R.I.P. December 27, 2011

Rest in Peace Go-Daddy (who thought internet censorship was a good idea) and Ocean Marketing (Customer service shouldn't belittle their customers) which are both companies circling round the toilet bowl today. 



Lessons for any company that wants to stay in business. Learn who your customers are, be nice to them and don't try to screw them over with government intrusion. Also, treat your customers with respect. Word of mouth was damaging to companies a couple thousand years ago. With the invention of the internet, Word of Mouth got a lot more powerful.

It is almost Christmas time so lets see some wishlists. Even if you know you won't get it, what do you want that is currently out? For me it is these in no particular order:

  • Serious Sam 3 (PC)
  • The One Ring: Adventures Over the Edge of the Wild (Tabletop RPG)
  • Those Who Walked Amongst Us (Tabletop RPG)
  • Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Wii)
  • Deus Ex (PC)
  • The Oregon Trail (Wii)
  • More models for Anima Tactics
  • Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Wii)

Feel free to post some of your own lists.

This is how you stop online "Piracy"

Serious Sam: BFE "Begone Freeloading Enemies" has introduced a clever way of dealing with pirates. Stick an unkillable foe that follows them and torments them in the game. Way to go Croteam!
