Rawr! Me can't Wait >_<

Anyway I failed the Quest lol.

LUG!'s Crazy Kart : Great game. It will release your childish acts lol. But the problem is that it has only few karts and avatars.

E-games' Top speed : Haven't seen this yet. E-games should probably advertise it

Mobius' GONG! : I love playing this game & very cuuuuute! and it even works well on my neo laptop which has only low specifications. But I always expirience lag and sometimes hang. I don't know if I was the only one who experience this.

Eagle Games' Highstreet 5 : I can only tell you one thing it is a AUDITION KILLER. Haven't seen a bug yet in this game but when the character is walking sometimes the character is sliding lol.

Mobius' DEKARON : If this game will had a great gameplay and community. When I see the screenshots and videos, I bet you guys that this game is a CABAL KILLER.

E-games' Zhu Xian Online : Perfect world impostor lol. But I think this will be more better that PW.

E-games - are releasing many games this year
Level up games - should make more items in CK
Eaglegames - HS5 is nice. But some people stick to audition
Mobius - When will you release Dekaron???! can't wait for that game. lol

Nakakaasar na ren minsan dahil hindi sila nagsasawa..

Para bagang si sbmjnhgtrffgthyhuy.. Hehe ^^
Masyadong demanding siya..Kakaasar.. ^^

Anyway,

Ang mobiusgames ay maganda..

Kung iintindihin mo lang yung mga pinagdadaan ng mga tao doon..

Parehas na side ikaw kakampi kung magkaroon man ng problema..

Mahirap maging GM masasabi ko yun..

Kasi sa dami ng naglalaro ng mga Games ng Mobius; Para kasing HINDI LAHAT demanding eh diba?

Kung ako ay isang GM nun..

Sasagutin ko yung mga players..

Kakaasar na kasi.. Kaso ang 'alam ko' restricted yun dahil ma-fifire sila..

Hehehe ^^ Kaya delikado rin diba?

Kailangan mo nalang i-accept o dedmahin yung mga taong yun..Grabe buhay ngayon..

Hehe..

Yun lang masasabi ko muna..

Paalam! :)

Before long I returned to some Argentium Sterling Silver wire we ordered. I remembered some filigreed work I'd seen and found myself twisting and curling pieces into place. They were fun, but family came first and I set it down in favor of a family picnic/gathering. A little later today I'll have some time to finish the pieces (I hope) and will get them up here.

I've also received some filled gold, and I'm hoping to make some mobius-looking earrings.

More later...

Kim

i post it here because it is the first online game that i played that has a system checking at the patch lol.

anyway i just give you a video when i play this game =) Gud luck guys

Back before I discovered the Forge, the other pitch I was preparing for a Skotos MUSH was Möbius: Life on the Strip, for which I developed the unfinished web promo thing I just linked. WARNING: Some parts of it are really pretentious, even for me.

The basic premise was to create a Flatland-inspired 2-D puzzle world shaped like a Möbius strip. Players would essentially act out the secret lives of Tetris pieces (it's a Tetris MMORG!), traveling back and forth along the strip and manipulating the inanimate shapes around them -- often through teamwork -- to unlock further mysteries. Each puzzle could be approached from two different sides, since going all the way around the loop would bring you to the same spot -- but you'd be oriented the opposite way (which actually matters, since players' pieces would not be symmetrical).

If you were this piece:

When you went all the way around, you'd look like this:

In any case, I never got around to actually planning out any of the puzzles, but somewhere inside of me there's still a hankering to make this work on the tabletop, perhaps with tangrams. We'll see.

I'm not going to try to answer the parenthetical question because the view of my navel is getting tiresome, so I think I'll look up.

Results of the looking-up experiment follow.

I went from looking here:

to looking here:

Then I went outside to sit in the sun with the dogs. A butterfly sighting isn't a rare thing in my back yard, but I've never had one land on me, even for a second, so what happened next was remarkable. I was sitting with my legs crossed and a smallish brown and white butterfly landed on my dangling foot and stayed there for at least 30 seconds. I swear it was licking its lips. I think butterflies don't really have lips; they have a long proboscis used for drinking nectar and it may be this that I was seeing. But it looked for all the world like it was licking its lips and eying me(and batting really long eyelashes). Maybe my foot smelled nice. The photo below is not one of mine, but came from this site.

Then, I turned inward again, like a pill bug, but I didn't roll up quite so much. What I saw was a veritable shawlstravaganza in my living room, a great woolly sequence of events I'm calling Comfort Me With Stitches. Some of the projects here are scarves, not shawls, but I figure that shawls, stoles, and scarves are at least in the same genus, if not species.

First, there's the Truly Tasha's Shawl designed by Nancy Bush. Thanks to my dear S. for inspiring me on this one. Hers is in a gorgeous blue. I'm knitting mine in Cascade Ecological Wool, Chocolate. When it's done it's going to have a pretty lacy edging.

Second, there's the Step Ribbed Stole by Margaret Klein Wilson (who, incidentally, sells her luscious yarn here ). My version is in Rowan Yorkshire Tweed DK, in green (I don't know the colorway name; it's probably something like Cud). This pattern came from the wonderful, wonderful, wonderful book The Knitter's Book of Yarn, by Clara Parkes. (My intelligent friend, T., bought the book for me for Christmas last year.)

