Stay tuned for the full report, in which Old Pete attempts to take over the program...



Timmy:[/list] Hiya, folks! Welcome to the Evolving Item Report... as you can see, Old Pete has still been refusin' to leave. That just goes to show you, ladies an' gentleman: never talk to weird ol' filthy guys on the street, cause you never know how long they're gonna follow you around. Isn't that right, you rascally ol' nuisance?

    Old Pete: Skin done grewn over my robe.

Timmy:[/list] That's great, Pete. Anywho, I think me and Pete came to some kinda agreement: he'll leave if I let him take over the show this week. I guess he's been harborin' a secret desire to be famous this whole time.

    Old Pete: Hrmph. Just wanna be adored by my public.

Timmy:[/list] Basically, I'm gonna give you the real info, then I'm gonna let Old Pete take over and say whatever the heck he wants, I guess. So, here goes: we've got one item evolvin' this week, but it's a real cool one-- the Dappy Dandy has some excellent new stuff for all you fashionable types out there! Maybe you should invest in one of these and get yerself cleaned up a little, Pete.

    Old Pete: My turn yet? Famous time.

Timmy:[/list] Wait! Not quite! First I gotta tell everyone about our weekly EI poll, where you can let us know which items you like the best. So, Pete, now's your time to step into the spotlight...

    Old Pete: Hrmph, ladies and gangle! Got 'em evolin' fellas gonna happen this week, and I'm a host. Old Pete gonna host this baby. I'm on TV. And this is my sidekick, Dr. Sink. Ain't that right, uh, Dr. Sink?

Timmy:[/list] That's right, Pete!

    Old Pete: Say it high! Say 'er high like a lady!

Timmy:[/list] Uh... that's right, Pete!

    Old Pete: Thanks, Dr. Sink. Now let's get them fellas evolved. This week, got four items got 'em new pose happenin': first, strange new tides for Gary's Island Adventure! Looks, uh, looks like Gary got hisself a new pair of coconut pants and a sea bird peckin' on his face.

Timmy:[/list] Say, Pete, that's, uh, that's not a real item...

    Old Pete: Shut yer damn face, Dr. Sink! Gary's Island Adventure. And, hrmph, looks like... got lots of new posin' and voguein' on the... Dark Chef. Chef gettin' even darker this week, got us a new bloody spatula and a cut-off hand stickin' out the... what you call it... that meat grinder.

Timmy:[/list] That, uh, yeah, that sounds great, Pete! Tell us more.

    Old Pete: Next, big new painting stuff in the Philosopher's Portrait. When you look at the painting, it stares back into your soul, Dr. Sink! This week, our philosopher is the classical orator Bophucles, who invented, uh, the concept of thinking.

Timmy:[/list] Well, looks like we're just about out of time, Pete, so maybe you should start wrappin' it--

    Old Pete: No! Gotta have more items! So, uh, last thing today got the Martyrdom of Saint Eustace-- this week got Eustace stuck in a big metal cask shaped like a bull, and they prepare to light some big fires up under him! Will his god save him in time, Dr. Sink, or he gonna get martyred to death? Find out!

Timmy:[/list] Uh, I guess the fake item is called "martyrdom," so probably he's gonna--

    Old Pete: FIND OUT!!!! OK, show's over! Goodnight Dr. Sink! Now I'm famous and you're my wife.

Timmy:[/list] Uh.... ]]>

Read on for the full report, in which Timmy tries to rid himself of Old Pete...



Timmy: Hi, everyone! It's your old pal Timmy with another Evolving Item Report... I'm still on the road tryin' to find some kinda spiritual enlightenment, and lemme tell ya, it hasn't been goin' too well so far... I swear I passed the same bus station two days in a row, and I'm startin' to get the feeling Pete is just kinda leadin' me in circles. I'm thinkin' it might be time for us to go our separate ways-- what do you say to that, Pete?

    Old Pete: Marburf.

Timmy: You'll have to excuse Old Pete-- he just drank a bulk-sized tin of brass polish and he's been kinda stumblin' around and sayin' words that aren't really words for the past few hours.

    Old Pete: Yfgwby.

Timmy: ...Jeepers, Pete! I don't even know how you said that one, bein' as how it seems like that combination of consonants would be unpronounceable! Do another one!

