Can anyone please clue me in on what I just watched here?
I’ve seen some weird Japanese video game advertisements in the past, but this one’s a touch beyond. A touch.
I’m hoping that some kind of bizarre copyright lawsuit doesn’t bring this thing down, but for the time being, you too can experience gaming the way it once was in the day of monochrome displays and before modern graphics (or even ancient tile-based graphics systems really existed).
It looks a lot like this, updated with a nice look by Adium:
You can see the Jabber address used in the screenshot above. Don’t know what a Jabber client is? If you already use Google Talk, Trillian, or Pidgin, you’ve got one installed on your system.
You should also be able to send the appropriate message by clicking this link if you have a client installed and an active account.

I don’t think I could explain things any better than this video can.
An introduction to Faceball from Face Ball and Vimeo.
I’ve also added an article to my wiki for Faceball and am looking forward to hosting the eventual First Annual Markel Invitational Faceball Tournament.
