a lot of crap and maybe some interesting things

from a commenter : "when did gamers become such snobs and poseurs

"don't look like that when you're playing a game! what will people think? that you're having fun? BLASPHEMY. GAMES ARE SERIOUS"" sigh

"I searched for broken spiderwebs which I repaired using red sewing thread. All of the patches were made by inserting segments one at a time directly into the web. Sometimes the thread was starched, which made it stiffer and easier to work with." NICE :D

on B-Games, comparing videogames and movies, stories, gameplay, and stuff.. read the comments too

"allows users to tell a story by pinpointing locations, and showing a route on a map"

waw ! "graph of your listening habits"

"I've heard (...) that there are talented programmers lacking sexy graphics.(...) So here's a thought: I'll provide some quality graphics and a seed of a design idea. All you need to provide is a working prototype of the core game mechanic"

"(...) Tasrill Sieyes, the Resident who had made Duchamp's legendary painting come alive, (...) this abstract avatar was only the beginning-- or rather, the summation in a long career of abstract avatars as a medium of expression."

"The film solely consists of photos of human body parts, which are arranged to form landscapes, animals, plants,..."

"you must run around in the REAL world to move your in-game avatar"

"Once you’ve written and shared your ficlet, any other user can pick up the narrative thread by adding a prequel or sequel."

iiik

about procedural content in game development

"Like all my pals, the TV and movie people have come calling and even the computer game people (which is weird because games are for pedos and I have no interest)." WTF??

"web-toy that invites you to draw a stick-figure and then creates a delightful, gigantic animation of your figure, multiplied into a cast of thousands, doing a joyful, Busby Berkeley show-number, with dancing and cavorting and so forth"
