The best MMO ever is closing. I'm crushed. I had such high hopes for it and the company. They are amazing.

What MMO is that?

The only one I can find is City of Heroes, by Paragon Studios.

Glitch, by Tiny Speck.

Sorry to hear you're losing a great game

I've never heard of it. What's it like?

[the_antisocial_hermit]

It has a great community and social interaction in it is amazing. People work together a lot but there's lots of room for playing solo. It's browser-based and non-combat. The artwork is beautiful and whimsical, as is the story that had been developed. The interactions with the world are quirky and strange. The music was fantastic.

It was started by the founders of Flick'r (which originally was started as an intention for a game but warped into a photo sharing site). Keita Takahashi has been working on it the past year or so. The team was great at listening to the players and being available to the players. I've never seen a team so committed to the players and the game itself.

It reminds me of a mix of Little Big Planet (visual style), Kingdom of Loathing (some of the humor), Monty Python (some of the humor) and... there have been other things, but I can't remember them right now.

Some people have said it reminds them of Animal Crossing, but I've never played that. Someone else said this: "The best I've come up with is "Take Farmville and exploded it. Then mate it with EVE Online. Then get Salvador Dali to play Little Big Planet for a few hours and have him design it."
Still not quite right."

Basically, Glitch is Glitch and impossible to really describe, especially since the community and development team was a huge part of its amazingness. This is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... uDYhczbqEQ

ETA: Glitch inspired me to follow some dreams that felt like they were too impossible. They would've been a company I'd have liked to work for, someday.

I've just been... sniffed by a random dude while waiting to cross the road. Ugh. People can be weeeeeird.

[Doug R.]

My wife was sniffed by a drunk guy at her company Christmas party.

[NancyLee]

Maybe sniffing random people is becoming a fashion? I hope no!

Just had a look at their announcement. I'm sorry I'll never get to try it out.

Oef, when I sniff someone, I sniff them good, not that weakly!

[NancyLee]

*she hums sleepily* If you're going to San Francisco be sure to wear some pepper in your hair... Sniff this!

[Henkie]

Think it through.. Someone sniffs you then, makes you feel awkward...
Then sneezes all over you
