Spacing Out
I haven’t yet seen the new Spaces feature in person, but I’ve already had a few discussions with Adam about it. There are a few really exciting developments that I think our community will really like – and I don’t just mean in terms of features. There are surprises coming that will really bowl everyone over, especially anime fans.
Also I’m having a lot of trouble working out what to vote for in the Nifty Fifty ’08. The truth is that there were just so many great threads in 2007; choosing only a few is very difficult. I wonder whether The Almagest Legacy would go in 2007 or 2008…or both? I think it’s a pretty remarkable achievement, even at this early stage. Although to be fair, there have been many wonderful RPGs in 2007.
To finish this post off, I have a question. If you could add just one new forum to OtakuBoards to cover something we don’t presently cover, what would it be?
Meggido: Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. ^_^
Minako: Cool, cool. Mostly I just love the videos. I do like the song “Overpowered” though. I also like a couple of other tracks that, as yet, have no accompanying video.
Nehszriah: Ah yes, Geisha. It is in desperate need of redevelopment. I’m kind of surprised so many people seem to like it!
Hal: Thanks, I hope your Christmas/New Year’s was good. ~_^
Version Vibrant is absolutely new and different to what we’ve had before, but I think people will warm to it. Even I have still not seen much of it (other than an early working model), so it will be a big surprise to me too.
Your supernatural experience sounds freaky, but it reminds me of something someone told me a while ago – not the same thing, but kind of similar. I’ve never had it happen to me, which is good. I don’t think I’d like it!
You’re not trying to look for jobs anymore? It seems to me that one of the problems might be location – are there very few jobs going where you live? Have you considered moving?
I know moving costs money, but what if you stayed with a family member somewhere else? I found that moving gave me many new opportunities that I’d never have had before.
snow fox: Oh wow, you’re going to University of Sydney? That is the oldest, most prestigious university in Australia. I read about it recently; their main building is gorgeous, it’s almost like an old castle. The Clock Tower is beautiful, especially. Good on you!
You will love Sydney. Do you know where you are going to stay? I can recommend suburbs for you. ~_^
If there’s anything you want to know about living here, feel free to ask! I’m more than happy to help.
And I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Korey: Ah well, if that’s what you want to do then I’d say definitely pursue it. If you enjoy your job, life is so much better!
In terms of gaming journalism, I find that it hasn’t interfered with my enjoyment of games as a recreational thing. However, I only briefly wrote reviews/previews. Now I tend to write feature/editorial type articles, so I play games purely for enjoyment – I’m not forced to play anything. I’m sure I’d feel differently if I was forced to play games in an office all day.
I did have a very Aussie Christmas, by the way! I spent all my time on some of the Central Coast’s most beautiful beaches! (The CC is just north of Sydney). It was wonderful. My arms have gone brown as a result, heheh.
Panda-chan: Ah yes, I’m a pretty strict parent but Amira often gets major points for her cuteness. ~_^
Oh and happy birthday! I know it’s late, but I am not sure if I made a comment on your page. I haven’t checked on many pages here for a while; I really need to sit down and do that soon. I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas/New Year’s as well!
Liam: Thanks, I’m glad you like Indigo. It feels good to freshen up the site a little.
And yes, we would love to have you back at OB! At some point I will launch a new RPG of my own, which the lovely Crystia is assisting me with (and doing a brilliant job, I might add – evil minds clearly think alike!). Perhaps you should join that. ~_^
Crystia: I get hay fever (and Amira doesn’t help), but it’s not too bad. It just motivates me to actually take the medication for it, haha.
Thanks again for all your help on the RPG. I think it’s going to be awesome. Your mind is even more evil than I first thought! ~_^
Aaryanna: I feel like I missed the boat on Silver One. That looks like it would have been fun to join.
And yes, Amira always seems to bring new tricks out of her bag of secrets. It’s a bit of a worry sometimes, haha. She has one new habit a week, I think. O_O
Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
SunfallE: Thanks, I hope your Christmas was excellent! I will definitely post more puppy pictures soon. And I still have to post some images from Melbourne. Unfortunately I only have a camera phone, so I might post some of those images plus some others.
