one of many oldest around! I am going to also be putting much more time building up my metropolis in Illyriad and trying to hit the next degree in Ministry of Struggle. Then I will proceed to make plans for taking a week to make use of no PCs in any respect and to reside off solely my cellphone (for a future undertaking).



If I could combine two video games, they can be Ryzom and The Chronicles of Spellborn. Not solely would it's the perfect-trying game in your entire historical past of the universe, however it will have every thing I wished. Properly, that's, if I might throw in some Wurm On-line as properly. And uhm... combine in the epicness of Vanguard. Oh yeah, and could I throw in some Mabinogi crafting and its rebirth system? What about...



Brandon Felczer (@bfelczer): This weekend I am going away on trip to my time share in Palm Springs and going to try to not take my laptop -- Ok, I am gonna take it but attempt not to open it. We will see how that goes. So, WRUP this weekend? LIFE!



If I could mix two game into one, it could positively be Star Trek On-line and EVE Online -- that would be pure and utter madness!



Brendan Drain (@nyphur): It's come time for me to shut up the Massively Mob corporation in EVE On-line and go away Massively Motivated within the hands of its directors. It has been niggling at me since the EVE fanfest that running a PvE corporation is not what I wish to do or what I'm good at, and forcing myself to do it has murdered my enthusiasm for playing. I will be getting back into things I take pleasure in extra, like PvP and enjoying the market in my very own time.



If I might merge any two games, it might be EVE Online and Age of Conan -- an odd mixture however one I feel would work. Having played on a PvP server in Age of Conan, I found that sneaking across the zones monitoring players down and smashing them to bits was incredibly enjoyable. EVE On-line's single-shard construction, open-world territorial battle, a form of policing and sentry turret system for protected areas, and a disposable gear system may all do wonders for AoC.



Eliot Lefebvre Ms. Lady and that i will be persevering with to explore Final Fantasy XIV together, as she's been completely in love with the game now that she's acquired a machine capable of handling it. I've additionally bought The Sims Medieval to occupy my time, and I would like to get again into Guild Wars with no matter spare moments are left.



Combining games is a little bit of a interest of mine to start with, and a number of these video games wind up being MMOs. I'd like to see a mash-up between the setting and baroque, distinctive classes of Last Fantasy XI with the talent system, armor system, and distinctly fast-paced breakdown of Guild Wars. Failing that, I might love to mash the setting of Sword 2 into a Star Trek Online-model engine. Mix up Fallen Earth and City of Heroes to present me a Gamma World MMO!



Jef Reahard: A little bit of EVE and AoC right here, and that i've also returned to EverQuest II for some time (primarily as a result of it still has the most effective participant housing regardless of being seven years old, /sniff).



My unholy hybrid would be Ultima On-line plus Star Wars Galaxies, and going into particulars would take this complete column. Should you played either, you know why. It is arduous not to include EVE in there too, however I believe CCP will finally flip it into the ultimate sandbox, so there'd really be no reason to combine it with anything at that time.



Jeremy Stratton (@Jeremy_Stratton): I am persevering with my quest to obtain and upgrade a vahtos accessory-set for my Priest/Rogue in Runes of Magic. Though every accessory has a very different stage-requirement and not one of the pieces goes close to the present level-cap, they're nonetheless actually helpful for squishies (particularly a pew-pewing Priest). I did not have to think for a second about which two video games I might mix. I would like to see all the various enjoyable facets of Runes of Magic injected into the enormous and beautiful world of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.



Justin Olivetti (@Sypster): As a lot as doable, I will be playing Lord of the Rings On-line to eek out all of that further bonus XP for the anniversary weekend celebration. So no RIFT till Monday, alas!



Combination-sensible, it'd be superior to see RIFT and Metropolis of Heroes mixed. The soul system and dynamic events of RIFT would lend themselves nicely to a superhero setting, and CoH has always had among the coolest combat and powers of any comic guide game.



Karen Bryan (@JayeRnH): It's Easter weekend plus the tail end of faculty trip, so my playtime's restricted. pubg qa I'll attempt to sneak in somewhat Pirates of the Burning Sea, though!



As for the bonus question, that's straightforward. I would prefer to see Minecraft mixed with RIFT. I wish to see a aircraft of Minecraft with 16-bit invasions and armies of creeers and zombies working amok all over Telara.



MJ Guthrie: This weekend will see me cooking up a medley stew -- a sprint Lord of the Rings Online, just a few shakes of STO, a heaping scoop of EverQuest II, after which a sprig of Aion for spice. I think that can fill me up fairly effectively!



Hmmm, well the first one would be easy to choose -- pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies! The emotes, the customization, the housing, the social classes, the crafting, the... I might go on and on. I would combine it with... um... Ok, the second selection is tougher for me. I might very effectively choose The Sims. I like to construct; to be able to design and construct my own place would keep me entertained eternally. Can I add in just a few The Matrix On-line options as effectively? Honestly, do not get me began because I'd snag features from so many games to make my good recreation! Then I may never venture into RL once more...



Patrick Mackey (@mackeypb): Champions Online is doing a free Serpent Lantern weekend, so any participant can play it. I am positively going to be running some of it with buddies. One in every of my associates is coming back from the navy on depart, so I will also be doing stuff with him this weekend. We'll probably be taking part in Hisoutensoku and Artemis. I intend to upload a number of the exploits to my YouTube channel, so if you are interested, examine some of that out.



If I could combine two video games into one, it would be EVE and Armored Core. Particularly, I might like a cutthroat economic participant-targeted mecha action sport in a submit-apocalyptic world, where players pilot robots as a substitute of ships and combat is blinding fast and skill-primarily based.



Initially of each weekend, we catch up with the Massively staff members and ask them, "What are you enjoying this week?" (In any other case referred to as: WRUP!) Join us to see what we're as much as in and out of recreation -- and catch us within the comments to tell us what you are playing, too!
