   Well, while Offworld is offline (snicker) why don’t we share URLs to other websites that are like Offworld? Maybe I can find one that is a little better. The posts at Offworld seem to *BURST* out like 40 in an hour and then leave you for a week. Which I totally understand, but if there’s something better, I’d like to check it out. Sometimes Offworld bloggers assume I know all about certain mainstream games. I do not.

   Well, it might have been wise to leave someone to look after the shop while he’s gone…

   And then it was dead.

   Offworld: the best little nothing on the intertubes.
   Hope everything is okay. Miss y’all.

   Alas, the lack of Offworld links built into the strange new BoingBoing probably pointed this way.

   Offworld started off with a bang, even things that are game related over on gadgets doesn’t get moved over.

   We love you and we want to you to live.

   If you need content drop me a line.

   See, I want this on a shirt, though I think it should have the mouth too.

   Be Alive Offworld!!! Be alive!!! Why isn’t BoingBoing Linking to you anymore?

   61fps (now expired) has some great video game writing. Worth a look through the archives, too bad it’s gone now though.

    Look two Evas. Where is Wall-E?

    I don’t think that it’s that Offworld is dying, it’s just that Brad is at Indiecade. Right?

    I’ve never considered buying a videogame shirt before, but I am pretty tempted to buy that Donkey Kong one

    So, is Offworld, like, dead now? It’s barely being updated.

    That would be unfortunate if it were the case — Offworld has some great coverage of the indy gaming scene.

    If you guys need contributors, put out a call. Some of us gamer and writerly-types could probably help out.

    It looks like Offworld has been “merged” with boingboing:

    I don’t see any way to filter out offworld-like content. Is offworld as we know it as good as dead, then? Will I have to wade through political rants, steampunk crafts, and ukulele videos just to read some good ol’ Brandon Boyer?
