I haven’t blogged anything for a while so I thought it would be fun to play some new MUDs and post reviews of them here. So if anyone wants me to review their MUD please let me know! I run a MUD of my own so obviously I can’t claim to be completely free from … Continue reading Anyone for MUD Reviews?

Allods Online Cash Shop Woes
I played a little Allods Online during the closed beta and was impressed with what I saw. It felt polished for a free to play game, and there was just the right balance of WoW clone and original features to give it a broad appeal. This week the cash shop opened, and boy are the … Continue reading Allods Online Cash Shop Woes
Integrating Kongregate Authentication
We recently launched Maiden Desmodus on Kongregate and part of converting the client for their site involved integrating their user authentication with our own account system. This was a fairly simple process, but I’ll outline the steps I took here in case it proves useful to anyone else. When users connect to Maiden Desmodus for … Continue reading Integrating Kongregate Authentication

Derren Brown: The Events
I love Derren Brown, I really do. I find his brand of modern mentalism, where psychology and NLP have replaced psychic powers and ESP, hugely entertaining. Tonight’s show was the first in his new series, The Events, and it was utter bullshit. On Wednesday he did a 10 minute live show where he appeared to … Continue reading Derren Brown: The Events
Mortal Online Beta
I’ve been following Mortal Online for a while now and was tempted to purchase the game to join the beta, but when I saw the price of 69 EUR I decided to wait and see for a while before diving in. Looks like I made a wise decision as by all accounts the beta isn’t … Continue reading Mortal Online Beta