    Old Pete: Gjrbxd.

Timmy: Golly, that's incredible! They should give you a TV show of your own or somethin' where you just drink toxic chemicals and say words that can't be spoken without movin' your tongue in the fourth dimension.

    Old Pete: Halvah.

Timmy: I think that one's a real word, Pete, but I appreciate the effort. Anywho, folks, we'd better get on with the show, since we've got a real special thing to report: The Nightmare is reachin' its final evolution this week! This thing has been a real thrill-ride of scares, and I gotta admit that I've often been too afraid to go to the bathroom at night since I started reportin' on this thing, which has led to some real unpleasant situations.

    Old Pete: Got bathroom problems myself, Tommy.

Timmy: Hey, looks like Pete's lucid again. Run out of brass polish, buddy? So, yeah, we've also got a new update to the Hidden Ace, which is still in its earlier stages of evolvin', so the sky's really the limit on this one-- who knows where it's gonna take us?

    Old Pete: My shoes got arrested.

Timmy: That's... terrible? I guess that's it for this week, folks, but remember to stop by and vote in our evolving item poll so you can let us know which ones you like best. And, uh, back to what I was sayin' before: Pete, I think you've been hangin' around long enough, and maybe it's time we parted ways so I can do my spiritual journey in solitude, OK?

    Old Pete: Nope.

Timmy: Y'see, Old Pete, I've appreciated all your guidance and everything, but I'm thinkin' I haven't really made any spiritual progress while you've been around, so maybe I should do this alone. That alright with you, Pete?

    Old Pete: Nuh uh. Pete's gonna keep follerin' you around forever.

Timmy: Well... hmm... this is awkward.

    Old Pete: Swig of the ol' brass polish gonna melt all that awkwardness away... yer want some? Jbprf.

Timmy: No thanks, Pete. ]]>

It's autumn, my darlings! That lovely time of year when the leaves change, the air grows brisker, the days get shorter and the prospect of getting out of your nice warm bed in the morning seems less attractive than ever. Thankfully, my fellow shopkeepers and I have some cozy new clothes in stock: beautiful coats and sweaters, a selection of warm hats and some lovely new legwarmers. I've also got some very nice new glasses, since we wouldn't want your contact lenses freezing to your poor eyeballs in the chilly fall air.



Various shops will also be filling in some miscellaneous gaps-- keep an eye out for some previously unreleased and newly recolored items scattered around.

Mirai: Heeeeeeeeyyyy everybody! Me and Barrett just wanted to stop by and let you know about some new friends arriving in aquariums today!

    Barrett: AHHHH!!! The Overseer has forsaken us!

Mirai: Shush, Barrett! He's just taking some personal time. Let's focus on something more positive, OK? Tell us about Mr. Pinchi!



    Barrett: Uh, right, right. Mr. Pinchi is a friendly crab creature. Like most crabs, he tends to keep a low profile. By that I mean he walks on the bottom of your tank.

Mirai: And Mr. Cooks?

    Barrett: Mr. Cooks is a lobster, which is sort of the long, red cousin of the crab. He, too, is a bottom dweller. Lobsters are mostly known for their taste, but they also have great personalities, too. In fact--

Mirai: Sure, Barrett! And finally, we have the Dolphin! What can you tell us about dolphins, Barrett?

    Barrett: Well, they're smart and crafty for sure. Dolphins tend to be excellent at figuring things out, like Sudoku or VCR programming. What's great about dolphins is that they boast a unique talent: the ability to drop Red Coins in Booty Grab, each worth 4 Gold!

Mirai: What the heck's a VCR, Barrett? Anyway, you can find these new fishy friends on sale right now in Phin Phang! Stop by and say hi!

    Barrett: If anybody has any tips for coping with having your demigod take possession of a scrawny naked guy, transform into some other guy, lose a small holy war, and then get stripped of his powers, I'd love to hear 'em. I'm having a crisis of faith over here.

Mirai: We both know the Overseer works in mysterious ways, so I'm sure this is all part of some divine plan. Well, I think that does it for this week! We'll see you guys later! Bye bye!

