there's a point to all this madness?

excellent. A friend told me about this a while ago. I reckon in the bit between the pub and the venue, the guy was hypnotized so he subconcsiously knew what to expect.

meh. Will I have to pay for this?

Hal is cool.

Also in that book is Tim Biskup. Looks like a good buy. I'd love to see Tim Biskup's style in a DF game. I suppose it's not that far off psychonauts', but typing this sentence just reminded me of something that I meant to try ages ago; programming a cubist 3D game engine, where a number of different perspectives can coexist simultaneously on screen. Have to give that a shot.

I stopped playing it on the ps2 a while ago in Las Venturas. The bit where you have to get the bird to give you a security card pissed me off. She didn't like pizza, or burgers! what the hell? A mate said you have to get your hair cut or some shit. Fuck that. The dancing mission was annoying too.

Well, replacing it with your hero suddenly snapping for no good reason, turning evil, and killing lots of children is pretty good too. Lucas seems like he really wants kids to remember his shit.

this link seems a bit out of place here, but fuck it

who the fuck is alice?

well, I'm not one to go drawing conclusions, but I see a big mushroom cloud up there, so: it looks to me like the Trojans are obviously in on it along with the reverse vampires. I am on the road crew. This is my sign.

the best bit:

This place is really throwing up some unlikely sentences nowadays. Even more than usual. Melikes.

hmmm. sort of like dolphins and brain damaged infants.

Nagging loose end (the only one):

and undressed Psychonauts.

you don't want those dirty bastards hanging around. They smell really bad after a while. Get them on the first plane back to newzealand. edit: me too (see below). that picture ruined it for me.

yeah, whatever. Just finished it, Tim is God etc... I didn't think it got too hard. I like my platformers punishing and frustrating. No sense of achievement otherwise. I spent days getting 120 stars in mario64... Excellent game. If you disagree with anything in this post, you are wrong.

Ok, hang on. 1. Yufster's very happy for some secret reason in some other thread. 2. Spaff says 'it wasn't any of the above' who wins the 'how to seduce Yufster' game. 3. Yufster couldn't stop asking where Spaff was in London. 4. England and Ireland are pretty near each other. 5. 1+1=2 Applying logic to human behaviour is usually a bad idea, but I think I'll go out on a limb. Actually no, sorry, I'll need more conclusive evidence. It could be that Yufster's started taking drugs and Spaff knows the truth about the Trojans. Anyway, never mind.

did anyone else hear/read that Ron Gilbert was too? In that pre-grumpy gamer period when I google 'Ron Gilbert' I came across some suspicious stories.

cool. Were they both connected at the same time? no, I presume.

yeah. why? Why are you so happy and I remain lost and alone in a sea of lost loneliness. WHY, goddamnit?

fyi; http://www.3000ad.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=37;t=000192;p=1 also, I vaguely remember this _very_ early first-person version of The Living Dead, where you're trapped in a shopping mall and have to solve puzzles and shoot stuff to escape.

well, one of the reasons games are appealling to me is that they are completely unimportant, but on a scale from 0 to 2, I rate the following important games: pacman: 2 streetfighter 2: 1.7 simcity: 1.6 tso monkey island: 1.86 counterstrike: 1.5

rather circular, that. I have to say, I find it impossible to read something so dense with the words GOD and SATAN. My brain just skips it involuntarily.
