Subspace - the longest running graphical internet game, still poppin.
Tucows used to be the good spot to feature your product on. Nowadays it is just better to get multiple hits with google. shareware was up to date, subspace was big hit as a beta program. Thousands of players got involved in testing the game up to 1.0 which was released as a full fledged pay-to-play internet game.
Owned by Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE), the game soon became too much of a bandwidth sucker for the low profits involved. Virgin's policy has always been hype up a gimmick, collect the profits, and pull it off the market. Same thing happened with Virgin cola, their weak ass airline, and all the rest of their goofy products. At least the CEO looks like he gets some shapely tail on lifestyles of the rich and famous. Nothing like Tom Vu, though.
Subspace is still around. ASWZ, one of the original user-run zones, is still one of the best place for newbies to learn the ropes and for seasoned pilots to own them. Come join us and be EZ $$, I'll be glad to shoot your ass. This game is so addictive it is the last program I run on my 200 Mhz Windows 98 crapbox.

The IBM Selectric Typewriter Changed My Life
I ran my hands lovingly across her frame, lightly brushing her metallic nipples with my fingers, admiring the shapes and the ways of her curves, the empathetic hum she produced as I had my way with her, the way she made it all seem so effortless and right... she didn't even seem to mind the way I roughly manipulated her knobs and tweaked her casing. She was extremely tolerant, for a typewriter. (More...)

It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)
Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)
