An crocodile-man teleported inside of me. What a shitty way to go.

Surgeon Simulator 2013 reminds me of those local news human-interests stories that you find on Youtube that are like "After losing both arms in a car-crash, this local man learned to paint with his feet."

Little Big Planet I don't actually want to build cool stuff, I just want the ability to do so.

That moment when you find out = priceless.

Mount & Blade If you are on foot and they have a horse, you're fucked.

They are promising to turn your drive to work into a race-track. http://www.realsg.com/2013/11/gran-turismo-6-allows-users-to-create.html?m=1

I've decided that i shouldn't be playing X-com right now.

You can make money doing what you enjoy and meet a lot of interesting people in the process! Even if you aren't good at it, I'm sure an audience would appreciate the passion with which you use your instrument to try an bring pleasure to others.

Do it outside with a basket in front of you.

I love looking through college libraries. All these delicate tomes of irrelevant conjecture. I go there for inspiration, I stay for the passion. I found "Gaming: The Future's Language" by Richard D. Duke today. Section 1, "The Problem", was so good (until he starts talking about "Future Shock") that I ended up reading 60 pages of boring shit hoping for something interesting. Maybe it gets good on page 61. Anyway, here is an excerpt: "Consider our great urban centers as they exist today -- multisystems within multisystems, alternative upon alternative presenting an incomprehensible, many-futured state which is being rearticulated daily -- a great multifaceted sphere of complexity that cannot be managed, but must be. Management of such an environment requires a holistic perspective that cannot be obtained through traditional sequential communication forms" There is something magical about finding something from 40 years ago that says "That thing you have been thinking about passionately? Someone was feeling the same way before the internet." http://www.slideshare.net/pvdhyden/74duke-gaming-the-futures-language

Okay, I have a fantasy; tell me if i'm missing some crucial understanding. An Oculus Rift game where you put your keyboard in a specific spot on your desk in order to have it be in the same spot in the matrix. Then you type on your keyboard. The cool thing about it is that you can be a writer in various environments. How cool would it be to be able to put an Oculus Rift on and then type up your novel in a parisian salon at the turn of the century. Or you could be looking out your apartment window in Neo-Tokyo, watching the noodle-shops floating by in the neon rain. I had this idea because I often go out to various cafes in order to write. I depend on having certain ambient atmospheres. I write best when there is a lot of pedestrian traffic and the only audible conversations are either indistinguishable because of volume or language. Right now I'm looking out a wall of glass watching student foot-traffic and the library elevator dings and opens and closes. It's nice, but I'd love to have a library of virtual environments in which I can peck away at The Great American Twine.

As of now, Cracker Barrel is my favorite example of a hyperreality. The illusion that it tries to create is of a world that has never existed, but people believe was once real. The region in which I live (Appalachias) may be one of the reasons that Cracker Barrel gets my vote for best example of a hyperreality.

I like participating in the economy of the game. Killing shopkeepers changes it so I'm not paying $2500 for three bombs, I'm paying $2500 to get bombs without having to worry about a jumping shotgun at the end of every level. I get a lot of enjoyment out of shopping in the game and thinking hard about every purchase. When I flip the Benny Hill-switch, shopping is a casualty. Btw, I enjoyed the video Patrick. Your excessive use of bombs (and ropes), mixes well with singing along to the Spelunky tune. I share your appreciation of Spelunky-tier fame and it's awkwardness. I don't watch all your videos, but I enjoy them when I do.

I hate killing shopkeepers. I changes the tone of the game in a way I don't enjoy unless I do it on accident.

I used to work in this place that had really gorgeous sunsets. Our crew would be driving by these amazing vistas at sunset and dawn regularly. Sometimes we would stop the car to observe anomalous moments of beauty. When ever someone understated the awesomeness of one of these spectacular views, one of the guys I worked with, Jeff, would say "I've seen better." That always cracked me up.

I have a hunch about how Patrick died.

I can't understand anything they say in Trainspotting.

I've never had green tea ice-cream, but that may provide a great opportunity to test my hypothesis. My favorite ice-cream experience was spicy chocolate ice-cream at the National Gallery of Art. I could barely finish it, that ability to evoke moderation while being tasty was intriguing.

With my new-found infos, I plan to do exceptionally well on Nov 4th's run. See y'all on the outside.

I can tell you all that eating coffee-flavored ice-cream with coffee is not a desirable experience. You would think "I love coffee with ice-cream, so coffee-flavored ice-cream with coffee should be heavenly."; not the case. I haven't tried coffee-flavored ice-cream with ice-cream flavored coffee though. That may be worth looking into; probably not. My hypothesis is that artificial flavors taste like artificiality when paired with the actual substance it's supposed to derive its flavor from. I hypothesize that artificiality tastes mentally bitter.

I just had a ufo shoot another ufo that fell at that falling-ufo-angle and it landed on me.

I also got the glove on that run.

With Nisei MK II, can the corp remove the hosted agenda counter to end the run, after all the subroutines of the last piece are broken but before the agenda is accessed?

This is an accurate description of me at any social gathering that consists of more than three people.
