Happy new year! We’ve got some great games to play!
Choice of Games had a huge rush of games coming out before Christmas, including The Last Monster Master, Psy High, and Choice of Robots. Choice of Robots is our top-rated game of the year on Steam, iOS, and Android, so we could certainly try at least part of that. (It’s 20,000 words per play through, 300,000 words in all, so we probably couldn’t finish it.)
80 Days launched a new “North Pole” path which we could try. (I’ll bring my iPad.) TIME magazine declared 80 Days their game of the year!
Or we could try visiting Seltani, Andrew Plotkin’s Myst-based shared-world IF game. Ryan Veeder recently coded up a world in it called Bluedorn and has been giving tours, but we may or may not just storm in and touch linking books at random to see where it takes us.
Or we can try something you bring! (Speaking of which, I’ll bring pizza, so please RSVP. Cheeseboard is closed until next week, so I’ll bring something else.)
Ooh I’m actually in a position to attend this one! I’m visiting my family in the South Bay and we’ll be taking a day trip Berkeley/Oakland-wards on Saturday.
About how long do these usually run? Does the MADE charge admission?
Excuse me sir, but do you have a few minutes to hear about Mailinator? You can use it to create one-use email addresses for signing up to things you may not care about. (Spamgourmet does something similar.)
Which is to say, yes, I suppose you can RSVP here, but do let me know if you’ll want pizza so we know how much to get.
Ha; it just seems sort of weird to RSVP essentially anonymously (because, yeah, I’d not bother filling out a profile) over there versus as an established entity here.
