I think I had a whole comedy bit a few years ago about exactly this … Raph Koster writes a book on Fun Theory. As I recall, it was killer.
Sadly, my audiences have been limited to GUILDS reading my material through GUILDCHAT; nonetheless, it was killer.
You might wonder if I’d pick this up for the material. You’d be wrong.
From Gamespot:
After the news of the passing of Christopher Reeve hit the airwaves, players of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game City of Heroes gathered together for a memorial for the fallen hero. Players gathered in full hero garb and saluted in tandem in memory of the man best known for playing Superman on the big screen. Reeve, who became a champion of spinal cord research following a paralyzing horse riding accident in 1995, died Monday as a result of heart failure stemming from an infection related to his paralysis. He was 52 years old.
I must be a real son of a bitch, because that sounds creepy.
“Warhammer Online, presumed dead and buried, is still being actively developed and shopped around to potential publishers” … excerpt from: Gamespot … not according to Warhammer’s website (yet), but if it is, and they are, then good luck with all of that.
