Meeptastic

February 27, 2009

In Metaplace yesterday, we had our first community-run protest about a change that we decided to announce to our beta testers.  For those familiar with Facebook's "poke", we introduced the same feature instead called "meep" – users would "meep" each other all the time as a way of saying hello.  A common report in our [...]

Stumped. Or maybe slumped?

February 26, 2009

I logged into WoW last night for the first time in a couple weeks.  8 users online in my guild, most of them low level alts.  Nothing going on in chat.  Wasn't really sure what to *do*, so I logged off.
This is the stage of my MMO phases that I hate.  When I have the [...]

GamersGate

February 25, 2009

TechCrunch is referring to GamersGate as an alternative to Steam, but after checking the site out – they look a lot more like a Direct2Drive competitor to me.  Some of you might be interested in checking it out, after all, they have Horse Camp so it's gotta be good right?

Phew, all moved!

February 23, 2009

We're finally all moved in to our new loft!  This time, we decided to hire movers so that we didn't have to do all the physical labor on our own.  It was the best decision ever.  I got to watch my stuff get loaded into one truck at our condo, then get unloaded out of [...]

Resto4Life Closing Its Doors

February 23, 2009

As you can (hopefully) imagine, this was no easy decision to make. In fact, it’s one I’ve been struggling with for the past three months which – not coincidentally – was about the time I found out the happy news that Mr. Phae and I are expecting our first child. I quickly came to realize [...]

Why am I interested in it?

It's free-to-play
Browser based (although it doesn't work [...]
