I’m about to upgrade the theme this site uses. Anything could happen in the next half hour! The newer version should hopefully fix some pesky bugs that have been annoying me for a while. I’ll try not to break anything. Update: OK, that seems to have gone fairly painlessly. Had to tweak a bit of php to get things back to how I like them. The good news is that the new version of the theme has proper results for […] Via Lum from the BBC: Cash earned in games in China can no longer be spent on real world goods. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce policy aims to limit the impact of game currencies on real-world markets. In the future, any cash earned by Chinese gamers can only be spent to acquire items or equipment in that particular game. The move is widely seen as a crackdown on so-called “gold farming” in which players amass virtual money and then sell […] Some very cool info from Pex about what is coming up soon. I’m particularly looking forward to the driving jobs. They’re one of the most fun things to do in Free Realms, but are woefully underused due to not giving much in the way of rewards. When I can find other players to race against, it’ll “kick drive shaft”, as Jazz would say. It’s late, so I’ll just bullet-point what was said tonight in the approximate order of when things […] I was just about to go through my usual weekend routine of posting this weeks Colber Report clips (in order to get around the blocking of UK folks from being able to watch them), when I discovered to my joy that we can in fact watch them again. So, with mixed feelings, I won’t be posting any more full episodes worth of clips here, at least so long as we can watch them on the official website. Not the news I was expecting when I got home tonight. Pop star Michael Jackson has been rushed to hospital in Los Angeles, with several US reports saying he has died. Paramedics were called to the singer’s home around midday local time after he suffered a suspected cardiac arrest. He was rushed by ambulance to a medical centre, with reports from several US media outlets saying the 50-year-old star has died. In recent decades his life has been a […] From the Warhammer site today: Today we have important news to share with the community. EA is restructuring its RPG and MMO games development into a new group that includes both Mythic and BioWare. This newly formed team will be led by Ray Muzyka, co-founder and General Manager of BioWare. With this change, Ray becomes Group General Manager of the new RPG/MMO studio group. BioWare’s other co-founder, Greg Zeschuk will become Group Creative Officer for the new RPG/MMO studio group. […] I don’t see me joining a guild in Free Realms, but it is still the feature that marks yesterdays patch as one to notice. Mysterious incidents are happening across the land. Help out any of these people, and jump in the middle of the adventure: * A Royal Courier is in trouble in Greenwood Forest * Impress Sal Monella at Blackspore, and see where the next adventure takes you * Henry Farnum has trouble with the local hooligans * […] |
