Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, Jan 05, 2011 5:00am PST

I'm still catching up on my RSS feeds from November and December. I haven't the foggiest what I was doing then but it apparently resulted on me getting very behind on reading things I very much enjoy. Hey! Let's go on a magical mystery tour together!

Amnesia: The Dark Descent developer Frictional Games wrote a splendid lengthy piece on 'How the player becomes the protagonist' in its spook-o-rama.

'Costumes: the Wearable Dialog' is a bit of an illustrated crash course in costume design. While its focus is on comics, the principles absolutely apply to video games too.

Inspired by the book Destroy All Movies: The Complete Guide To Punks On Film, Everything Is Terrible! produced a seventeen-minute, four-part compilation of 'punks' in movies--parts one, two, three and four. Movie punks are such strange and wonderful creatures, absurd caricatures of caricatures, that I find them delightful. As you well know, movie punks are not workplace-friendly so do not invite them to yours.

Do your part for society and make dolls--action figures, if you will--poseable so they can ride dinosaurs and do other things unbecoming of girls, lasses, women or ladies.

That's enough links for today. Do you like links? Of course you do. Did you already see these on Digg or Reddit or Clickit or Punchit or Rockit or Sockit? Good for you, sunshine.

  done with minecraft here. Me and my cousin decided we would gear up and try that portal stuff after spending hours and hours creating our castle. we decked ourselves out in awesome gear, made bows, arrows, we made tons of torches, we were ready to go after a good hour of preparation
  
  We start making those black blocks, we set it on fire. A fucking creepy door opens up. This was it!
  
  We walked into the the doorway. Nothing happens. Maybe it only worked one player at once? We try. Nothing. We make another fucking door.
  
  I alt+tab to youtube, we check vids of people building them on youtube .. We're doing it the right way. Then I notice this comment..
  
  'This doesnt work in smp'
  
  WHAT. THe. FUCKK!!!! We just quit the game and decided we wouldnt be wasting time with it. It just insta-killed our interest in the game. We tolerated so much bullshit when most feature wouldnt even work in SMP, but damn, this was just the final straw.
