[Using My Selectric]

 [META] Now that this game is ending...

[konamouse]

My outlook on META is pretty much overall looking at the topic/subject/game/life. Usually I immerse myself into the games alternate universe. To me the characters are real and their lives are real. I use the META tage when I pull myself outside the Alternate Reality of the game and look at it from the real world. When game play, game engine, the PMs and stuff from behind the curtain is discussed.

From my knowledge (the games I'm currently watching/playing):

You might want to look at Eldritch Errors if you like mystery. It's based on the HP Lovecraft mythos and scheduled to go for about two years. Fairly slow pace and regular "story so far" updates on http://www.eldritcherrors.com/

Last fall an indi-game (aka "grassroots") took us by storm (lasted about 2 months). Sammeeeees was a hit - mystery, murder, kidnapping, save-the-world stuff with individualized character interaction, movies and live meet (if you lived in Santa Monica, CA). All done by an individual PM (who has gone on to start writing for LonelyGirl 15). Now we are starting a sequel. Check out the link in my signature for the story of the Sammeeeees, and the [SAM2] threads in Potentials forum for the current stuff.

notgordian has already posted some stuff in this forum about other current games here.
