Intrepid Homoludens

Wow, Erwin. Do you make housecalls?

Erwin, how does that thing work? Where do you lie down? Where does the other person.....? Kingz? He's hot. As usual.

Shut up, wormsie. She is doable. You know.....um.....

Well, I've only played the demos to both. I want SoT a lot more than WW, because it's more fun...it feels like you're in a cool animated feature film and the characters look more engaging. WW, however, looks shallow and has that annoying "look-at-me-I'm-dark-and-edgy" bullshit to it.

Erm.....okay.

Moos was the consummate slut of the AG community.

Did I ever tell you how 'doable' you are? I have ideas. Very nice ones.

yeah, perv, you're like that cat perched up high on the beams looking down at everyone and observing. naughty pussy.

Um....how's your workmate at the store?

So basically that woman was stupid and immoral enough to commit the ultimate crime just because she was a moron and didn't at least go up to him and say, "Excuse me, I don't believe I know you. Thank you for coming to the funeral. I'm ____, her daughter. What's your name? Are you a friend of hers? I hope you can make it to the memorial, we can talk a bit more then." Jeezus cripeys, Yufster, you suck for this.

< gets a room for them both at a posh Parisian hotel he knows and likes...and invites Rusalka to take the room next door and put her ear to the wall, because he knows she'd like... >

I thought you knew no bounds?

Not for that purpose. I love owls. They've got that "I-don't-know-wtf" coolness about them.

If only real life were such.

Erkki, you're dumb. A defrag session for me is usually done at night before going to bed, hopefully by morning it'll be done. If not, that's a great time to be doing something else, like gaming on the Xbox or writing letters.

Nah, plain ol' Trep is fine, love. BTW, how is Wow playing for you, monkey? Field report, please.

Trep®. Hey, that works. Cool. Trep®. ®

< looks at wormsie, whom he knows and likes > .....

As simulation for historical research and educational purposes JFK Reloaded has some merit. It could have been pitched as that. It could have been done in a more neutral manner, with no sensationalistic bullsh!t attached. But Traffic utterly fucked it up by promoting it as some glorified carnival game: Blow the brains out of a highly respected world leader, again and again, and win a prize!! This is no different from those people who grabbed debris off the World Trade Center site after the attack and tried selling them on Ebay, except in this case it's worse as Traffic is pimping their ware behind the mask of 'research and education'. Yeah. Pathetic piece of marketing trash at the expense of many people, not just the one who died, but also his family and countless others who looked up to him, admired him (as I do). Just.....trash. Traffic may now be raking in the money and attracting the attention of game publishers, but in the end, that's all they have going for them, the only thing they can shove in their empty holes where their souls used to be. Money. That's my final word on this thing, as I leave this thread with Clive Thomspon's take on the game: Video Game Based on Shooting JFK National Public Radio audio file, 11/24/04 I transcribed a good portion of the audio file:

I want that damn owl.

I want that owl.

Jake, that finger should be raised higher.

No, Kingz. What you are living is the waking American reality.

I volunteered to keep tabs on it (i.e., talk to very pleasant natives in India - I love their accent) specifically to prevent him from fucking things up even more. Well hey, it's his damn money he's blowing out the chimney, so as long as I have my connection I'm happy....more or less. Currently he's working his ass off (6 days a week) to buy a 60" LCD HDTV for the living room so he can watch satellite broadcasts (as well as impress the neighbours, hoo hoo!). And yeah, he's gonna need to install a separate satellite for that (which is what he does for a living). See, he's from Turkey and he's merely after the.......*drum roll*.......AMERICAN DREAM!!! [cue sickeningly sweet violin music] Funny, I don't remember my family showing off expensive gadgety toys to neighbours just to make them feel inadequate.

I finally got myself to download and play the demo. I felt sick.