Halloween has come and gone, bringing the titanic struggle between The Overseer and The Sentinel to a close. This is Cindy Donovinh reporting live from a battleground riddled with smashed pumpkins, dead worms, and so much salt water. After a long and grueling conflict, the Infernal Nation triumphed, leaving the Benevolent Order in disarray.

As a result, the members of the Infernal Nation will get to keep their unique skin, bestowed upon them by The Sentinel. Followers of The Overseer won't go home empty handed: their skin will be transforming into something of a "consolation prize."

For a full recap of the final moments of the battle, be sure to check out the latest manga!

Timmy: Hey! Yeah, so the whole spiritual quest hasn't been goin' too well so far, but I'm hopin' it's gonna pick up soon... Old Pete led me to this weird church yesterday, but we got thrown out on account of his unique hygiene arrangements, and plus it turned out it wasn't actually a church.

    Old Pete: Ayup.

Timmy: More of, I don't know, kind of a club. A club where they serve lots of chicken wings and there's lotsa ladies dancing around wearin' real funny costumes. Coulda sworn it was a church, cause of all the neon lights and whatnot...

    Old Pete: Urf. Bug crawled down my ear in the night.

Timmy: So anyway, I'm startin' to think maybe Old Pete isn't the most spiritually useful guy to have hangin' around me... then again, he is real good at findin' discarded food, so I've been savin' a lot of money on meals.

    Old Pete: Trashburger's just as good as a new one.

Timmy: Anywho, we'd better get to the item news! It's kinda slim pickin's in the EI department today, but they're makin' for the small quantity with some real high quality: the Seracila Pendant is gettin' a great update, with a bunch of totally new styles like Gaia's never seen before. I love it! What do you think, Pete?

    Old Pete: That dog told me to agree with what you say or the secret dog government gonna put me in a camp, then I'm gonna pherghafrep...

Timmy: You know, Pete, sometimes I think you're crazy-- but once in a while, like right now for example, you start makin' a whole lotta sense. We gotta finish up the show now by tellin' all the folks at home to stop by and vote in our poll, but you really gotta tell me more about this secret dog government!

    Old Pete: Dog government. Yup.

Timmy: Fascinating... please go on!

Hiya, folks! Things have been awfully busy lately, what with the whole battle between good and evil going on. Thankfully, I was able to break away from all this epic clashin' just long enough to stock some new goodies. Take a look!


    O Righteous One brings you the full wardrobe of the Overseer in his original form, before his unfortunate (but glorious) transformation into a clam. You can also have the majestic Overseer of Old stand next to you, silently judging your every move.

    Look positively demonic with Her Infernal Majesty, featuring the Sentinel's entire wardrobe. It also has a companion pose, if you're into having scary devil ladies stand next to you.

    My Little Overseer takes your favorite benevolent clam god and turns him into an adorable plushie to hold and gently squeeze like a small kitten or a ripe melon.

    Allegiance Bundle: get all of the above plus the bonus Autumn Wings in one sweet, discount package.

If you'd like to grab any of these items, just come see me in the Cash Shop!

Read on for the full report, in which Timmy gains a spiritual follower...



Timmy: Hullo there, everybody! This is the Evolving Item Report, I guess... I'm still off on my spiritual journey and the Doc wanted me to do the show from the road, but I'm not really sure what I'm doin' so I'm just kinda wingin' it.

    Old Pete: *Snrrrrrt*

Timmy: Oh, and uh... well, I met this "Old Pete" fella last week and asked him for some advice, 'cuz I thought he was some kinda spiritual leader on account of his beard and robes, but now I'm thinkin' maybe he's just a wandering tramp.

    Old Pete: Government took m'beans.

Timmy: And he's just been, y'know, kinda following me around, so... I guess I've got myself a fellow pilgrim! A spiritual disciple who will follow me on my journey, until he gets bored or confused and wanders off!

    Old Pete: Dogs ain't got the manners they used to... where's the dog hospitality... god-danged police dog state is what it is.

Timmy: So.... yeah. I guess we better start talkin' about the items before the audience gets confused and wanders off, huh? Get it? Little joke, there, Pete.

    Old Pete: Harf! Yeah. Watskeburt.

