lately, i’ve been addicted to two things. online, streaming video of television shows, and the web-game Star Pirates. Its an excellent way to have fun in the background while working, for those moments when you are in a hurry up and wait mode. Its more fast paced than most online web-MMO’s where in things happen and advice in minutes rather than hours or days.

This by no means makes it perfect, but the designers and programmers have done there best to have the “forever beta” feel. An ongoing idea that the game is always willing to shift, change and improve. they are very freindly to both paying customers and free customers in a way that is similar to puzzle pirates. They allow an interchangable form of currency that doesn’t neccessarily favor the free or paying members.

The game needs alot of work but the game elements are almost entirely suggested by the players, making the gameplay it self (rather than the software) sort-of open source. i gotta say, so long as they stay freindly with the players and keep there paying customers happy, they are in for a long and healthy life.
