Universal and Flagship
Play-by-mail games are games, of any type, played through postal mail or e-mail. One example, chess, has been played by mail for centuries (when played in this way, it is known as correspondence chess). Another example, Diplomacy, has been played by mail since the 1960s, starting with a printed newsletter (a fanzine) written by John Boardman. More complex games, moderated entirely or partially by computer programs, were pioneered by Rick Loomis of Flying Buffalo in 1970. The first such game offered via email through a major online service was Quantum Space from Stormfront Studios, which debuted on AOL in 1989.
Play by mail games are often referred to as PBM games, and play by email is sometimes abbreviated PBeM -- as opposed to face to face (FTF) or over the board ( OTB ) games which are played in person. Another variation on the name is Play-by-Internet (PBI) or play-by-web (PBW). In all of these examples, player instructions can be either executed by a human moderator, a computer program, or a combination of the two.
In the 1980s, play-by-mail games reached their peak of popularity with the advent of Gaming Universal and Flagship magazine, the first professional magazines devoted to play-by-mail games. (An earlier fanzine, Nuts & Bolts of PBM, was the first publication to exclusively cover the hobby.) Bob McLain, the publisher and editor of Gaming Universal, further popularized the hobby by writing articles that appeared in many of the leading mainstream gaming magazines of the time. Flagship later bought overseas right to Gaming Universal, making it the leading magazine in the field. Flagship magazine was founded by Chris Harvey and Nick Palmer (now an MP) of the UK. The magazine still thrives, albeit under a different editor over twenty years later.
In the late 1990s, computer and Internet games marginalized play-by-mail conducted by actual postal mail, but the postal hobby still exists with an estimated 2000–3000 adherents worldwide.
Play-by-Email
With the rise of the Internet, postal gaming and postal games zines have largely been replaced by e-mail and websites. Play by mail games differ from popular online multiplayer games in that, for most computerized multiplayer games, the players have to be online at the same time. With a play by mail game, the players can play whenever they choose, since responses need not be immediate; this is sometimes referred to as turn-based gaming and is common among browser-based games. Some computer games can be played in a play by mail mode: one makes one's "move", mails a file to the opponent who uses it to make his or her "move" in response, and he or she then mails something back.
Several non-commercial email games played on the Internet and BITNET predate these.

I’ll play in Shanell’s band
I’ll play in Shanell’s band ANY DAY! So, Saturday night I took a nice little voyage out to Jones Beach for the America’s Most Wanted Tour featuring Jeremih, Pleasure P, Soulja Boy, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne and his Young Money offspring.
Upon my arrival, I was notified that Shanell and I, Weezy’s other female counterpart of the Young Money imprint, would be spending some backstage time together. Cool beans. After a nice like 10 minute sit down with SNL, I was convinced- shorty doo wop just might have a legit shot at this thing called music.
I mean, not that she needs my validation or anything- she’s already worked with Beyonce, Usher, Danity Kane, Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson & Kelis-but I was sold. Not to mention she wrote Weezy’s first rock offering, “Prom Queen”. After watching her strut her stuff onstage for a good 40 minutes, she then debuted her new single, “Play In My Band” featuring Lil Wayne.
The rock/hip-hop infused tune caught my attention because it didn’t sound like a forced attempt to jump outside of the box. It sounded more like something she actually WATNED to do. With that said, Shanell decided to throw me the single so you guys could get a taste of what she’s about to bring to the table. Download, “Play In My Band” featuring Lil Wayne, below.

As much as i love Nirvana
As much as i love Nirvana, it wouldn’t have been fair to expect Dave to just throw in the towel after Kurt died. i do not think that Nirvana could have went on without Kurt, though, and i think Dave made the right choice when he decided to form a new band. i also think Krist made a very valiant and selfless decision when he decided not to join the Foo Fighters even though Dave had invited him in order to keep people from thinking the Foo Fighters were just a new incarnation of Nirvana without Kurt.

Even MMORPGs eventually come to an end, a fact that The Matrix Online is in the process of reminding us. The game is still active, though within the realms players will find the world around them disintegrating before their very eyes. Ashes are now raining down from the sky, while characters will find themselves battling the likes of angels, demons, agents and zombies.
For those players that have stuck with the game since the beginning, it’s likely a bittersweet parting. For those that gave up on it long ago, it’s probably a good time to head back, just to see what the developers are doing to bring the game to its final end.
Today is the last day for The Matrix Online so if you haven’t already logged in, you should hurry to do so!
