I had a strange sort of sex dream last night, in that it had no sex in it, but rather focused on navigating the emotional aftermath many days after I had a fling with someone. Basically, I was just having a conversation with the person at some neutral location. We were ironing things out. It was so convincing that when I woke up my first thought was "Ah, so I just dreamed about this conversation that I will inevitably need to have in real life soon." Awake, I felt bad that I was putting things off, and worried about what I'd actually do. As full-on waking context finally asserted itself, I experienced both relief and disappointment. The end.

(As I reread this I can name things in my life that I'm putting off and which may be causing trouble to others, though they have nothing to do with sex. (Or Volity.) It'd be vaguely hilarious if those were the anxieties that got recast into that context, by my subconscious.)

I was eatin Thai food tonight and thinkin, you know what would be awesome? Would be an Ice and Fire fighting game.

Seriously, think of it: all the fightin' characters from the novels tend to be very colorful, favor unique weapons and fighting styles, and if they don't really have catchphrases then you can darn well think of some approrpiate ones for each of them. It would rock.

Don't you want to see Ilyn Payne vs. Jaime? Brienne vs. Lord Beric? Eddard vs. Danerys? Nymeria vs. Shagwell? Of course you do.

The mini-boss would have to be an Other. I dunno who the big boss would be.

Unlockable characters would include off-handed Jaime (in the Dan role) and maybe Hodor (driven by Bran).

Get to work

Volity betapalooza from 7-11pm EST tonight (Wednesday). While we're continuing to encourage people to drop by the office if they can, we're respinning it as something fun for remote players, too: for this timespan you're guaranteed to find people in the devchat willing to play games with you.

What's new this week? Well, the games haven't changed much (yet), but Javolin has changed a lot based on previous user feedback and needs some testing. If you'd like to participate, please go grab the latest nightly build, log in, and join the devchat from the link in the Game Finder window. (If you don't already have a Volity account, Javolin will prompt you to make one. Easy, eh?)

You can log in and play any time, of course, but while we're in this quiet beta mode there unfortunately aren't a lot of folks to play against yet! Until we reach critical mass, we'll continue having these betapaloozas.

Now I'ma get a cuppa coffee before getting down to business.
