You’ve read our blog, and puzzled over what the hell we’re doing here at Appy Entertainment (and if you figure it out — let me know). You’ve seen our cake (and voted for it, right?), laughed at the freakish images in our photostream, and downloaded our wallpaper. All we’ve asked in return is a few minutes of your day and a dollop of your self-respect.

Well, boys and girls, the day has come — Appy’s putting the bite on ya. No, we don’t want your money. We don’t even have an App to announce (yet!), but you can help us here at the Worldwide Secret Headquarters if you’d take a moment to spead the word about Appy Place. That’s right — we’re having a subscription drive!

(what the heck is Grit, anyway? … maybe they know over at Bully’s)

We’ve had a nice bump in daily readership since last week’s Militant Optimism piece about Privateer Press — and that’s great! Many of the folks mousing over to Appy Place for the first time to view those gorgeous giant monster pictures have decided to stick around, viewing us here on the site, or via RSS or email feeds. But in furtherance of our diabolical plans, we’d like to see our captive audience grow even larger … and that’s where YOU can make a difference!

If you read and enjoy the blog (or even if you hate it), it would really, truly, genuinely help us out if you’d forward one or two of your favorite Appy Place blog entries to a friend and encourage them to check us out. If everyone reading today could promote us to one or two of their friends, then we might … dare I say it? … rule the world! Or we might at least add a few more members to the Appy Army in advance of our big product announcements in the weeks to come.

So … why not send a couple of these links to some poor, unsuspecting slob through the miracle of the intertubes? Break up their drab, office-bound lives with a blast o’ Appy, like …

… a brutal review of a movie we proudly admit to having never seen.

… a story about a software producer who got so drunk that he ate a hand-full of rocks.

… an in-depth look at how we made our Appy Entertainment logo.

… a description of the creed of Militant Optimism.

… a book review about Dungeons, Dragons, and growing up strange.

… a fond farewell to a legend of science fiction.

… proof that everything you need to know about game development can be learned from Animal House.

… the ravings about Apple’s OS Trojan Horse assault on the world’s living rooms.

… or cherry-pick the full Appy Place archives here.

As a do-it-ourselves start-up, we don’t have any prizes on offer, but by helping to swell our readership you’ll not only be helping this blog continue to do whatever it is that it is doing … you’ll also be supporting the raving maniacs here at Appy Entertainment in their quest to “make the world happier, one game at a time.” We’re attention whores, you know, and seeing those viewer numbers going up makes us all tingly inside. When we’re tingly, we’re happy, and when we’re happy, we make cool stuff.

So make us Appy! Recruit a friend (or an enemy?) to Appy Place today … for duty, and humanity!

(this is just one of many vintage photos at Dr. X’s site, and they all creep me out)

Thanks a pile!

Back Friday with another installment of NOT At The Movies!