Timmy: That wasn't a word, Pete, but I'm glad you liked it. Anywho, we got some real nice things to report this week: first up, there's a brand new item! The Dappy Dandy is exactly the sort of fancy clothes a guy like me could enjoy... once I get all rich and successful and spiritually pure, of course. How'bout you, Pete? I think you'd look great in a fancy gentleman's outfit!

    Old Pete: Carn't take the robes off. Been sleepin' in 'em for s'long my skin grewn into 'em.

Timmy: Grody! Well, next up, we got a real nice new update to the Hidden Ace! Even though I'm not much of a "cards man," as they say, I think this item has a really neat theme, and it's carried out real splendid-like this week. How'bout you, Pete? You a gambler?

    Old Pete: Yope. Won this cat in a game of twos-and-queens.

Timmy: What cat?

    Old Pete: ...Oh.

Timmy: And since it's nearin' Halloween and all-- sorry I haven't got a costume, but I've been on the road-- we've got some great scary stuff to report: the Bad Moon is reachin' its final state this week with a buncha new wolfy madness, and The Nightmare is gettin' another creepy-crawly update courtesy of the artist behind the Enchanted Book!

    Old Pete: Mmm. Grubs.

Timmy: I guess that's about it for this week-- remember to stop in and vote in our weekly EI poll to let us know your favorites, and say hi to Dr. Singh if you see her. Sure is lonesome without her, but I guess I'm glad to have Old Pete for some companionship. Say, Pete, you don't look that old... why do they call you "Old Pete"?

    Old Pete: Welp. Used to be New Pete but then there was a newer Pete, and the old Old Pete passed away from the oral burpies. And then I was Old Pete. Plus I drank a can of spoiled brass polish and now I got holes in my brain like a ninety-year-old.

Timmy: Jeepers, Pete, that's the most lucid thing I've ever heard you say, but it was still totally insane at the same time!

[list]Old Pete: What? Harf. ]]>

In celebration of its one-year anniversary, zOMG! is getting all seasonally sensitive with a whole host of Halloween horrors. Vampires and werewolves are out for blood, launching new attacks every night (in game time). These strange creatures seem to be emanating from portals appearing all over the place. Rumor has it that if you fight your way through one, you'll end up in a nest full of baddies... not to mention a lot of potential loot.

You can also expect the return of pesky pumpkin fluffs in Barton Town, plus nightly trick-or-treating with the NPCs (also in game time).

To get in on the action, just load up zOMG! already!

Play zOMG!

Hiya, Gang! I've got a brand new evolving item in stock that's sure to turn some heads. Dappy Dandy features a lot of colorful accessories to garnish even the most seasoned of fops.


    Dappy Dandy celebrates the grandiose flamboyancy of being a dapper gentleman. Expect this EI to go on a fantastical voyage through the realms of challenging beards and fine, fancy attire.

New Forum: Supernatural

    Hey, there's a new forum! Just in time for Halloween, we've dreamt up a brand new place to discuss vampires, werewolves, bigfoots (bigfeet?), yetis, apocryphal lake monsters, ghosts, fairies, Santas, etc. Our new Supernatural Forum is a permanent place for all you aspiring paranormal investigators to meet, shake hands, and exchange your gooey ectoplasm in a safe, nurturing environment.

    I Want to Believe!


Quick Reply!

    See the little down arrow on the right side of the "reply" button in the forums? Click on that to post a reply without even leaving the page! You won't get all the fancy formatting buttons, but if you just want to make a quick post without leaving the page, it's perfect timesaver for today's busy forum poster on the go.


New Homepage Test

    Over the next few weeks, we're planning on trying out some new looks for the logged-out homepage, so a certain percentage of you guys might see something like this when you visit Gaia:




    Each of the top tabs will showcase a different feature of Gaia; we just wanted to show new unregistered visitors some of the best stuff without overwhelming them with a ton of content.

    There's not really much else to tell-- we just didn't want you to be freaked out when you visited Gaia and it looked all cool and unfamiliar. Beyond that, there aren't any changes to the site's registration process or anything.


Office Costume Survey: Vote!

It being Halloween and all, we decided to have a little costume contest around the Gaia office. Being staunch believers in democracy and egalitarianism, we thought we'd let you, the people, vote on which ones are the best. Voting is open till Monday, so please check it out!

Vote!
