GuildCafe

Here’s another Myspace for game characters, I guess: GuildCafe. They just got a hot VC injection from IDG Ventures for buying pizza or juicing up the website, something like that.
I just gotta wonder, why? Venture capitalists do not screw around — they expect big returns within a defined amount of time, so where is this big return going to come from? Click throughs? Procter & Gamble advertising? I don’t think so, but I lack vision.
Anyways, the site itself is flash-tastic and a little rustic, however, there are several contributors working hard on content and being nice to everyone (before the community is ruined by Gamer Asshats like every other gaming community).

Lord of the Rings Online is celebrating the Summer Solstice through July 10th with special in-game events, weed, fireworks, and quests. (Shameless WoW clone!) Unlike the real Solstice festival in my area, parking will not be an issue, however, the chickens are.: Known issue with errant chickens borking the Hobnanigans event.
