About Me
Name: Ira
Occupation: Entrepreneur
Age: 26
Location: Victoria, BC, Canada
Facebook: Right here
I’ve been making websites and designing games for over 8 years now. My most successful site has been AddictingGames.com which is now owned by MTV. After the sale I launched OneMoreLevel.com and it has grown to over 3 million visitors a month. I’m particularly interested in Web 2.0 startups, game design and the growth of the casual gaming industry, which is the intended focus of this blog, however it may degenerate into lolcat photos and off-topic ramblings.
My design philosophy behind OneMoreLevel is:
- Quality over quantity. Only the best games make it on.
- Non-intrusive and minimal advertising. I don’t allow pop-up or audio ads.
- A quick, clean layout and no login required to play games.
- Free sharing of games. I’m happy to link to my competitor’s site if they have a good title I do not. I’m not a fan of walled-in sites.
- Reward developers. Without them we wouldn’t have any games and I wouldn’t have a job!
My other interests include playing guitar, photography, hiking, disc golf and travel.
If you have any questions or suggestions send me an e-mail, or leave a comment below.

February 20th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I spend hours with that “Random” button. I remember when this site used to be something else. It was optical illusions and stuff and then it changed the name. What was that old site’s name?
February 20th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Yeaaaa for canadians in the casual gaming world!
