We'd like to tell you why, but it's much better to be surprised, don't you think? I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with Casey's favorite activity. No, not that one, the other one.</p> <p>The stories in this episode range from news about the forthcoming Champions Online, to Codemasters expanding their business, to how the LEGO Universe economy will function. Hopefully well, we all know how unstable those LEGO financial institutions are. One swift kick from your older brother and the entire infrastructure comes tumbling down, and I'd rather not have to deal with bailing out LEGO Bear Stearns.</p> <p>So check the numbers, look to the future, and admit you've lost (you know who you are).

Last week we put up The MMO Report on Thursday instead of Friday, and we got more hits. So, big surprise, we're gonna do it again! And again and again! Until we get a million viewers. And then we'll run for congress.</p> <p>Until then, please do enjoy this week's installment of Casey's knowledge, lulz, and sex appeal. We'll discuss Lord of the Rings Online's first year in the open, what exactly happened to the Pirates of the Burning Sea servers that were put to sleep, and we introduce a new segment in our show that's sure to tickle your internet funny bone. No, not that one, that would cost extra.</p> <p>So put down GTAIV for 7 minutes, peel your sticky thighs off the couch, and watch this charming bit of internet and gaming culture.

No, I'm not talking about the hair you're noticing in places where there was no hair before. I'm talking about the fact that The MMO Report has let the balloon go up one day early. That means more raiding time, extra grinding, and an additional full day's worth of lulz.</p> <p>In this episode you all get a special treat; some sneaky bastard was able to leak stills of Wrath of the Lich King onto the internet for your viewing pleasure. Yes, that Wrath of the Lich King. It's in the Alpha stage of development right now, which means you don't get to play it yet. Also, we'll give you a fair warning about Square-Enix's new user agreement for Playonline. Check your attic for chocobos watching you masturbate.

Casey is something of a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast, as you may have seen in his review of the 4th Edition ruleset he got to play a while back. Well this week we take you even deeper into the dark, lightless cave for an in-depth look at the 4th Edition, as well as the new online component, D&D Insider.</p> <p>Why is this such a big deal? Well first of all, if you play MMOs then you must have history, if not at least appreciation for Dungeons and Dragons. None of the games we play today would exist without the meager beginings of pencil and paper and 20 sided die. Second, we got some exclusives in this interview. Not only are we the first media outlet to get confirmation of the first 8 classes in the new 4th Edition, but we also squeezed out a few classes that will be in the Second Player's Handbook that's releasing next year. Oh yeah, we're just that good. You won't find this in-depth coverage anywhere else.</p> <p>But don't worry, we still got you covered on MMO news. Check out the stories we would have talked about this week <a href="http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/684694/The_MMO_Report_Friday_April_18th.html">right here.</a></p> <p>So clear off the kitchen table, pull your chainmail out of the closet, and unsheath your +20 broadsword.

Recently I couldn't stop thinking about it; where it came from, does it have any history, is it made out of any precious metal. My curiosity got the best of me so I delved into intensive research. I went to the most largest libraries around the world studying, searching, trying to put the pieces together, but to all effort, it was vein. Just then while I was in the library of London I found another not unlike myself, he too was doing the exact same as I. He told me that he found out it resembled a ancient sacrificing tool used by the Aztecs. After that moment I ran out of the library without even asking a simple "What is your name?", and flew straight to the Aztec Ruins.

But now we're debating semantics, and we both know you can't win that argument.</p> <p>So this week we bring you more MMO news, both good and bad, with some still coming from last week's Game Developer's Conference.

But don't worry, we'll have you back to the dreary soon enough.</p> <p>This week we begin our discussions coming out of the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, a yearly collection of boring speaches given about programing topics and simulation engines. Now, while that may sound about as exciting as a weekend with your Uncle Sol who spent 3 semesters studying primate biology at the community college, those are actually the nuts and bolts that act as the inner clockwork of the games we play. Bottom line, it's a good thing.</p> <p>But out of all of that, we got a sizable amount of new announcements and footage from this year's GDC, and we're happy to pass it forward. And even happier to point and laugh. It's what we do.</p> <p>So stoke the fire, warm up the cocoa, and settle into your most comfortable chair.

G4's very own John Walsh thankfully stepped up to the plate and guest hosted the MMO Report for us this week, and are we ever glad he did.

In this dawning of a new age, we'd like to start the year off with something different. Still recovering from the lack of MMO news over the holiday season, we've put together something very special for all of you.</p> <p>Machinima has always been something we enjoyed, but never had the time to implement into our show. I mean, what could be more amusing than a bunch of amateur film makers producing comedic shorts using in-game engines from our favorite digital distractions? Maybe puppies, but that's beside the point. The point is we made this collection of machinima shorts just for you. And don't worry, we didn't include any of the depressing, artsy-fartsy flicks.
