Ukrainian developer 4A Games took advantage of E3 to pre-pimp their work in Metro: Exodus, the third interactive installment and member of the growing cross-media phenomenon that began with Dmitry Glukhovksy’s brilliant novel Metro 2033. Let’s recap before the news.
Sincere apologies for the lengthy outage over the past week, fellow Tappers. A whole bunch of problems happened at the same time, and we’re still working with our wonderful hosting service to identify exactly what’s going on and why. The site may be down again intermittently over the coming days, but hopefully this will be no more than a minor inconvenience. Some details of larger inconveniences below…
Deep in the Tap-Repeatedly missile silo headquarters, it has come to our attention that kids these days use something called “social media” to communicate. Apparently “The Faces Book” is the most popular of all the social medias, and we are determined to be among the first to use it.
Tap-Repeatedly is a website, it has no face. It is made of electrons. Still, some form of Face is now in this Book, and you can… you can visit? Look at? The Face is available here. It is still under construction and stuff, but early adopters like us are always on the bleeding edge. Bear with the dust and what have you.
Once you’re at our Face you have the option to Thumb us, apparently a compliment among the youth, and leave pithy messages on our “wall,” which is like graffiti but less damaging to property. I guess. It’s digital? I’m not sure what that means.
UPDATE: The server work is complete and our path to world domination is clear. Thanks for the patience!
As you may have noticed (or not, we’re still not sure what’s happening) Tap-Repeatedly is experiencing a crisis of aesthetics. Please be patient while we freak out over a private email thread and on the Staff forum. Regular transmissions will resume in the fullness of time. If you have a particular issue or concern, or if you have broken our site and would like to issue your demands, please email steerpike@tap-repeatedly.com. UPDATE: the problem may …
Though at this point Tap – a multi-national organization – has fewer active American writers than it does those from far-flung realms, we’d nonetheless like to take a moment and wish all our readers a very happy Thanksgiving Thursday. For the majority of the world, it is just a normal day. But it’s the day Americans congregate with relatives they largely despise, consume poorly-prepared turkey with a slurry of bread and spices shoved up its …
Tap’s American readers are doubtless checking the site today out of a sense of duty and responsibility (thank you), in between the brining and basting of turkey for our annual celebration of giving smallpox to the Native Americans Thanksgiving. The big day is tomorrow, and it is on that day that that around 70 homes will catch fire, and many dozens of people will be seriously injured in misguided attempts to deep-fry their turkeys, a …
Because they say it’s good for publicity and stuff, you can now follow Tap-Repeatedly on Twitter! I… think… I set it all up right. And there’s a plugin installed. God, I need to learn some new skills. Personally I think Twitter is idiotic, but hey – more traffic. 🙂
As those of you who frequent our forums know, we’ve been having problems with security recently. Last night, after a few weeks of silence, the hackers attacked again. This attack was more severe, with several administrator passwords compromised. We have shut down the forums as a precaution, and they will remain so until further notice. All users, please check your passwords to make sure they are secure. The blog does not appear affected, but better …
