Full Glass, Empty Clip
Three years on and Mefight Club, the not-very-secret-at-all offshoot community of Metafilter that likes to play games together, has decided that a public face a little more engaging than a login form might be a thing that we'd like to have. Also, you know, we're Mefites, so we're inordinately fond of typing words into boxes and hitting Post buttons. So I made this: Full Glass Empty Clip, a brand new Gaming Group Blog, written by any and all of our 850-or-so Mefight Club members who feel an urge to write something about or at least related to gaming.

It is new; it is redolent of win and also hooray. Come and join us. Click, win, repeat!

This project was posted to MetaFilter by killdevil on June 24, 2010: A Guide To Some Early FPS Games, Mods, and Source Ports

And it is also the prettiest thing this side of Letizia, princess of the Azurias!

Woo! This is very cool, stav.

And surely this will be the thing that gets me back to playing TF2...

And verily, cortex did play TF2 six days later;
And those were the days of cortex, the soldier.

I played demo and scout a little bit too.

Not only is that very cool, that is a rockin' WordPress design. Is that a theme from a source the rest of us can get our hands on?

Not really, no. It's cobbled together bits from a bunch of different places, most of which I've already forgotten, with a bunch of wonderchicken improvisation and favorite WP tricks on top. Thanks, though!

Just in case anyone's still got this in their recently-commented and is not a Mefight Club member, the new Review-o-matic is live, and hugecranium's running a Free Game Giveaway Contest on the main site. Stop by!

Still open, so some pimping: Week One and Week Two Winners of YAY FREE STUFF have been announced, and hugecranium'll be posting up the challenge for Week Three soon. Come get free stuff!

Also, the News-o-matic is now live too, if not quite finished.

Hey, I didn't know Projects posts stayed open forever!

In that case, I'm just going to mention here that I've redesigned FGEC from the ground up, and I think it's looking pretty nice. Not much getting posted there, lately, but I'm hoping the revamp will rally the MefightClub troops to make some posts.

Also, I've shuttered the News-o-matic and Review-o-matic for now, at least. Must focus.
