I usually don’t reblog flash games I find, most are so TERRIBLE and stupid, but who doesn’t love to burn stuff? Poor citizens of Ant City, they were so carefree, they had such full lives, until YOU showed up and you’ll have to ruin everything, won’t you? Ant City
The Chronicles of Spellborn, another MMOG about battling evil in a persistent pretend world, recently sent out invites for closed beta. I don’t know anything other than what I read there and in the FAQ … oh yeah, and what I read over at VirginWorlds … but I also found a Betawatcher contest you can enter for a beta key. Answer some questions about TCoS, maybe score a key. Contest ends January 25th. You’re welcome. (Maybe. If it sucks, I’m sure you won’t be thanking me, but we’ll cross that bridge later.)
Engage In-Game Advertising “A joint survey conducted by Nielsen and DoubleFusion shows a very favorable attitude toward in-game ads…” huh? I don’t know anybody who wants in-game advertising but how about this evil idea … you’re waiting in the Warcraft queue, because almost all the servers have queues nowadays, and instead of staring at the two tall statues with the fire blowing all around, you’re staring at advertisements for soft drinks, pizza and cigarettes. Don’t think that’s so far-fetched — a captive audience, a harmless ad, it’s all downhill from there.
