A Countdown

One of those cases where I had an idea for a game, and someone else made it. Back when the mmorpg stuff was hitting it's stride and developement houses were working on the crop of games coming out after DAOC, I had the idea that a game along the lines of Car Wars/Auto Duel would be cool. Well I got to beta test one incarnation of the game I would have made. The count down has begun for the final release. It would be a great distraction from time to time.

Reblogging for your enjoyment..

A free MMORPG, Shadowbane goes free, which is much nicer than the typical, "our subscriber numbers have gone to crap so we are shutting down that most companies pull. This way they can still market and sell expansions .

Ok, enough for now, may edit and add more..

Frustration

After I get back from lunch I usually head out and browse some online comics. I'll give ya the links in a cluster shortly, but my frustration here is in one big one and a couple others. Back when I worked at MaxVision I used to keep up with MegaTokyo. Then I moved on to Quest and was on the road daily for 8 hours at a stretch and had no time to keep up. So now that I am behind a desk, doing support again I am blessed with a job that does not frown on the occasional web browsing. Unfortunatly the MegaTokyo site is possibly the slowest site on the net, so catching up on two years of 3 episodes a week is impossible. Damn shame at times that comic was fun.

I also read Penny Arcade quite a bit, But today the comic wont load... which prompted this post. two sites no load. BTW PA has its moments of failure in the humor department. But is worth hitting on a regular basis, the blog is good about 60% of the time as well.

GU Comics has had another one of those mysterious hardware failures. Woody seems to have this problem quite a bit. So much so that I think he does it just to garner donations / take a vacation when he is burnt out. I actually dont have that big of a problem with him holding his comic hostage for reader donations. I have gotten the most consistant enjoyment out of his comic when compared to nearly any other web comic out there other than possibly PVP online. Woody used to have a periodic drawing for an original panel as a gift to all those who donated for a month, but PayPal pulled the plug on that claiming it was gambling.

PVP online, pretty much no pain here at all. when he needs a break he just gets guest artists to have fun in his world.

Ok the List.

Morning Beverage

Joani grabbed a few of this companies drinks for our morning beverages and some of them are quite tastey. I suspect they are not cheap, but all fruit and such, probably infinitly better than these, health wise.
