No, I didn't get lazy and quit the blog. It was a technical issue that so abruptly killed the two month long posting streak. See, this blog is kindly hosted by the fine folks at Freeverse Software. Freeverse is known for quarky and brilliant games like Burning Monkey Solitaire (which I recently reviewed), Burning Monkey Mahjong and their latest, Kill Monty. Now, one might ask, "what is their fascination with monkeys?" The answer is sort of a secret and I'm kind of uncomfortable writing about, but I think they'll forgive me... Basically, Freeverse shares their office building with several packs of wild monkeys. The monkeys were already there when they moved in, and while I don't fully understand why they can't evict the monkeys, I know it has something to do with New York City's rent control laws. Anyway, sometimes the monkeys resent sharing their building with a software developer, so once or twice every few years the monkeys take a random server from FV HQ and whimsically toss it off the roof just to gleefully watch as it shatters on the street below. Such was the case last week and that's why my blog was halted.
I'll post again later, but first I'm off to buy more anime.
