The Evil Within

I love horror games.  I've always enjoyed playing them alone at night with the lights turned off.  The suspense in these types of games is just unreal and I am so looking forward to The Evil Within.

For those not in the know, The Evil Within is a new horror survival game that is being released on basically all relevant platforms next week.  This title is being published under Bethesea Softworks who have become world renown for The Elder Scrolls series and developed by Shinji Mikami - The creator of the Resident Evil series

I thoroughly enjoyed some of the original Resident Evil games.  I remember spending hours playing through them loving the story, the characters and of course - the suspense!  After several dozen games in the series, it began to feel different.  It didn't seem like much of a survival horror game anymore but more of a grotesque action game.  The survival horror just felt left out.

The Evil Within is looking to bring that back for me.  This is looking like what I would expect from a next generation "Resident Evil" type game.  One of the latest trailers for the game puts a camera in front of players to record their actions as they played through the game.  The result really amps up my desire to play this game.  Have a look for yourself.

You can pre-order for your respective platforms below to get the "Fighting Chance" pack.

http://www.MalumFactum.com

We are small in numbers but large in presence and aim to keep it that way by focusing on quality over quantity.  While our primary focus is PvP, we participate in other aspects of the game such as dungeons and trade runs with the emphasis that completing these activities will help bolster our PvP ability.

We take part in the Halycona war as often as possible and do what we can to flip other zones into war.  From day one Malum Factum has been a thorn in the side of many western guilds.  If you enjoy PvP, dungeons and trade runs while being an active nuisance to the enemy, Malum Factum might be a good place to call home.

Malum Factum is an all adult gaming community that has been going strong for over a decade now.  We pride ourselves on being mature, successful and drama-free.  Out history is primarily in progression raiding and team-based PvP:  We aim to succeed (and dominate) in all aspects of the games we play and our ambitions are great for ArcheAge!

We have enjoyed over ten years of gaming success with many more years ahead of us.  Our extensive experience has enabled us to eliminate drama, build an enduring leadership structure and create a lasting community that flows seamlessly from game to game.

WildStar: Experiment X-89 Down!

Malum Factum has been struggling a little bit in WildStar with maintaining the necessary  raid team and it has shown for the past few weeks.  Last night though was a different story all together!

Earlier in the week we were able to clear out the raid zone and get some pulls in on the first major boss, Experiment X-89.  We didn't have a lot of time to do so and this was after taking a week off from raiding to do some recruiting, but we did what we could.  On a few attempts we managed to get him in the 35% range.  Not bad, but clearly not good enough.

On Thursday's raid night, we were able to go in and only needing to clear three thrash pulls, we were able to dedicated the entire evening to taking out X-89.  One of the biggest things holding us back was poor bomb placement.  A few illustrations and an explanation of where I wanted everyone to drop bombs and we instantly saw a huge improvement.

After a few pulls, we were consistently getting X-89 into the teen percentage, a few more pulls and we were down into single digit percentage.  And then finally our kill attempt.  The MVP for this boss kill surely goes to Tatersalad of Malum Factum.  Out of the three healers used for this fight, two died early on leaving Tatersalad to take on the healing of the entire raid team all to himself.  The first of the two healer deaths happened quite early on due to a mishap of confusing small and big bombs.  The second healer death, which was me, happened while trying to re-position during a snipe attack.  This left Tatersalad the only healer for a solid 2 minutes while the dwindling raid team finally finished off the boss.

If this is an indication of where Malum Factum is heading in WildStar, its onto more raiding!
