Michael, you might be saying to yourself, you were doing so well! You’d posted pretty much all month long with some more-or-less interesting content … and then this weekend was radio silence. Plus, where’s MMOG Nation Broadcast number 5? You promised us something on GDC, which was a month ago at this point!

These are all excellent questions. I’d like to offer a few things to you on this Monday night:

• Assurances that MNB #5 is coming this week.
• A preview of upcoming blog posts -
  • Mauradon, Exploded (a WoW design experiment)
  • Why Microsoft Doesn’t Get Massive Games (an attempt to explain their actions)
  • The “Comfort” Game (why online games do more than just entertain)
  • Fabulous Faydark (recent EQ2 exploits)
  • Fists of Ham Instance Report #1 (WoW gaming journal)
• A preview of upcoming MNB episodes -
  • The 7-11 Gamer
  • Slouching Towards Innsmouth
  • Putting Yourself Out There
  • The ‘Mass’ Effect
• A promise that I’m going to have an important personal announcement by the end of the month. If you like my writing (and since you’re reading this I guess I can assume that) you’ll really like my news.
