Intrepid Homoludens

Exactly. That's what I was thinking. Software expressly for watching DVD movies are pretty much self-contained. WinDVD is one. Also, there are often media software that already come with the actual DVDs themselves, and when you slip the disc in you're prompted to install them.

You may be interested in this. I originally posted it in the Adventure Gamers Forum: I think this may be the right forum to post, as the staff writers and some interested forum members would be interested. Clement Greenburg (art critic), Dorothy Parker (literary critic and author), and James Wagner Au (cultural and video game critic). The Critic Odyssey radio talk show No mention of computer games, but the ideological, intellectual, social, cultural, and commercial values discussed apply just as well to the game critic [reviewer ]. Awesome discussion, dimensioned with a brief history of the critic and criticism and their various types: academic, public, social, highbrow, middlebrow, interpretive, etc. I agree with Ernest W. Adams' sentiment. Game reviewers are just that. The game critic, however, is a different - and very, very necessary - breed. I strongly feel that game criticism (when it finally develops momentum) will help bring games and their creation to a more culturally relevant level, much in the same way that films and other expressive forms (whether for purposes to entertain, educate, or etc.) came to be taken seriously as such. In the end, it can truly help games achieve a resonant legitmacy as powerful social, cultural, and even political force.

You hug it.

Fish suck. Because you have to take care of them. And you can't hug them. That's the worst thing. Fish are not huggable. And they swim in their own shit. Especially bottom feeders. I prefer pussies. You can hug a pussy. And it cleans up after itself. And throw it some pussynip. It gets high, goes crazy and squirms. Fun for hours. I want a Lava™ Lamp. Even though I can't hug it.

Like these?

You guys have some pretty awesome looking spaces. And they're tidy!! That instantly puts you high on my personal 'attractive motherfookers' list!

LOL! Too funny. I've finished Fable, but I want to continue exploring Albion with my current hero (Liberator - old, weathered, and obscenely sexy beef hunk Spellcaster Warrior with a sweet heart), need to find and unlock all the treasure chests, etc. Thing is, I love my humble little hubby in Bowerstone South and want to stay married to him and only him. So, that in mind, I want my wife Lady Grey dead. DEAD! And then I want to buy the entire city of Bowerstone. So I did a search and found these hilarious possible ways of killing her:

LOL!

Shit, that's way too close to home with me. But I don't consider myself a monkey, more like some gremlin imp space alien who loves martinis. Don't fook with me, Treesus, I'll sprinkle chili pepper in your underpants.

I hereby nominate Screwtape to review Doom 3: Resurrection Of Evil!

Yeah, Erkhead, work on this! Sounds like an interesting idea to address.

"MuhahHAAa - I'm impeccable to the kingz-shaped cattlepr:naughty:d...."

LMAO! Bc9b, your new avatar soooo fooking rocks!! oh...HA!! Brings back memories: Lucy: "I got a candy bar!!" Linus: "I got a lollipop!" Sally: "I got a licorice stick!" Charlie Brown: ".......I got a rock."

I wouldn't have you any other way.

stop that, w:deranged:rmsie, you're being charming again.

I've always thought was soooo you, w:deranged:rmsie.

Kingz can be so 'easy', can't he, wormsie?

You're in, stud!! But I find Nico more attractive in terms of personality (although she's beautiful anyway). She's up with Grace Nakimurababe in my book.

I tried the demo, and it looked fun. But I think it's better if I played it on a console. It's a very consoley game.

Oh, I'm not hyped, I'll be careful. After all, I did a gamer's blackout on Psycho-boner-nauts and Half-sexy-Life 2. And there doesn't seem to be a superfluity of press over Bloodlines, so I'm fine with that.

Dammit, I feel so left out. Ummm, you forgot Chris.

And you are sooo cliche!
