Here is a short note that “Scott” sent me:
I read TechCrunch daily and you were listed in the 10 startups that demo’d at TechStars. I am not a huge gamer, but I enjoy playing card games, racing games and puzzle games. I prefer to play games that are mentally challenging and employ strategy rather than chance. I am always interested in trying new startups and giving feedback on the direction they’re headed. You have a very unique concept that could prove to make shopping entertaining - more fun than just shopping around for the lowest price. Why not use your skills to save you money to pay the bills! — Scott
Scott, I couldn’t have said it better myself. We’re working really hard for you, and will give you and the other 266 requests beta access soon. Soooon…. Just a little more patience please.
PS - I do believe your last sentence deserves a shout-out to the “OG” authors…

Nintendo’s Ad Campaign = Creativity + Web Technology + Biz Dev
Nintendo is amazing. Click on Wario’s image, (below), to see Nintendo’s new YouTube advertisement they’ve made for Wario Land. What a genius ad campaign. Watch the video through to the end. Trust me… Follow through to the Wario Land website to be uber-impressed.

We’re sorry for not giving you an update since our last post, but we’ve had to relocate our HQ from Boulder, CO to the San Francisco bay area.
Above, you’ll see the area where we’re going to setup shop and a few of the major game companies immediately neighboring us. The SF bay area has the most tech companies, private equity, and college campuses that exist in such a small proximity of each other. Your wacky idea is not wacky here, and everyone will have heard some version of it before and demand an explanation for why you think you are different.
We are actively seeking and partnering with game developers, local and non-local, and welcome your referral. Specifically, we want to meet smaller scale web game developers of every type and genre. Here are some examples of games made by the types of developers we’d like to meet:
Made by Digis, Digital Seed Entertainment
Made by Rasterwerks, Nick Kang
