What better way to herald the launch of Sony Online Entertainment's new family friendly online game Free Realms than a launch trailer narrated by a flying squirrel with a mohawk?

He might actually be a sugar glider or some other airborne mammal, but Chatty does a fine job of explaining the various merits of Free Realms to the uninitiated. Certainly a much better job than I generally do. I should probably just transfer this video to my unspecified portable media device and play it whenever someone asks me about the game.

To give the game a go, head over to FreeRealms.com and sign up. You'll be in-world within minutes, unless launch day madness brings the servers to their knees. Stranger things have happened.
