I have some pretty cool stuff for you today. First up, we've got 200 or so Tabula Rasa beta keys to give away. Our Premium Members got their fill and now anyone can have a shot at it. Get your name in early. These won't last long.

Cameron, our main man at PAX this year also got to chat with two of my favourite community managers in the industry. First he talked with Valerie Massey about ambulation in EVE Online. You read that right. I used a four-syllable word folks. Next, April Burba of Tabula Rasa took Cameron on a journey through the game that Garriott built.

As luck would have it, I sat in on the presentations for EVE Online and Tabula Rasa at Leipzig. I was incredibly fortunate to sit down with Arend Stührmann (EVE Online Interview) as well as Starr Long and Paul Sage (Tabula Rasa Video and Interview). One would assume that the teams going to the different events would have the same basic information to share, but that wasn't the case at all.

One last plug before I wrap it up this morning. If you haven't taken a minute to investigate Fury then do yourself a favour. Shooter/RPG fans should really take a look at this game. It won't be for everyone, but those that like it simply love it.

Even more silliness after the jump.
