Over in the forums we have a lots of stuff going on.. Typically none of it intelligent, but it can be fun never the less. We have word association games, trash talking, funny pics, whatever. We even have a gentleman looking to beta test his RPG.

So please, stop by, create an account and join in.

So da shop is now on Twitter. My aim is to get whoever is at the counter to twitter about what games are going on. It’s a regular challenge to get these guys to use the computer to look up anything but Dark Sith Squirrel videos and Sifl & Olly episodes, but we’ll see what happens. Check us out:

Seeking Volunteers

Critical Effect is looking for a couple of motivated individuals interested helping us generate some content for the website. If you’ve ever dreamed of doing work for free, with absolutely no reward, or other compensation, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!! APPLY NOW!

Long time, no update..

Tyler Durden — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:26:20 +0000

So we’ve been lax in the updates, I know. We are going to be rolling out some pretty cool changes in the near future, and hopefully updating the website more often.

A big change right now is we are moving the website to another hosting company. We’re only doing this due to some server requirements our new plans have, our webnerd (me) needs stuff like a PHP version > 4.2… The current host has been gracious enough but we are moving onward!

This move will likely mean some downtime, but it shouldn’t be too bad, and no — i’m not resetting the forums, that would really suck, eh?

Anywho, cya in tha shoop!! ‘09 4tw!!
