Full of win?
4chan has an experimental board up, /r9k/. Interestingly, it uses the system designed for the #xkcd-signal channel, where only unique posts are allowed and repetition results in a temporary silencing. New trend? Full of win?
Look at me still talking
Found on Digg, Joystiq has a video of Jonathan Coulton preforming Still Alive at the GDC. How I wished I owned Rock Band so I could enjoy this upcoming 99ยข of Gladness.
In further news, I’m still talking at the darkness here. I can’t wait until it starts talking back.
Hello Kitty Online
I got an e-mail Friday night that went like this:
“Thank you for subscribing to Hello Kitty Online closed beta!
As much as we would like to accommodate all our subscribers, there are only a limited number of accounts to give out. We would like to pick best people to test the game, so this is your chance to tell us why you should be one of the chosen applicants. Here’s how you can get an account:
- Create an account in SanrioTown.com and log-in.
- Go to Dream Studio and create a video answering the question “Why do you think you should be selected for the closed beta testing?”..
- The length of the video should be at least 15 seconds / 3 slides.
- Include “mmorpg” in the video’s tags.
- After saving the video, use the “Send video” function at the lower right corner of the page. Input the email address that you’ve used to subscribe for the closed beta account in the “Personal message” field, and send it to mmorpg @ hellokitty.com.
- Multiple entries are allowed.
All submissions should be sent by 9 March 2008, 23:59 Hong Kong time. You can check out the Dream Studio tutorial (English / Chinese) for help on how to make your video. SanrioTown reserves the right to pick the earliest and best videos based on our own judgment.
SanrioTown reserves the right to pick the earliest and best videos based on our own judgment. Don’t forget to check the Hello Kitty online game site and the official HKO blog for updates.
Hurry! The number of slots is really limited, so be sure to make those videos as soon as possible. Screening will run on a “first come first serve” basis, so don’t miss out on this chance to get a closed beta account! Good luck!”
First, I’d like to say in my defence I can’t remember what state of mind I was in when I signed up for this “Hello Kitty Online” closed beta. Probably I would catagorize that state as “bored.” I’m going to blame boredom again as I admit, I did, in fact, sink to the humiliation of creating a 1:10min slideshow begging for a spot in the beta.
Layout Gripes
Ok, so the fact I can’t change the font color without paying money is a little annoying but I guess one can’t complain when she is using free web hosting and someone else’s basic layout.
