Loading... today is a look back on our busy week here at Ten Ton Hammer and in the industry in general, with recaps of several news items that didn't get their fair share of play, like the newly announced Wheel of Time MMORPG. Jeff "Ethec" Woleslagle went to an early showing of the new James Bond film and he shares his thoughts on that atrocity as well.
That plus 14 other new articles, guides, and exclusives, an epic forum thread and our usual awesome real world news links are your reward for one click: Loading... Quantum of Awfulness.

Seriously is that a parody movie? I sure hope so. xD
I agree though, the whole series is getting really really old. Its like the Simpsons. I like Daniel Craig, but I think they are just trying for sex appeal to sell the movies rather than actually... writing a decent plot. >.<

It is a novel approach to upping the sex appeal of Bond ; removing all the sex.
I want pre-DieAnotherDay Bond back, or at the very least make a proper villain ( with a fruit smuggling uber henchman ) that we can cheer on.
Re Wheel Of Time MMO : exciting !
The books were ( / are ? ) meandering downhill due to the absurd volume of trivial new characters sucking up pages, but it should be a great foundation for an all-Human fantasy MMO setting.
I pirated the new bond film instead of watching it in theater, but I'm not surprised at how Bond has changed, it has been so silly for years now, and with popularity springing from the Bourne series, I think they tried to refresh the series with realistic battle, realistic crisis, and less silly sci-fi. I personally like it better, I stopped caring about the old bonds a long time ago, but with so many other movies making it big, bond just isn't a big deal anyway.
Anyway, that's not what I came to question, what I want to know is why GW2 is on the pulse when it's was just conceived months ago, and hasn't made any progress, but Aion which is months from release and just released their Open Beta CGI Trailer isn't even on the list. I'm not that interested in Aion like I used to be, it's just another threat based MMO, but it seems kind of silly for a game with no progress to out hype another within a year of release.

I believe the pulse is controlled by how much traffic the games site or articles receive. Somebody must be interested in GW2 as they seem to be sitting in the top 5.

What articles on GW2? Either nobodies covering Aion over here, or their including shared topics for GW current because there isn't enough info on GW2 to fill a bucket, Aion just had their open beta, is about to OBT in China, and just released their launch expectations, is the pulse even watching Aion, or are their topics too foreign to cover?
Don't mean to sound aggrivated, I'm not exactly excited about the game, it just seems like GW current and GW2 are being heaped together to gather more hype, and the fact that either of them are being acknowledged when another MMO is actually releasing launch data seems broken.
