I wanted to add the last videos that I produced for MMOHub.org. Free MMO Game reviews. It was fun to do, and depending on how well they do we may be expanding it to a whole MMO Game lifestyle show. That would be great.

I’m sitting here after dinner and @askfrasco is setting next to me on the couch. I asked her if she played flash games online. “Not really” she said. So I told her about one fun game, Grow. Have a look for yourself. Once you play it 2 or 3 times you will get it, and [...]

Do you enjoy watching animals doing funny things? I love feeling my intelligence just sipping out of my head watching them personally. It’s better than any downer you can buy on the street. So if you wasnt to spend a few minutes feeling dumb, watch the cat fight and the dog make love to a [...]

I have my first Dailybuzz with Mobuzz show online now. I’m still trying to find a nice style for the show, but Anil said to really be myself and not try to be Olivia, so I did that. I’m not sure what the Mobuzz fans will think, but at least there will be little to [...]
