<p align="left" class="MsoNormal">I recently had the opportunity to sit down and spend some quality time with the CEO of <a href="http://www.mindcandy.com">Mind Candy</a>, Michael Smith. I picked his brain about Mind Candy's newest game, <em><a href="http://www.moshimonsters.com">Moshi Monsters</a></em>, how they're going to attract and protect the kids that play it, and what some of Michael's favorite past-time activities are. Plus, we even discussed a little background on <em><a href="http://www.perplexcity.com">Perplex City</a></em>, and the status of the anticipated alternate reality game, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/perplex-city/">Perplex City Season 2</a></em>.<br /></p>