Third, and also from Clara Parkes' book, is the apt Butterfly Mobius, which I'm knitting in Panda Silk, in color 3005, a yellowy green.

Fourth, there's the Garter Lace Triangle Shawl from Martha Waterman's book Traditional Knitted Lace Shawls. (This book is my most used, most loved, most most most....) The shawl's in Rowanspun 4 ply Tweed and the color is, no joke, Sludge.

Fifth, there's a shawl I'm making following the steps in Evelyn Clark's miraculous, clear, lovely, simple book Knitting Lace Triangles. This shawl is in J. Knits Lace-a-licious and the color is Portland. I periodically mistake this yarn for food and try to eat it, since it's so soft and nourishing. Plus, a single skein is 1200 yards. Smart, smart people made this yarn. I don't have a picture yet, because so far it's just a little embryonic triangle. You know embryos: lumpy, very small, and difficult to recognize as specific shapes.

Sixth, there's a little shawl called the Clementine Shawlette. It's designed by Michele Rose Orne and is from the spring 2007 issue of Interweave Knits. This is one of those patterns I didn't pay any attention to until I saw it in person, around knittingkninja's neck. Her lovely version is in Dream In Color's Smooshy, I think in Spring Tickle. No, Duncks, not tinkle. Tee hee.

Mine is in Schaeffer Anne, in the color Margo Jones:

Seventh, there's a Moebius cape I'm doing from Cat Bordhi's book A Treasury of Magical Knitting. For this one, I've combined three of her patterns--the Shifting Colors Moebius, the Rimrock Cape, and the Lost Trail Cape--to make what I want: The yarn is Rio de la Plata Fino Multicolor. The colors in this skein are Nugget Gold, Chinchilla, and Winter Wheat. The other yarn I'm using is Rio de la Plata Fino Solid in Seaweed.

Eighth, there's the Union Square Shawl/Poncho designed by Melanie Falick. The pattern is in her book Weekend Knitting. I'm making it in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes and the color is Amber Heather. I replaced the Baby Cable stitch pattern with the Broad Spiral Rib from Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. I don't have a picture here, either. So far, this one's just a bunch of cells.

Ninth, there's a center-started square I'm designing. Woot! I'm using Knit Picks Shadow in Oregon Coast Heather.

Tenth, there's a scarf from Lynne Barr's mind-bending and marvelous book Knitting New Scarves, called Twisted. It's in Rowan Yorkshire Tweed DK, color Lime Leaf. Yum.
Eleventh, there's another scarf from Lynne Barr's book called Aria. It's in Malabrigo Worsted, Magenta Sapphire. mmmmmMalabrigo.

Twelfth, there's a little scarf I designed in Margaret Stove's Artisan NZ Laceweight. I can't remember the name of the color. I'm calling the scarf Sea Foam:

Thirteenth, there's another little scarf, this one from CEY Make it Modern, called the Little Leaf Scarf. It's by Pam Allen and it's in Classic Elite Soft Linen, New Fern. This is another one with no picture; right now I just have an inch of ribbing.

Finally, there's a project not in the same genus, but definitely in the cozy family, a tea cozy I'm making for Gn. It's actually a hat pattern by the inimitable Adrian Bizilia (Hello Yarn): We Call Them Pirates. We call it cozy.

And when I'm not working on these projects, I'm reading The Fox in the Attic, by Richard Hughes, or watching Planet Earth or In Plain Sight on hulu.

So that's the view from here, butterflies and shawls, and butterfly shawls.

What are you knitting?

Prenez par exemple il y a 2 minutes, j'étais sur la bolle (oui oui, les gens cool ont ce genre de besoins aussi ;) ) et j'ai eu ce coup de génie.

Je sais comment Auguste Ferninand Möbius ( 1790-1868 ) a eu l'inspiration pour son célèbre anneau, une surface à deux dimensions n'ayant qu'un seul côté.

Auguste n'avait pas beaucoup d'argent. En effet, selon certaines sources, Auguste était un orateur moyen et par conséquent, donnait des cours gratuits pour attirer des étudiants. Dans ses pires jours, Auguste devait rationner tous ses biens. Y compris le papier de toilette. J'émets l'hypothèse qu'Auguste a fait sa découverte de la même façon que moi, tout à l'heure sur la bolle: si on prend le bout du rouleau avec une main, qu'on tire un peu et qu'ensuite on vient déchirer le papier au niveau du rouleau en twistant le poignet, on se retrouve avec un anneau de Möbius dans les mains. Essayez-le par vous-même.

L'avantage? Möbius l'avait vite découvert: on a deux fois plus de surface pour se torch...

Edit: Bon, un coup parti, je vais faire sortir le geek en moi. Poursuivons avec une autre découverte de Möbius: ses fameuses transformations. Dans ce petit vidéo, on y explique très clairement les tenants et aboutissants. Enjoy!

Mobuis

The presentation went great.  The photo at right shows the right half of the room, there was a large pillar in the middle that really limited how much I could move around while talking and still stay in sight for everyone.  I also had to use a mic, the room was too big and too crowded for even me to be able to talk loud enough in.  I'm sure I'll get used to it but it really made me feel disconnected from the audience and that connection is one of my favorite things about giving talks like this.  :)
