The 600 Years from the macula on Vimeo. A special event for the 600th anniversary of the Astronomical Clocks in Prague.
I found this an interesting point: since switching to the free-to-play model barely over a month ago, LOTROs revenue has doubled. Thats a pretty big increase, considering that paying at all is optional (sort of.) Apparently 53% of all players have used the in-game store, though thats a fairly useless statistic, in terms of actual [...]
For those who havent heard, Lord of the Rings Online is now free-to-play. As Ive played the game before and found it pretty much fun (though not QUITE as much fun as World of Warcraft), I found it impossible to resist returning to the game. As with any so-called free-to-play game, free is quite a bit [...]
Just thought this was pretty funny The best part is the P-p-p-p-p-p product placement line. The telephone video has some of the most blatant and jarring product placement since I, Robot, where the action would simply grind to a halt every once in a while so that people could compliment Will Smiths vintage sneakers.

Apparently even Dr. Phil had an episode about it, dealing with people addicted to Farmville (I know about that only from what Ive heard. Trust me, I dont watch Dr. Phil.) Apparently theres 60 times more people playing Farmville than [...]
Lately Ive been playing a lot of games over on Facebook. Theres an amazing amount of games available over there. Some of them are pretty good. Some of them are amazingly bad. Ill start by reviewing one of the first games that I started playing on Facebook, Cafe World. Im a big fan of cooking shows. [...]
I finally found some of the new Mountain Dew Game Fuel the other day, at Walmart. As it combines my 2 greatest loves in life, Mountain Dew and World of Warcraft, I obviously needed it. It comes in 2 flavors, one for each side, Horde Red and Alliance Blue. Ill start with Alliance Blue: Alliance Blue [...]
