Crap, can you believe I missed the launch of  LOVE? And it was a full month ago?? This has probably been the most anticipated ever to cross paths with the reddit hive-mind, and I missed it.  Extreme hyperbole aside, I guess that's what happens when you lose touch with reality in asynchronous blahblahscript and php debauchery. And to think I was going to spend my 15 dollars of milk-money on a month of LOTRO.

If you aren't already aware of it, LOVE is the brainchild of Eskil Steenberg, a one-man indie-game-making madman. It features a lush, impressionistic style fully rendered in a 3d world and it has completely open-ended gameplay - literally a sandbox. Steenberg describe it as "a cooperative online first person adventure game." ...

You play as a scavanger on a small planet who together with other scvangers will build a settlement by placeing a Monolith some where in the world. This Monolith makes the ground lose so that you can shape the environment around it in to what ever you want. Build walls, catacoms, houses and shape your settlement any way you want.

To strengthen and evolve your settlement, you will need to head out in to the world to find tokens to bring back the settlement. Once placed in the settlement they give everyone in the settlement new tools to build new things and new abillities. With time you will gain tokens that will let you build powergrids to build defences and to manufacture power up pods.

OK, you know I will have to break my long-standing tradition of not updating this blog more than once every two-four months to bring you more news about my experiences in this game. Even if it isn't that great, I am positive it will be an interesting experience. Just look at what we are talking about:

OK, I need to go now and get my account set up and see how it goes.
