SpyMaster

If you are in the twittersphere and you haven't heard of SpyMaster, then you must be off-planet.

I joined MI6 as a noob and have gathered intelligence, pressured mob bosses, killed ambassadors, forged passports and stolen military secrets on my way to becoming a 14 spymaster. See, here's the proof:



I've come across one level 22 spymaster, and two level 21s. So I feel as if I'm making some good progress. It's a low stress game that I can even do on short, five minute breaks at work.

It's free and got me hooked the first day I played it. I have noticed that there are fewer people playing it -- either that or they've turned off their tweets. You see, the more you have your notifications send information about your game play (it can be done automatically via their notification system), the more "money" you make on tasks.

I like it. Am enjoying it. And am positively addicted to it. Off I go to see if I have enough energy to kill someone....

Star Date 2009.05.07 7:00pm Austin, TX

And I saw it. All of it (well, except for the 30 seconds I spend in the bathroom half way through it -- and let me say, there is no good place to take a bathroom break during this movie).

There were trekies there. And really creepie trekies there (you know the kind: older, over-weight trekies donning outfits that belong on people 40-80 lbs lighter than they are). But it was cool.

The movie was great. If you love Star Trek, you will like the movie. If you like Star Trek, you will like the movie. If you don't like Star Trek, then I don't know why I'm even talking to you. Just see the movie.

I saw it at The Alamo Draft House -- you know, the only movie house I know where you can get real food and alcohol in the theater. Ok, so we had a few pints (4) before the movie, what of it? Just because you can't go there doesn't mean you can't see this movie. I liked it and will most likely see it again before it's out of theaters. Will I buy the DVD? Hell yeah! And in BlueRay too.
