we're finally notdotq anymore

The last time I talked about notdotq’s transformation was on October 9th, when I’d just put up a new front page for the site. It was a new face for my anime blogging business, and while at first it was just a quick joke, it is now a very permanent joke: it is here to stay.

Back in April, with a little help from Dr. Japes, I discovered Forumwarz. I completed Episode 1—the first part of the story—within a month or so, and then I began tapping my fingers. The tapping has ended. Episode 2 is here. I have not bought it yet—that is outside the scope of my current powers—but I intend to, and I have gone through the interlude cinematics.

And the Phoenix Wright knock-off minigame.

Didn’t something like this happen in the aniblogosphere recently?

internet games are scary—they hit so close to the mark sometimes

If you like things nice and Rule14′d, or if you like hacking and internet drama, or if you like cybering with old men who get turned on by phonographs, or if you like Phoenix Wright, then I suggest that thou getst thee to a Paypallery.

Seriously, it’s great fun.

And finally, to the shits who are thinking, “what? MONEY?! Where’s the free demo?”, you can still play Forumwarz Episode 1 for free. The Crotch Zombie fellows are good people, and their business model is more than fair.

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the famous Fox11 clip about “Anonymous” in which some retard in need of firing refers to anons as “hackers on steroids, treating the internet like a real life video game.” That’s funny on a few levels in and of itself, but now there’s this—Forumwarz. The internet… treating the internet… like a video game… about the internet. It can even be Escherian: ‘the internet treating the internet like a game about the internet treating the internet like a…” you get the picture.

Anyway, you play as a depraved forumgoer whose life goal is to discover something more surprising and disgusting than goatsextubgirlx2girls1cup and then show it to as many people as possible. My account if “Flaxative” if you want to friend me and I’ve made an attempt to join the Encyclopaedia Dramatica “klan.”

I’m sure you’re all familiar with this little demon here:

Gloomy, AKA Owen. The man, the blogger, the hegemony.

Don’t say no. You know you are. Even if you have no idea who I am, you know who Owen is. He’s infamous. He’s bigger in the aniblogosphere than I am, despite being more than a year my junior. But this post isn’t about relative status or popularity… this post is about justice. This post is about a veritable terror. This post is about all the little things Owen doesn’t want you to know. » Continue reading this…
