July 24, 2009

What new contest did EA dream up?  Take pictures of yourself performing “acts of lust” with their booth babes – and win prizes.

This is completely disgusting.  In an industry that already gets a bad rep for being misogynistic, sexist, and objectifying women – we are seeing this?  Very poor form EA, very poor indeed.
And no, [...]

Ideas for Ponyplace?

July 17, 2009

Since the day I started working at Metaplace I’ve had this theoretical idea of making a world called “Ponyplace”.  My ideas for it have run the gamut; from a game that lets you have your own pony to love and groom, to a board game style pony RTS.  The one I keep coming back to [...]

Would you be interested in…..

July 13, 2009

A new collaborative gaming-related blog?
I’m looking to test Tumblr’s new submissions feature with a collaborative blog.  This would allow anyone to go to www.URLThatIChoose.com/submit and send in text or images.  Everything would be moderated by me (and anyone else who wants to help with this project).
Here are some ideas that I have:

Bringing sexy…err..social back

July 10, 2009

Ryan Shwayder talks about how it *is* possible for modern MMOs to bring social interaction back without losing accessibility – in fact, he hints that Copernicus will be doing just that.
Of course it’s possible to bring social back.  Let’s look at how people use the web today – everything is social.  From connecting with real [...]

WoWtest – My Metaplace Experiment

July 7, 2009

Now that I can remote embed and share worlds to everyone…I’ll start showing a few I have made!
This is WoWtest. This was my attempt at creating a side scrolling WoW clone, complete with art ripped directly from the game. No, there isn’t really anything to play. If you keep walking to the [...]

I’ve always been a “say what I want to say” kind of person here.  This is my blog, and all 800+ posts I have written were put out there for me.  This blog has been a chronicle of my growth from a starstruck MMO player to transitioning to working in the industry that I am [...]
