Better than WoW? March 23, 2005
Here is an interesting off-line game. It’s multi-player, soloing is not fun. I play it occasionally. It’s not very well balanced, and there is some griefing (though preciously little PK-ing). However, the rewards can be very satisfying.

Ahahahaahahaaa!!!! It’s on the “Solar Death Ray” guy’s website! That was just posted here (on our water-cooler-chat list) this Tuesday. Fantastic.
Poor SDR guy, he is so misunderstood! One might presume he is a tinfoil hat wearer, but from reading the site it becomes clear that his use of “Solar Death Ray” is ironic. It’s just that “Solar Really Hot Point” doesn’t sound as cool. :)
It’s 2D, but I still think you’ll like this:

“My own lecture went well enough. We had only ten minutes to speak, and so I had to keep my comments to a broad-level overview of the Erasmatron.”
