The International House of Mojo

I have just noticed this and i'm sure you've already seen it but Mixnmojo has a WAP site, this means that you can recieve mixnmojo on your WAP enabled phone.

The address for the WAP site is http://wap.mixnmojo.com. Now I haven't got a clue how WAP phones work and I think that you need to input the address which is above and there is also a link just above the search bar.

Mercatfat, our resident tortured genius, has sent me a picture of his Sam and Max Rom hack.. It's absolutely brilliant! I put it up as the featured Pic, so check it out! I wish we could have his talent with us at our E3 coverage.

The Uber lord of the Mojo server sent this to me just now...

Dear Customer, As you may be aware our network move scheduled for the 7th did not take place, due to some last minute changes. Therefore to ensure a smooth transition we have re-scheduled the move for early Thursday morning (1am - 4am) GMT. Thanks,

Soo.. erm.. hmm odd. Ok then, again you have been warned! That is all.

On monday at 5pm GMT, the server will be going down for 3 hours while it is moved to a new NOC. You have been warned!! That is all.

It's DJG's birthday today! And he rules so much that, um, I guess we can spare him the embarassing egg-throwing. Anyway, to reiterate, DJG rules. Happy Birthday! May you have many more and all that. Now, on to E3 coverage (and Mojo 8, heh heh ;).

Although this isnt LEC Related, i thought those of you who enjoy solving puzzles and love a challenge might want to know about it.

There is a film in production, A.I. This film is being made by Steven Spielberg, but was origionally intended to be directed by Stanley Kubrick. The makers of the film have created a massive online murder mystery, the first clue of which was a name at the end of an internet only trailer.

This name led to hundreds of well made web sites, all with details of working and home life of a family.. except 200 years into the future.

I can't post nearly enough detail about this in one post, so for those interested i suggest you visit The Guide and scroll down to "introduction". Its bizzarely interesting! However, the guide is simply that, a walkthrough to the game. Follow the first links yourself if you want to start playing!

Today we welcome aboard a new site to the mojo community; The Monkey Island Sword Fighting Club. This site is based around an IRC channel #miswordclub on DAL net. The idea is that you challenge the ops to an MI style swordfight online, and if you beat them, you become a member (I think thats right anyways!). You can vist the site to get more information. Welcome to the Mojo Community folks!

Neil "Trapezoid" Cicierega, author of numerous Monkey Island fan songs, and more recently the deliciously insane animutations has been interviewed by online magazine Salon.com. The interview covers some of Trapezoids history with animutations and tackles some larger social issues, for instance:

What did you eat for breakfast this morning?
I skipped breakfast this morning. If I did have breakfast it would've been some Lucky Charms.

Thre is a site on the net.. it lists web designs people think are nice looking.. It's called Wowwebdesigns and we were added to the database today. So! You should go check us out and vote for us :) Go here to take a peek!

And our server died.... There was apparently some strange goings on with the server, and i'll let you know the exact problem as soon as possible.

Apologies for the down time, i dont know if the server will remain up now, or if it still needs repairs.. we shall see

Hi, I've actually been sent some interesting news tidbits and an image or 2 to feature, but a fool emailed me 81mb, so i cant actual retrieve these mails very well right now. Soon come!

this public service anouncement was brought to you on behalf of ..me, .. oh and you, you ungrateful sods!

Another Mojo Network site launches. This time, PureVideoGames. Powered by our Mojo7 backend system (developed by DJG) and Run by Jamesh, our hard working console editor, PVG will be bringing you news features and reviews for all things Console.
Anyone interested in Video gaming? Head on over here

Just letting you know that Trapezoid's infamous Animutations site, featuring Hyakugojyuuichi!!, Lesko's Revenge and other " crappy Flash Animations" has found a new home here at The Mojo after being booted from NBCi for reasons unknown. If you haven't seen this stuff you're seriously missing out!*

*For those who demand, oh, remotely on-topic posts instead of this jibberish I suggest you watch Attack of Simon.

Spaff, our beloved CEO, was found mumbling and dribbling at his keyboard. The Genius behind mixnmojo was in Newbury this weekend for a Lan party, and was believed to have "played counter strike far too much" and his condition was believed to have started about the time his team were knocked out of the semi final by 4kings.

Spaff will have to spend the rest of his days locked away in a mental patients ward of his local hospital, away from the public, and away from the internet.

Gooseman, creator of Counter Strike, was reported to have said "Who? brain dead? thats not my fault, now sod off, im rich, i dont need you... Cliffe get back in your cell!"

We are now in turmoil and without a leader. If you want to be the CEO of mixnmojo please apply in the comments. Salary is $500,000 a year and as many biscuits as you can eat. Applicants must be bad at typing and good at using words Americans dont understand. Thanks.

The International House of Mojo is proud to announce that we will now be focusing on LEC Xbox coverage after we were acquired by Microsoft Corporation earlier this week.

"While we realize that LucasArts has not currently announced XBox products both Mixnmojo... and my wallet agree that this is where the future lies for console - and PC - gaming," said Mixnmojo founder and CEO James Spafford.

"I'm a Mac guy myself, but this is really cool," stated Mixnmojo administrator Jake Rodkin. "With the XBox around, who needs the G4? I know I don't."

"I love Microsoft. I always have," stated Mixnmojo's DJG. "I know in the past I've been an advocate of Linux, but with the donation of Mixnmojo's brand new Windows 2000 server, how bad can Microsoft be?"

It was recently discovered that if you put in Pink Floyd's hit album, "Dark Side of the Moon." at approximately the same time Manny hits the water in Rubacava after falling off the balcony at the end of Year 1 starts in Grim Fandango, the music and dialogue matches that of the game. Project leader Tim Schafer, when asked about the matter, refused to comment.

During a routine nerf gun fight yesterday afternoon, a LucasArts employee was sent to the Emergency Room after losing an eye. "It was all fun and games until this happened...." one witness said. "We had all the warning in the world..." another spokesperson stated, "all of our mothers told us this would happen." A memo was intercepted by our sources stating that all foam has been banned from LucasArts offices as well as the making of funny faces to ensure they won't stay like that."

After days of negotiating, the Computer Animated Actors Guild was unable to gain an acceptable contract. As a result they will be striking as of April 3rd, 2001, delaying and possibly causing the cancelation of many upcoming films such as Star Wars: Episode II. "We just can't seem to get through to them. Our contracts were poodoo. This was a last resort," stated Union spokesman Jar Jar Binks. "Meesa was looking forward to working with George [Lucas] on Episode II but not with what he was paying me. [insert high pitched squeal]" No comment was available from the directors.

In response to the recent 3DO lawsuit against LucasArts Entertainment Company, Narrative has raised his finger as well as his voice, pointing and laughing at the game giant. "You can cut the irony with a knife," stated Narrative when asked to comment.

"UPDATE" It was confirmed that Narrative did not in fact point. Sorry for the confusion.

With the profits of adventure games dangerously low, many prominent adventure game creators have gone under. LucasArts, as it stands now, is the only professional remaining adventure game developer in the United States. "To deal with this crisis we're going to have to lay off workers, outsource production, make minivans... er star wars games." said LucasArts president Jeffery. "It's the only way to keep up profits so we can make adventure games our fans love." A collection is being taken up for LucasArts. Please send donation requests to webmonkeys@mixnmojo.com.
