There have been several projects in development that are trying to hybridize both the web and gaming. Metaplace is one of those - and well, so are the thousands of flash games out there too - but there are others out there bringing games to the web in other interesting ways as well. One of those games is a low profile MMORTS known as Dreamlords . This game features a 3D game client that allows players to control units and lead them into battle like a normal RTS game (although a fairly cut down one), but it also allows players to control their lands, structures, and units via a web interface somewhat similar to other browser-based strategy games.
This concept allows someone to enjoy the 3D client when they want, and are able to, dig into the main part of the game. However, if they aren't at their computer, or they only have a few minutes to spare, a player could easily log into the web client to issue a few build orders.
This is far from the only game, much less type of game, that could benefit from intigrating a bit more web into the game.

Well, it has been a little while since I've been able to post, but I've gotten the good old Internets back. Its amazing how terribly isolated you can get from news when you're lacking the Internet... and TV... and you're in the middle of a tiny town in the middle of a giant forest. Anywho, I'd like to pop up a few things quickly to get caught up to speed.

So, I was wrong, I did not take my laptop. Luckily, the hotel has three handy terminals set up for people to use when they wish. Thus, you still get to see my update. And yes, today I have been to Mecca. No, not that Mecca, but the one for Geeks, Nerds, and Otaku. While I would not say I fall into the Otaku catagory and I certainly like to think I fall into the Geek one, it was definitely an interesting place to be. I can safely say I have not seen so many electronic, game, anime/manga, figurine, and other geekish/nerdish/otakuish stores within such a small area before. It certainly put Nipponbashi in Osaka to shame. Regretfully words do not do this place justice and it really requires a visit. Regardless, I will hopefully have some pictures up soon. Tomorrow should be a day filled with travel around Tokyo and sight seeing - I am looking forward to it. It should be a good addition to an already great trip. Not to mention I am looking forward to some rest before then - the over night bus trip did not lend to a restful night.

I have uploaded a few new pieces of writing to the site. One of them is a link to a guide I wrote for Vanguard WarCry some time ago (I haven't a clue why it didn't get up here earlier) for Diplomacy in the game. I also linked each of the new columns I have written for WarCry on here so far as well, and finally, I have a new creative writing piece titled Fading Farewell , which features my fantasy universe I've been building for fun over the last few years. In retrospect, I'm amused there's one new piece for each catagory of writing I have in my Writing section.

In the past I've talked about why I play online games. However, this is really all about online communities, of which online games are a part of - and for my purposes here, the part I'm going to focus on. Yet, because of this, it is worth looking into what is truly interesting, what is truly good, about online communities as a whole.
