SWGEmu got some press recently, essentially because SOE still hasn't crushed it. (I can't find the article, but it was pretty old news, given that SOE not having crushed SWGEmu has been the [somewhat un-]natural state of affairs since SWGEmu started.)

Besides interesting thoughts about the legal status of private servers and emulators, it got me thinking about how Star Wars Galaxies had been.

Saw something odd today, a van branded for a company called 'Black Hole Storage'.

If I wanted to name a storage firm, I wouldn't take inspiration from something that takes your stuff and never lets you have it back.

The list of reasons to have a PS3 is slowly but surely racking up.

I'll buy one sooner or later.

As I mentioned before, there have been some interesting articles on immersion on various sites lately, namely Wolfshead (who describe's how WoW's marketing and other decisions are eroding what immersion it originally had), evizaer of That's Terrible Idea (who felt that it didn't have any to begin with), and Tobold who thinks the whole thing is moot.
