So, here it is, a few years later, and we’re still seeing articles on the NGE. And honestly, I’m getting a little tired of it. In this case, I actually declined to comment for the article, but there’s nonetheless a giant inset quote from me dug up from ages ago (which irritates me, honestly). I had declined because I just didn’t want to perpetuate the discussion.
Look ma, I’m on TV. The CNN Future Summit on virtual worlds is supposed to be airing on CNN International a whole bunch of times, featuring a whole bunch of us from the virtual worlds community. The bulk of the show is a panel session at Stanford, as I understand it. I taped my segment in New York, in front of bluescreen and talking into a camera.
Show times (All times GMT)

GMT means, I think, that it’s on tomorrow in some parts of the world. I don’t actually see it listed in my cable box’s schedule, however — World News Asia is on in that time slot.

It’s a very light mailbag this week. 🙂 Remember, anyone who wants to drop me a line and maybe get an answer here can send me an email here — be sure to click the checkbox so it goes to me instead of Webmaster. She’ll forward it, but why spam her mailbox…
Howdy Raph, Let me introduce my self, basically an MMO hobbyist going on 20 years+. I currently run a small software shop(procurement related) but decided to start writing some thoughts down. Will publish more over the next couple of weeks as time permits. Would love to hear your opinions on it. archimedian.wordpress.com
The MMO Gamer has tough questions for Entropia, but mostly doesn’t get answers. A prime topic of discussion is their recently announced deal to expand into China. Among the tidbits:
