For quite some time I've been meaning to create an MMORPG Review site where the "reviewers" aka "Reporters" are people who the reader can identify with. Generally speaking in a game review if someone says in a "this game sucks" you have no idea who the hell the guy is.. is he some 50 year old hippy or a 12 year old kid?
SopayMax.com currently has 2 Reporters me and Soapy it has an online backend system that we can login to and update very easily. We've got about 250 game reviews and around 200 pages listed in Google.

Yes I've been a busy boy and I am very excited about this one.. I've invented the First Virtual Shopping Mall (shopping centre) that works in a standard browser with no downloads -
not even flash. you can run this on a scabby old laptop so long as you can display 1024X768 and have an internet connection.
here's a link to the computer part Poppy Shopping Tech Centre
It's early days but the signs are encouraging we've currently got 132 stores in the mall and a further 600+ retailers who want to go in the mall.
Biggest Shopping Mall in Europe! Once phase 1 is complete (in a couple of weeks)
Poppy Shopping Mall will have around 370 retail outlets giving it more than any other shopping centre in Europe.

I've been playing around with this today, although the graphics are pretty simple and there are few character options I still think you would enjoy checking it out.
In places you get a virtual apartment where you can change the pictures on your walls with any from the net there is working stereo and even a working TV.
I met up with one of the multiverse guys in my "virtual" apartment yesterday, he showed me around and answered a few of my questions.
It's interesting because it demonstrates what can be achieved using the multiverse system and what is possible in other MMOPG games.
From your apartment you can travel to the "Times Square" demo place and obviously meet other people there, or you can travel to a friends apartment either by clicking on your door or your "friends wall"
12 of your friends are displayed on a wall in your apartment and you can visit their place by clicking on their picture.
