I’ve made another one of my fun Flash client videos, this time it’s a brief tour of the interface for the Maiden Desmodus web client.

We’ve decided to officially open Maiden Desmodus this month after 6 months of being in open beta. It’s not much of a difference given that we’ve been open to players since June and we’re not having any kind of player wipe but we are having a special event to celebrate on Friday 8th January at… [more]

Earth Eternal is a new browser based MMO from Sparkplay Media, a company formed by Matt Mihaly and Chris Kohnert of Iron Realms Entertainment. I’ve been keeping an eye on the development because of the MUD connection and recently got around to trying it out. This isn’t going to be a review of the game,… [more]

I love Derren Brown, I really do. I find his brand of modern mentalism, where psychology and NLP have replaced psychic powers and ESP, hugely entertaining.

Hot on the heels of my introductory screencast comes this one on making triggers with the IRE client. Hopefully I managed to explain the ‘this’ keyword without making it sound too baffling! Next up will probably be a remake of my aliases tutorial with improved sound and maybe some better examples.

Now that IRE are using the Flash client as their default web based client for new players, I thought it was about time I got around to doing some more screencasts. I even splashed out on a new headset so hopefully the sound is a bit better quality this time. This first video is just… [more]
