BASE!!! Turf.net Raises $250K for Online Capture the Flag

Turf.net has raised $225K from Harrison Metal Capital, following a $225K seed round from Y-combinator in January ‘08.
Created by 4 co-founders (recent grads from Harvard and Yale, one of whom works for Google), Turf.net is an online capture the flag game super-imposed over Google Maps.

With all this talk of VCs only funding companies that increase productivity or reduce costs, its good to see that casual online gaming is still alive post-Lehman Bros. The only real reason to be more productive is to have more time to play games anyways. Take that Sequoia.
