I didn’t have big goals for tonight. Grind to 50 with the jobs I intend to take on the trip to the World of Darkness. And then… maybe jump into Final Fantasy XIV Online, and try the MMO version of FF3’s final boss.
So that’s what I did.

Okay — the FULL LIST of Interesting Games!
I’m not going to blast this post anywhere, but if someone was interested in what a full run of the Google Trendifier looks like with about 160 games on the list. I’m still counting it toward my Blaugust quota, though.
The Most Interesting MMO in the USA, Part Deux.
I’ve just spent the entire night with my hands deep in the guts of the Google Trends API and the Python package that calls it. I’ve even sprinkled in Google Suggested Searches to sweeten the search. I’ve implemented a quick sort algorithm. My boyfriend was helping debug the program. But no matter what I do, the answer always comes out the same.
The Most Interesting Game of All Time!
I was playing around with Google Trends last week, trying to see how a few MMOs compared to each on the ‘Trends. It was fun and all, but I missed a lot of games and I just thought it would be so much better if I could just compare EVERY MMO, past and present, automatically!
Google Trends just catalogs the searches people would do for a game, but I figured that had to have at least a loose correlation to popularity, right?
Well, it was an… interesting journey, to be sure.
Palia: You’re In Our World Now.
That… isn’t actually their tagline (old folks know that it was EverQuest’s), but it seems like what this social MMO is going for. An idyllic world where you can relax with friends. The trailer shows players building their own homes and communities, but is that all there is?
