It's at the very edge of your hearing. Did you imagine it? Was there really a voice? What did it say again...?

It. Is Coming....

Do you want to know what it is..... what was that you were afraid of when you were a child again? Oh yes.... that's right.... the worst part? That fear? The one you rationalized away as an adult? It's real..... it's very real.... the voice was just the beginning....

If this has anything to do with a toy story character I am going to be very disappointed.

Damn it, Dave, that is the worst title and thread topic I've seen in a long time, and believe me, there is a plethora of banality to choose from. Shame on you, sir, shame.

You look around, attempting in vain to figure out what is going on. Your eyes move to the top of the screen and you see something. Something new. Something wonderful!

You click it, but are denied.

Soon. The voice whispers. Soon.

A couple of things on the Arcade. Right now it's closed beta with an NDA, which is why I can't open it up quite yet. There are a few known bugs, but these are fairly major so they are being worked on.

I've allowed Admins only to test it out but am thinking about creating a "Test" group for a select few to help test it out before it gets opened. Not that there's much testing right now. There's only 6 games and right now I can't add more. But it was just released last night so it'll get better.

Quick update. Right now it's still in closed Beta so I can't open it up yet. I've practiced adding games and currently it's a multi-step and laborious process. Because of this I've only added a few. Also, games I add right now don't save scores. Which sucks because it's the only time I'll be able to beat Drifter.

Hopefully Space Invaders will be in there so I can put up an insane, lengthy score no one will ever (bother to have the time to) beat.

I say ban Drifter for, say, the first month or so. Then afterwards watch him take no longer than 72 hours to beat all the high scores.

Last time I bothered to wander into the arcade, Coral was putting up some absolutely insane scores. Like, double my previous high scores. My mind, it was boggled.

Arcade Update: They changed the NDA which says that I can open it up and not hog it all to myself. Before I do, though, I want to add a few more games. Please note that this is a beta and is actually pretty close to being an alpha. It has some issues - actually it has a lot of issues - so instead of having a bunch of people report the same things, here's the known issues:

  • Formatting is terrible right now. Games are scrunched to the left of the page and there is a lot of blank space to the right.
  • Most games don't save scores.
  • Some games give ZEND errors when trying to save scores.
  • Some games just give a one line error when saving scores.
The rest of the known bugs are Admin in nature and have to do with loading/deleting games and the like, which is why I've been very careful about which games I've loaded. They are a pain in the ass to get rid of.

So I'll probably turn it on sometime tomorrow. I know it looks only okay and that it's very broken, but it's a start and it'll only get better.

So, it's not ready yet... going to keep myself busy in the meanwhile.

I got word that a new version was to be released today, so I am waiting. Plus I have no idea how good the games I have are. And since right now it's a pain in the ass to delete them, I'm being careful.

I have a lot of them, but they keep saying, "The new version is coming out!!" and it's supposed to be easier to add games...so I'm waiting. I have a metric fuckton of games I can add, even though I do not know their quality.

Well, I've now opened it up. The promised update was not as robust as I'd have liked. I'll be adding games today.

Remember, most scores aren't saving yet. Which is annoying, but there you go.
