Big Fish Games Greeting

Game Talk No Comments »

Big Fish Games now has a downloadable program called Big Fish Greetings. Through Big Fish Greetings, you can make your own e-card with your photos.

The creations are really more than e-cards. You can even make games using your photos. I created one using the Mystery Case Files template.

You can share your creations with the world for free. There is ads in the game. You can buy your gretting for $1.99 and send it as many times as you want, even print it out.

I’m not much of a scrapbooker even though I’ve given it the old college try. Something like this would be neat to print out to put in my daughter’s scrapbook. It screams “look what a big geek your Mom was.” But since things haven’t changed that much in a lot of years, I’ll probably still be the same big geek when she is older that I am today.

PVP and Lost

Way Off Topic No Comments »

If you’ve never heard of PVP, it’s an online web comic that follows the tales of fictional characters who work for a video game magazine.

Yesterday’s strip was especially funny to me since it dealt with the TV series Lost. In the strip, Lost the RPG is introduced but is basically just random tables, so it’s not really structured, much like how the TV show feels after some episodes.

Last night’s LOST did answer some questions and raises some more. My husband thinks they are are setting up the show for their last season. I do love the show but want the writers to keep with their plan and not try to stretch it out just because it’s popular. Farscape was another favorite show of mine that was cancelled just before its last season. The creator had the whole series planned for a five year run. It got yanked after season four.

So hopefully we’ll get to see LOST play out, and they won’t keep on going with it just because of good ratings. Maybe the last season will be they get off the island and then each week we follow another castaway as they adjust back to their normal life after experiencing all the mystery and secrecy of the island.
