Currently, World of Meh! is handled by both myself and Chris. With Chris working full-time, 6 days a week, and me only being able to think up of so much to write about, we are looking for a few bright, snarky, and geeky individuals to join us.

I should probably state that it’s a voluntary position meaning there is no financial compensation involved. World of Meh! is a labor of love, and to date, we haven’t made a cent off of it, although we wouldn’t complain if we started to earn some form of revenue from it. Before I go off on a tangent, let me lay out the details:

• There is no daily/weekly posting quota. Post whenever you can, although more is always better because it helps boost traffic.
• We ask that you do your best regarding English and grammar. We reserve the right to edit any posts if you’ve accidentally missed anything.
• Please keep in theme with the site. If you go through past posts, you will see that we don’t mind swearing, nudity (as long as you flag it), off the wall topics… but we won’t allow racism, Sarah Palin, posts/mentions about animal or child abuse, sex crimes, or anything else that will make men in suits want to bash down our door.
• You will be given your own special worldofmeh.com email address
• We will add you to our upcoming ‘Contact Us’ page with links to your Twitter, Xbox Live Account, and other shit like that.

Since we currently don’t own a PlayStation 3 console, we would love to have a writer for that. We would love to have a few more writers with Xbox Live accounts so we can host a Community Playdate. Also, with E3 beating down our door, we will need the extra hands to help cover that. We can’t do it all on our own. It’s just too much. With that being said, we’re going to need help for the upcoming Blogathon. Our current plan is to divide the day into shifts, because when Chris and I did it by ourselves last year, we wanted to die. No joke.

So, if interested, please email me (lindsey@worldofmeh.com) a writing sample or link to your blog/site if you are currently writing somewhere else, an estimate on how many posts you think you could contribute in a week, a brief summary about yourself describing interests and any relevant experience you may have, and your AIM screen name, if you have one.

Chris and I will review all submissions as soon as they come in, and we want to have this all sorted out by next Monday. Although I should probably say that if any submissions are turned in after Monday, we will still seriously consider them, because we know that if the tables were turned, we would want somebody to do that for us.

Good luck, and thank you all in advance for wanting to be a part of this!

One thing we’ve noticed about Moogle is how curious she is. She wonders what is inside a cabinet, wonders what is so awesome about the fridge, and other things. She has also taken a great interest in our laptop and PC. She watches how the mouse cursor flits about the screen, and will stare at our fingers as they click on the keyboard.

When Chris is at work, him and I talk throughout the day on AIM. Sometimes I step away from the keyboard because I am getting food, going to the restroom, getting the mail, or taking Donnie outside to do his business. Before Moogle, Chris would sit there with silence on my end. Now that we have Moogs, something new has been happening.

Before I go and do whatever I need to do, I tell Chris that I will “be right back” or “brb.” Chris will then see on AIM that it says I am typing, however I will not be anywhere near the keyboard. Some seconds later, a message will be sent to him that typically looks like this: a111111111111111111111111111111stjp.

Little Moogs takes it upon herself to walk across the keyboard and send her Daddy a message. She almost always hits the ENTER key as well, sending the message to Chris and him getting a laugh out of it.

Yesterday her keyboard escapades went a step further. A few hours after completing the blog about our forums, I went back to check and see what our viewer stats were. I was surprised to find the screen back on the blog edit page, and the title of the blog changed to “pppppppppppppppppppppp.” Our cat is so talented that she managed to get into the edit post mode, change the title of the blog, and she even SAVED it. Of course I changed it back, so I apologize to any visitors of our blog who saw the “Moogs Edition” of my forum post.

So from here on out, if you see anything silly going on our blog with words or sentences, you can pretty much guess who did it:

Lady Moogs, Slayer of Keyboards and Internetz.

If any of you are regulars to our blog, you will know that a few months back we created some forums.

Unfortunately we are lazy bastards, and really didn’t do much with them. Sure there were a few posts done, a few people signed up… but it could’ve been so much more.

Since I’ve grown frustrated with many of the current gaming forums and sites out there, I figured that we should improve on what we have instead of going out there and bothering with other sites that don’t give two fucks what we think or feel.

After getting frustrated with CSS, I am proud to announce that our forums have a new, beautiful look to them and will be constantly updated as the days go by.

If you want to be a part of our growing community, and want to share something special with us, please sign up on our forums and help us get the ball rolling!

Hope to see you there!

(P.S… tell a friend, it’s always appreciated!)

Well tonight Chris and I had our first MehCast and it was fantastic. We started off a bit slow due to a lag at first and some people experiencing technical difficulties but once things started rockin’ everybody had a fun time. Having a chat room along with the live video is really helpful because it allows us to interact with our viewers and get some much appreciated feedback. Some of my fellow Tweeples came and showed their support. While they weren’t all able to stay for the full thing, something was definitely better than nothing and we enjoyed them.

After Chris and I introduced ourselves, we paid our respects to the Travolta family. Today their 16 year old son Jett was found on the bathroom floor at their vacation home in the Bahamas and passed away on the way to the hospital. Obviously John isn’t going to see our MehCast but it is still something that we felt necessary. Once that was finished our Q&A portion got started. Some of the guys submitted really great questions that allowed us to really get personal and got the chat room going. Then we started just going on about stuff. I discussed the Imperial March ringtone of doom and Chris went a bit more into detail about our recycling adventures.

Some of the fun things we touched on were movies and music. Surprisingly one of the guys hasn’t seen The Dark Knight yet. It came as a shock to all of us since that movie was so amazing. Video games were also discussed, especially the Star Wars ones. It was nice being able to talk with people who shared similar interests. It made it a lot easier rather than trying to force conversation with a bunch of strangers. At times it felt as if they were in the room with us and we didn’t have a camera on a tripod glaring at us which made our part of the MehCast a breeze. We are really looking forward to doing next weeks episode and I personally can’t wait. I think I might go and do some spur of the moment chats or record some videos for YouTube in the mean time.

As of right now we are planning on airing our episodes once a week on Fridays. They will always be at 7 PM PST but their length will probably vary. If we would have had more people in the room tonight we could have easily gone longer than we did but 86 minutes sure isn’t bad for the first time. The great thing about UStream is that we can also have it record at the same time so our viewers who might be unable to make it due to work or other plans can still watch whenever they can.

Before I wrap this blog up, I would like to say thanks to a couple of guys. One is our Canadian friend @slabbe from Twitter. He has really helped Chris and I a lot over these past couple of days with World of Meh and we greatly appreciate it. It was through him that I found out about UStream and he also was so kind to design our logo. On Twitter he even twitted about the show for us and on his personal blogsite, which is under construction right now, he has a direct link to our site with our blogsite icon. Once his site is finished we will be sure to provide you readers a link so that you can check him out. @Philflipsnor (from Twitter) helped us out with some great questions and by also suggesting Podcasts on iTunes. Finally, @roomerholmes (from Twitter as well) submitted a question to help us get the ball rolling. All three of these guys were a part of the first show and chat so thank you all so much for being a part of something so special to Chris and I. I hope that you guys can always make it because we had a great time.

Next week, we have no idea what our episode will be about so input is always welcome. You can either leave your ideas in a comment, in a Direct Message through my Twitter, in a Private Message either of our Myspaces or by email. My email is lindsey@worldofmeh.com and you can reach Chris at chris@worldofmeh.com.

If you haven’t bookmarked us, please do so as we try to blog at least a few times a day and be sure to bookmark our UStream channel that can be found at http://ustream.tv/channel/world-of-meh.
