World of Meh has been around for awhile now. Some of you have been with us from our humble beginnings, and many of you have just recently joined us and are only familiar with the current version of the site. On December 27th, which marks the 2 year anniversary of the site, a huge change is coming and we are really excited.

Almost two years ago we put up our very first post. Since then, things have, as they have a way of doing, changed. And yet, as much as things change, many things remain the same. My “soon-to-be wife” is now simply my “wife.” Our poignant commentary on society, politics, and the human condition was incredibly…poignant, but has evolved into a steady stream of (still poignant) video game news, reviews, and more (with some movies, comics, books, music, etc. thrown in for good measure.)

I was looking through my gifted games on Steam, and found many that had not been redeemed.  So I figured I would offer them up to people who actually want them! Free games!!

Oh boy, we are feeling generous today! Thanks to the amazing folks at Mumbo Jumbo Games, a package arrived today filled with goodies. While I won’t divulge the entire contents right now, I will say this: A copy of Braid for PC was included. Read the full story

A long time ago Chris and I created some forums, and they were pretty awesome. Unfortunately they went dead, like the site did for awhile. About a month ago, I decided to bring them back since our readership was larger than ever before, and building a community is one of our goals. Problems occurred, and the old forums had to be scrapped. Read the full story

Late last night, I was a guest on the Dirty Dowdy Podcast. If you’ve never heard of it before, it’s local, and the host is my friend Chris, whom I’ve known for over 10 years. I was on to talk about World of Meh!, our One Love for Chi Blogathon fundraiser, and to tell people how they can get involved and donate.

A few days ago, we implemented a major change to World of Meh.  We had originally enforced registration for commenting because of the deluge of spam we knew we would receive if we took no proactive action.  Being lazy people, we decided to enforce registration so that we wouldn’t have to combat spam.  Unfortunately, we failed to take into consideration the laziness of the Internet at large, and our comment numbers suffered for it (no offense, you lazy bastards).  We did keep an approval system in place, so that these spam comments wouldn’t overflow onto the articles.  Hopefully the approval lag isn’t a bother for any of you.

Yesterday, Chris and I went on to Central Valley Buzz to promote our site and help spread the word about our Blogathon fundraiser for One Love for Chi. Since we haven’t been on anything live in awhile, I was a little anxious, but I think we did a great job.

For those of you who were unable to tune in, the repeat already aired early this morning, but I can give you a rundown of what went on. When we got there, the room was rather warm due to all of the lighting, and the fact that there was a guy prepping for a cooking segment. It also didn’t help that he was making a salsa with Habanero peppers, so while we were waiting to go on, my eyes started to sting a little.

Once we were on air, I got a little tripped up at first, but Chris was there to explain the history of World of Meh!, and what inspired us to start it. We, honestly, started this site just as a creative outlet, so clearly things have evolved! After we described what our site is all about, we were kept on for a second segment that touched on how the two of us met (through an online dating site, if you must know), and then we shared with everybody the amazing story of Chi, his progress, and our efforts to help him.

Chuck Leonard, host of the show, autographed, on air, a pair of clippers that were used on a recent show to shave his head. He then donated them with the hope that it will help attract more people to our site, and boost donations. Pretty awesome, eh? After we we were done, I logged in to check our site states and there was a considerable spike in hits, so thank you Chuck!

If you are a fan of Central Valley Buzz, or are an evil scientist that wants a piece of his DNA to do some crazy cloning experiment, donate to our One Love for Chi fundraiser and earn a shot at winning those clippers, amongst other prizes!

We love comments. We want you to comment. We wish you guys and gals would comment. So, what have we done to help encourage that? Removed the function where you have to register and be logged in to do so.

Originally, we set that into place because we were getting loads of spam comments, and it made our site cluttered and really shitty looking. Problem with that, is if you are like the two of us, you won’t bother registering for a site in order to leave a comment. You’ll just say “fuck it”. I do it all the time, believe me.

Anyways, our writers really put a lot into their articles, along with the ones Chris and I put up, and we want to know your opinions. This change is to help encourage that ‘community’ feel, so the free commenting system will be in effect for awhile. Should we start to get bombarded with spam, like in the past, we will look into something a little different, so for now…comment your asses off!

As part of our ongoing campaign to promote our One Love for Chi fundraiser and Blogathon, Chris and I will be on local internet/radio show, Central Valley Buzz tomorrow.

We will be discussing World of Meh!, One Love for Chi, Blogathon, and even our fantastic prizes. On their site, they have a chat box so you can even talk to us and possibly get a mention on air! To watch us make complete fools of ourselves online, tune in for when we come on around 5 pm PST, and we might be doing some giveaways.

Catch us live, tomorrow, here.
