		<description><![CDATA[Well, about a week ago the creaters of Weewar had an interview on <a href="http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/61_quot_easy_to_learn_but_hard_to_master_quot.html">Galaxy-News.net</a>. In that interview they offered a <a href="http://blog.weewar.com/index.php/main/entry/win_5_pro_accounts_with_galaxy_newsnet/">raffle</a> for 5 free pro accounts. These accounts are normally gained by referring new players to the site, 10 players gets one month of Pro status. However, if you had Weewar and Galaxy News accounts, and sent an email to their giveaway, you were entered into this raffle. And guess what, your lovable neighborhood hacker Snarky won one! So now, of course, I'm getting tons of invites as everyone wants to play with Pro players. Oh, not because I'm good, but because we get to use new maps, and everyone in the games Pro players are in get new units! Death from above now is not only my favorite Space Marine battlecry, also the unit I most want to test!]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I popped into my favorite IRC channel in the middle of a coversation about some new browser game. I paid it no heed and went back to replaying the Brood Wars campaign in preperation for <a href="http://www.starcraft2.com/">SC2</a>. Then someone offered to toss me an invite and I decided to try it. I only got through 4 rounds before I had other things to do, but I'm hooked already. This is bad because those of you who know me and browser games... productivity goes waaaay down.</p>
<p>Anyways the game is <a href="http://weewar.com?referrer=Snarky">Weewar</a> (yes, that link gets me a point towards "pro" status for everyone that signs up via it and completes at least one game... if you don't like that feel free to remove everything after the '?'), which is an AJAX based RTS that's pretty addictive and yet very simple to learn. Basically its just land units and cities so far, though it does include terrain bonuses (that I just started using right now to great effect!). However, the maps really change the game as cities generate certain amounts of credits based on the map. </p>
<p>The best part, in my mind, is that this is a fun multi-player browser game that one can come back to. My first game went on hold when we all had to leave after 4 rounds. No matter, the game will be there waiting as we each come back. And you don't even have to check back on the HQ tab, you can set the game to email you when its your turn! I already have two games waiting on other players, simple enough to click "Review last turn", watch what happened, and make your moves.</p>
<p>Bottom line? I'm hooked... I go by Snarky (what a surprise) on the site, hit me up for a game some time! Want an invite, I'll bring you in for your first game (I still have yet to finish one *grin*)!</p>
