Spring seems forever away.

Not too much to see on our Grimm landing page, yet. But the artwork is still beautiful. And more is coming!

I was in a meeting a couple of weeks ago and asked to hear just the basics of the game. The guy who answered then proceeded to completely spoil the whole thing. It sounds completely fantastic, but I’m really hoping for some memory loss by the time Spring rolls in.

NO P.

Wonderfully clever feed-the-hungry donation mechanism.  Problem at the office is that we keep having to remind ourselves that it’s not just about maintaining a high vocab level score.

Change. Suspend. Resume.

From the Suggestion Box

Earlier this year, we added “Gotta Getta Game” (also known by some as the Magnificent and All Powerful Wheel of Destiny) to the Search ring in the Deluxe Player. It’s fun - whole blogs and forum threads have sprung up about the wheel. Well, a lot of you wanted to spin any ring, any time. And so, we introduce the Wheel’s little cousin, Alt-W.
GameTap Alt-W
That’s right, take a random spin around any ring in the vault. Invoke the magic. Find your destiny.
