Sup, lead game designer here.
So, a few of you might care, most of you probably don't, but I can finally start talking about the game I have been working on for the last year. It's called Fantasy University, or F.U., a pop culture and internet humor MMO for Facebook. I am one of two co-leads in terms of content design and writing. Farmville this is not, though we do make fun of it liberally. It's a classic turn-based RPG, 90's style, with a focus on humor and over-the-top characters. It's a full blown RPG, and includes crafting, questing, character customization, guilds, and eventually raids. Wired.com interviewed us and said it had "the best writing they've ever seen in a game." Here's a preview from Ten Ton Hammer-

Anyway, I think some of you who have that balance of sick and jaded humor and good-natured nostalgia (Kipp, I'm looking at you, buddy) will really enjoy it. It's free to play with a microtransaction model, and it comes out near the end of Summer. Tomorrow we are going into a friends and family Alpha, so if anyone is interested in full unlimited access to the game, let me know! I can only spare one key for now, but within the next 2-4 weeks I should be able to invite anyone who's interested.
I love you all,
