In light of recent announcements, you could make the case that it's pretty bright, in fact it may even be bright enough to merit the donning of fashionable eyewear.

So, aside from paying tribute to Timbuk3 and aggravating the Debbie Downers in the audience, I feel the need to discuss the recent Aion happenings both here in the west and in Korea. Despite ripping on the game's grind a bit last week, the fact remains that I still enjoy it and it seems like NCsoft has at least turned the ship in the right direction, even if it's still proceeding at a glacial pace.

Reasons for optimism around the Aionosphere will vary depending on who you talk to, of course, and I'm sure there are many among you rolling your eyes and setting your jaw to deliver more proclamations on how Aion a) sucks and b) is dead. While the first one is certainly true from some perspectives and a perfectly valid opinion, I'd like to take a moment to examine the second, and poke fun at those who continually throw the word around with no firm concept of its actual meaning as it relates to online gaming. Check the whole information.
