I’m having a bash at the PMOG beta from home (would be far too distracting at work!), and like it a lot so far. It’s got loads of potential for creating fun journeys and sharing interests with people. Not sure about the social aspects yet, but I’m reserving judgment til the features have a bit more flesh.
LOVE the steampunky theme, and the art is awesome – particularly the badge designs. Reminds me a lot of Arcanum.
Here I am. If you’re not playing yet and would like to try it out, ping me and I’ll invite you (while supplies last).
You wouldn’t expect an electricity monitor to be particularly sexy, but Dave got me a Wattson for my birthday and it’s red hot (although when it actually glows red that’s bad, cos it means you’re using huge amounts of juice).
Wattson shows electricity use in real time, and has three modes: colour only (blue for low use, purple for moderate, red for high), display only (shows wattage or annual spend) and both. I normally keep it on wattage, and it’s really interesting to see the numbers shift when I turn stuff on and off – now I know what appliances in my house cost the most to run. Super-useful!
