The Beta News

I’m about to start season 3 of Show Me Your Desktop, but as any good interviewer I spent quite some time researching. In my “research” I contacted Scott Beale from Laughing Squid. I wanted to interview him. This is what he replied.

The next season of Show Me Your Desktop is about to start. The schedule is almost filled up.

The Beta News 2 year anniversary contest is about to kick off. In order to make the contest even more exciting I’m hoping to offer my readers and future readers some extraordinary cool prizes. I’m therefore looking for some prize sponsors to make this contest as thrilling and interesting as possible.

As some of you might know I became a father for the first time about 3½ month ago. Now I’ve played Ultima Online, Everquest 1+2 and seen MySpace.com grow. What will my son see? Will he spend his pocket money on things in a virtual world? I think there’s a gold fever in the virtual [...]
