Giga Gophur

It's all about exposure don't you know. I'll be on Giga TV this afternoon (night for you eoros) talking about BE or WWIIOL or whatever you wish to call this massively multi-player online first-person shooter strategy role playing game (MMO, MMOFPS, MMORPG ?) that we all so dearly love to live and breath.

I have no idea what they will ask me. I have no idea what the program format is like to be. I have no idea how to actually watch this from the office in Bedford...

What I do know is that for a small independent game developer and defacto publisher this is huge. I also know that Greni and Hofnarr will be on set to show off the game. Hope you cats can tune in.

"Kbar" from CinC to Ink

Rob "Kbar" Kauder has been a long time member of the WWIIOL community. He came to the MMO as a day one player if I recall correctly. He was a CinC for the Allied High Command. He's a hell of a paintball player and I think he met his wife at a player convention. Well now it comes to my attention that he's just published an account of some of his time in Iraq titled The Highlanders: Charlie Company goes to the Iraq Training Center. I'm looking forward to reading his accounts of time spent away from the game and in the real deal. S! to you Kbar and all the men and women who have served along side of you.

Thanks to Onchas for the heads up on this one. Looking forward to seeing you at the next con K.

Happy Holidays!

Well, the holidays have come and gone and we're back to work on getting 1.28 out the door. I'd like to thank everyone for all the well wishes...in case you haven't heard, she said yes! That's right, there'll be a Mrs. Gophur in the near future, though, I'm sure if you call her that she's likely to punch me in the mouth. Love is great, truly. I am a lucky man.

In other news, this is the strangest holiday thing I've seen since my new pet robot got after the cats.

So I've been installing Picasa from Google on my rig today and it has this amazing feature to search through all of the images on my rig very easily. This one caught my attention. BTW Lum and SirBruce, you are both free to hit me with that cane at GDC this year is you so feel.
