Welcome to Gaia! ::

Forgot, because the anxious meltdowns of embarrassed hypocrites was so interesting...the Chinese site says some amazing things.

The "60" on the site means the country is celebrating 60 years since the Communist overthrow. A celebratory post by a mod (!) reads:



:V wow.

lolol. Since they imported Gaia they have to import -everything- it's like importing from them and getting weevils in the products. It's all part of the package! xD

It's ironic that the hand-wringers don't realize how these "rude Americans" are made. No morals, no discipline and plenty of exposure to ugly things makes for mannerless, unfeeling kids. Oh, but their horizons have been broadened. Yay.

...I'm guessing you got sucked in.

On the subject of repetitive yet addictive facebook games twisted let me recommend mindjolt and kongregate.

Hey, now that you mention it, it does look like the overseer.

I remember going over the unforgivable sin in church, but the translation the preacher used did not use the word blasphemy, it was something like 'knowingly rejects the Holy Spirit,' or... I don't remember. He was using some weird translation that he swears by, that isn't published any more. I can't remember what it's called.

Boo is a poor name for the good guy... I think it's just supposed to be in the spirit of halloween, with the ghosts and all. Casper the friendly ghost, type of thing. I think. I don't really like how it was done, and haven't decided whether or not to participate.

Did you choose a side?

Analyze tanks? What?

Mindjolt games are played on facebook. The links to games on the kongregate page (on facebook) redirect you to kongregate.com. I think it asks you to make an account at some point. But, it's a free account and it's linked to your facebook account, if you make it through facebook. It's a reputable site, though. I think kongregate is better... the downside is that there's a chat thingy, and I think most people on the site are under thirteen years old.

Well, that's weird. I would think the only ones to leave Facebook would be those individuals realizing it wastes too much time, not game companies. Unless FB charges them for accounts.

The Gaia Halloween event is well under way. The winning side gets to keep the (removable but soulbound) faction skin. BOO skin is clammy-pale and the eyes are tiny and red, and appear to be without the faculty of vision. SIN skin is red, rough and tattooed. The SIN side is expected to win as it has more people and slightly better items. Jokes have been made about the symbolism of the event - in the animated graphic of the battle, the male side has a thrusting weapon, the female side a gaping hole. WUT?

Oh, and the Overseer in our Aquariums has been replaced with one of the boytoy mermen from the Venus pool. Hmm.

Back to the event - I wonder how many people realized it's less time and effort to exchange game items between teams instead of trying to build them. The initial loot items for one side are identical to the end loot, so there's not much sense in trying to painfully build them up if you have buddies who will swap with you.

More rats pressing levers...sigh.

Hmmm...I believe Gaia's stolen some music. :/
The beginning of Debussey's "Serenade for the Doll" from Children's Corner Suite sounds like one of the pieces in zOMG.

It's not a crime to steal works that are old, because old works are not protected by copyright, but the assumption is that because it's so old, everyone will know you're not the genius that came up with it.
