Posted in Uncategorized on December 3, 2009 by themeezinsider

The weather keeps getting colder and colder, but we keep getting happier and happier. Sometimes, there nothing like relaxing by a warm fire on a really snowy day… Especially if it means no school.

Now, you can experience everything you love about the winter season on Meez. All of the streets in Meez Nation have been covered in snow!

Uptown Street has been getting particularly icy. Likewise, East Main Street is joining the frigid ranks, along with the aptly named Chillville Street, and Arcadia Street.

If being outside in cold weather isn’t really your thing, feel free to hop into the Ski Lodge Party! It has everything a great lodge should have — bear skin rug, roaring fire, and panoramic views.

It’s often said that videogames are replacing movie blockbusters. Modern Warfare 2, for example, generated $600 million in revenue within its first 5 days of release. Likewise, Assassin’s Creed II boasts heavy action gameplay and is garnering some of the best reviews of the year.

This got us thinking about Meez’s very own games and which ones you guys seem to like the best.

One thing’s for sure: Meez gamers love playing with food! Three of Meez’s most consistently popular titles are Burger Island, Cake Mania 2, and Diner Dash: Hometown Hero.

If you haven’t played any of these games, check them out!

In Burger Island, you play as Patty — a hero who turns a rundown burger joint on the beach into a hopping hangout. By getting new recipes and ingredients, help make the stand the best burger place on the entire island!

In Cake Mania 2, you travel everywhere from a rooftop bakery to an underwater theme park. There are other wacky bakeries with unique layouts. Do everything from helping a friend save her bakery to rescuing her former flame. There are over 204 levels of baking and adventures!

Finally, in Diner Dash: Hometown Hero, you and your grandmother take a stroll down memory lane with one purpose in mind: Help save Grammy’s restaurants!

Meez Hero: Eaux!

Posted in Uncategorized on November 17, 2009 by themeezinsider

Meez Nation is chock-full of awesome users. However, it takes something special to be a superstar Meez Hero! From now on, we’ll be highlighting users who are active, original, and the very definition of entertainment. In other words, prepare your best Siggy! You may be chosen next…

Big props go out to Meez user Eaux. She’s consistently been creating the hottest Siggies around!

We recently chatted with Eaux to get her perspective on what makes an awesome Siggy. Likewise, she provides some great advice for other users on how to make their Siggy unique and interesting.

Check it out!

……………………………………………………………………………………

Meez: How long have you been on Meez?
Eaux: Well I joined, I ’spose, almost a year ago. December 8th.

Meez: How did you get into designing Siggies?
Eaux: Siggy making started when I got into the MCC, which was about a month (maybe a bit more?) ago. I saw how creative you could really get with ‘em and how much people valued them so I figured I’d try it out.

Meez: How much time goes into developing your Siggy?
Eaux: It really really depends. Usually about 45 minutes to an hour.
Though this mostly ends up happening when i’m making something for
myself because I know exactly what I want. Though, if I’m making one
for someone else it may take me a bit longer. I get kind of frustrated
sometimes so I’ll take breaks, haha, I know, it’s terrible.

Meez: What makes your Siggies unique?
Eaux: I’d like to hope it’s the creativity I put into ‘em. I try to turn it into something that’s different, even if if the idea isn’t exactly original I do my best to portray it in a way that may be. I’ll mess around with every part and then i’ll add a sort of “theme” to pull it
all together. Then I pop it into the oven, gas mark 300, and when it
comes out you get a perfectly crisp golden siggy. (If only it were
that easy.)

Meez: What advice do YOU have for other Meezers who want to develop a unique Siggy?
Eaux: Oh goodness, ehm. I’d say just get an idea and run with it. Get as creative as you can, think outside the quadrilateral parallelogram. It sounds cheesy but I’m not sure what else to say.

Meez: Are there any other users who you feel have great Siggies?
Eaux: I’ve always always admired Izzy-Meez’s siggies, they’re always cute and always colorful and very well done. They put a smile on your face. Also, I really love Piucca’s siggies. Basically just due to the art, creativity, and detail put into them. Their work is what really inspired me to try out siggy making myself.

Meez: What’s your favorite Meez Forum? Why?
Eaux: MCC, hands down. From the art to the people, it’s just a lovely place to be. Everyday there’s some sort of new pieces to look at, and everyone I’ve met and had the pleasure to talk to have been beyond lovely.

Meez: What’s one thing you’d like to see added to Meez?
Eaux: Maybe a weekly spotlight for some art? Something like the Meez video area on the front page. I think it’d be lovely and inspiring to be able to see your art being shown.

Meez: What’s your favorite thing about Meez?
Eaux: I’d have to say the people. I’ve learned quite a bit, smiled a lot, and laughed so hard countless times just from plain old conversations. I’ve also grown as an artist thanks to the influence and inspiration from everyone.
