There's nothing to see here except for shadows of the past - and these ones won't be returning.

I'd point you to my next project here - but I'm not that organised. My style is to act and then sort out the consequences, rather than the other way around. Oh, and lying. I do that a lot too. (i.e. if you look closely, you may have seen some links appearing roughly once a week)

Vitenka.com is registered to me for the forseeable future, so you might find something there.

... in which wef question the makers of a promising new MMORPG ...

Noon - it comes after the dawn

Some URLs for your perusal - glitchful's page - something awful - glitchful - forum

Will noon have player driven content?
What support are you giving to player communities?

The players can do anything thay want, and we wont stop them (so long as they dont violate any real life laws). we will be providing customer support, and ingame GMs to respond to player problems.

Your game is freely admitting that it will have lag - do you plan on making this a feature of the game?

Yes, in fact we intend to add a quest in which the players must search for the hidden magic net code that will reduce their ping by 500ms

Are the rumours of 'lag equalising code' to give everyone five second delays true?

No, its 10 seconds

Do you have any pets?

No. I was so busy programming Noon that i forgot to feed them and they died. :(

Will Noon feature cats?

Maybe. no one has requested them... is this a request? we have dogs, someone requested puppies so there are puppies... would you like cats?

Given that you are building a virtual world to entertain people, and given that you have infinite and capricious powers within this world - would you like a slice of toast?

Yes, with blackberry jam please.

Is it true that your players failed their beta test?

Well this is really strange, they all seemed to have problems with the "What is your name?" question.

How do you intend to survive in an increasingly cut-throat market?

By not charging anyone anything.

Aren't you worried about the koreans?

Not unless they have sharks with laser guns attached to there heads.

Is your game suitable for playing whilst hungry?

No. we dont recomend it. players suffering from extream hunger have been known to devour thier keyboards, and then dropping dead from plastic poisoning. we would rather not face this law suit.

Will it feature 'leet PVP'?

Possibly... is that where you see who can spell leet in the most l337 way?

Will it ever fail, once you're involved, to roxor newbie ass?

No.

Is your game not "run by the nazi" because you "don't lose your XP" ?

Yes... I mean no.... I mean....

Is infringing 'the mouses' copyright an issue to you?

err.... would you like fries with that?

What system specs are you expecting? I notice that your website states that 'a computer' will be required - could you elaborate upon the advanced playing interface that obviates the need for 'a monitor' and 'electricity'?

Ahhh, see your wrong there. no monitor or electricity is required. you see the whole point of the game is to throw your computer at your target as hard as possible. throwing your monitor as well will result in massive skill penalties, useing electricity from a third party source is a breach of the ToS and will result in the immediate cancellation of your life...

What are your names?

I forget...

Is claiming to be creating a game, making money off of T-shirt and beta-cd sales, and then not actually making the game, fraud?

Yes it would be if that was what we are doing... but we arnt selling t-shirts or cds of any kind.

Will your game be more biased to 'n00b' players, or cater more directly to the 'ub3r'?

We expect n00b players to never live through the n00b phase what with all the ub3r players hanging around

What about ub4r?

That's a breach of our ToS

What are your favorite colours?

blue... no yelloooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh....

Does your game actually feature yodelling as a trade skill?

No, its a combat type skill. you yodel at your enemies to not only bug the hell out of them, but make them flee in panic.

After you have crushed the second generation MMORG's - what is your strategy for retaining player interest in the face the upcoming fourth generation -such as CnD, Little-Computer-People-4 and BrittneySpheres-vs-PowderPuffGirls?

Elf pr0n

According to your FAQ 'leet h4x0ring skillz' are needed - is this a deliberate player skill, or will it be solely governed by in game stats. Assuming it's an out of game skill, will you be offerring tutorials?

err....ummmm.....errr.....

A microsoft employee questioned me, asking when you were expecting to be bought out by them?

As soon as we come to an agreement on price... at this point we are having trouble getting them to go as high as 50 cents... really we would settle for a dollar...

I'm aware it sucks, but am also too lazy.
Note that now you've changed all the colours, it could be about anything!
BTW - this site looks fine in IE5 and netscape4. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find it, maybe you can use - Netscape 2.
