Gestalt is a psychological term that refers to one thing larger as a whole than the sum of its elements. This isn't a tough phenomenon to see in motion -- you've to mix flour, yeast, and cinnamon collectively to get a delicious loaf of cinnamon-swirl bread, after all. The term can be utilized to Transformers, which mix into a single monumental robotic, often one that's not particularly delicious. Regardless of this reality, the official term remains "combiner" as a substitute, presumably because the people who are in charge of naming are apprehensive about what would happen if everyone started using obscure psychology phrases.



Hey, so long as we're already speaking about combining issues, we would as effectively go complete-hog into this week's WRUP. That itself is a gestalt, however that does not appear fairly spicy sufficient. Let's all speak about combining video games together into an entire better than the sum of its components. Yeah, that's the ticket. Soar on previous the break for that and what the workers will be playing this weekend, then tell us within the comments what you may be getting up to.



Beau Hindman (@Beau_Hindman): I'll be finishing up my time with Minions of Mirth and moving on to The Realm On-line. I have simply barely began to play, however already the sport may be very charming, and the neighborhood is awesome. Supposedly it is one of many oldest round! I will also be placing much more time building up my city in Illyriad and trying to hit the next level in Ministry of Conflict. Then I'll proceed to make plans for taking every week to use no PCs in any respect and to reside off only my phone (for a future challenge).



If I may mix two video games, they can be Ryzom and The Chronicles of Spellborn. Not solely would it be the very best-trying game in all the historical past of the universe, however it would have everything I wanted. Well, that is, if I might throw in some Wurm On-line as nicely. And uhm... combine within the epicness of Vanguard. Oh yeah, and will I throw in some Mabinogi crafting and its rebirth system? What about...



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



If I could combine two recreation into one, it would positively be Star Trek On-line and EVE On-line -- that can 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 depart Massively Motivated within the fingers of its directors. It's been niggling at me for the reason that EVE fanfest that running a PvE company is not what I wish to do or what I'm good at, and forcing myself to do it has murdered my enthusiasm for taking part in. I will be getting again into issues I enjoy more, like PvP and enjoying the market in my very own time.



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



Eliot Lefebvre Ms. Lady and that i can be continuing to explore Ultimate Fantasy XIV collectively, as she's been completely in love with the sport now that she's acquired a machine able to handling it. I've additionally got The Sims Medieval to occupy my time, and I would love to get again into Guild Wars with no matter spare moments are left.



Combining video games is a bit of a pastime of mine to begin with, and a variety of those games wind up being MMOs. I'd love to see a mash-up between the setting and baroque, unique courses of Closing Fantasy XI with the talent system, armor system, and distinctly fast-paced breakdown of Guild Wars. Failing that, I'd like to mash the setting of Sword 2 into a Star Trek On-line-style engine. Combine up Fallen Earth and Metropolis of Heroes to give me a Gamma World MMO!



Jef Reahard: A little bit of EVE and AoC here, and i've also returned to EverQuest II for some time (mainly because it nonetheless has the perfect participant housing regardless of being seven years outdated, /sniff).



My unholy hybrid would be Ultima On-line plus Star Wars Galaxies, and going into details would take this whole column. When you played both, you understand why. It's exhausting not to include EVE in there too, but I feel CCP will finally flip it into the ultimate sandbox, so there'd really be no motive to combine it with something at that time.



Jeremy Stratton (@Jeremy_Stratton): I'm continuing my quest to obtain and improve a vahtos accessory-set for my Priest/Rogue in Runes of Magic. Although each accessory has a very different stage-requirement and not one of the items goes near the current stage-cap, they are nonetheless really useful for squishies (especially a pew-pewing Priest). I did not should think for a second about which two video games I would mix. I might like to see all the many enjoyable aspects of Runes of Magic injected into the enormous and beautiful world of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.



Justin Olivetti (@Sypster): As much as doable, I will be taking part in Lord of the Rings On-line to eek out all of that extra bonus XP for the anniversary weekend celebration. So no RIFT until Monday, alas!



Combination-smart, it would be superior to see RIFT and City of Heroes mixed. The soul system and dynamic occasions of RIFT would lend themselves properly to a superhero setting, and CoH has at all times had a few of the coolest fight and powers of any comic guide sport.



Karen Bryan (@JayeRnH): It is Easter weekend plus the tail finish of faculty vacation, so my playtime's restricted. I am going to attempt to sneak in just a little Pirates of the Burning Sea, although!



As for the bonus question, that's straightforward. I might prefer to see Minecraft mixed with RIFT. I need to see a airplane of Minecraft with 16-bit invasions and armies of creeers and zombies running amok throughout Telara.



MJ Guthrie: This weekend will see me cooking up a medley stew -- a dash Lord of the Rings On-line, a couple of shakes of STO, a heaping scoop of EverQuest II, and then a sprig of Aion for spice. I feel that can fill me up pretty effectively!



Hmmm, nicely the primary one can be straightforward to select -- pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies! The emotes, the customization, the housing, the social courses, the crafting, the... I might go on and on. I might combine it with... um... Okay, the second alternative is harder for me. I might very well select The Sims. I love to construct; to have the ability to design and assemble my very own place would keep me entertained endlessly. Can I add in a couple of The Matrix Online options as nicely? Truthfully, don't get me started as a result of I might snag options from so many video games to make my good game! Then I could never venture into RL again...



Patrick Mackey (@mackeypb): Champions On-line is doing a free Serpent Lantern weekend, so any player can play it. I'm undoubtedly going to be working a few of it with associates. One of my mates is coming again from the navy on go away, so I will even be doing stuff with him this weekend. We'll probably be enjoying Hisoutensoku and Artemis. I intend to add a number of the exploits to my YouTube channel, so if you're involved, verify some of that out. Games



If I could mix two video games into one, it can be EVE and Armored Core. Particularly, I would like a cutthroat economic participant-centered mecha motion recreation in a publish-apocalyptic world, the place players pilot robots instead of ships and fight is blinding fast and talent-based.



At first of every weekend, we meet up with the Massively employees members and ask them, "What are you taking part in this week?" (Otherwise often called: WRUP!) Be part of us to see what we're up to in and out of recreation -- and catch us in the comments to let us know what you are playing, too!
