This plug has been a failure.

Oh HI ! I've been working on a game and I wrote two articles on the making of the game and... To be honnest, I have no idea if they are any good. Would some of you fine friends mind helping a fellow thumb with some feedback ? http://www.themgames.net/on-the-meaning-and-authorship-of-insynch/ http://www.themgames.net/handcrafted-love/

Ok now, you're fucking kidding me... Molyneux ?

You want extraodinaire ? Check the weird Soundself which is pushing the limit again of the what is game shmit. I'd say it's a toy but a beautiful one made by pretty incredible people. http://kck.st/XtXAtA

Not really that, but... you know... maybe take a little of your dough to make rad games if you can... rather than asking for people's money... He's got plenty of it right ?

Iaisse oui are, zough a friend of maine dyd ofeur me oane olredi! ssanx

Hi hi hi does anyone have a spare Dota 2 key around here ?

I cannot, I CAN NOT unmake the appearance of the following image in my head when you talk about LBJ. Yes, to my sick brains, LBJ is in fact EL BJ, a mexican, sex themed super hero...

If you want technical details on how Valve is making Piston for Steam, please refer to this link

This is the best but I dunno whether I should post it here or in the feminism thread. Also please clicky click because apprently I'm not allowed to post images with that extension in that communauty whatever that might mean... http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5304/164440816.0/0_7e281_497f96c_M

...Why do you play? And I mean, in an interesting way, spend some time thinking about it, then tell me what your favorite game is. As in, a game that changed your life, that changed your views on a matter, an experience unique in what it awakes in your mind. I love Tetris as much as the next guy but there has to be more to playing Tetris than just "i play it because it's fun". No, it's not fun, just look at someone playing Tetris and you'll see by the blank expression on their face that they are not having the same kind of fun that kids running around with sticks have or used to have. Did fun get a new definition, or is it another kind of fun? I'm mostly interested in non-competitive experience because I kind of know the thrill of competition and it's effects So... why do you play God of War ? Why do you play Peggle or Skyrim ? Thank you

Who let the birds ooooout ? who who whowho ?

Also, linked but not directly : they way the introduction of Black Powder in Europe affected architecture and urbanism is an astounding thing to study.

This is my face, and under it, this is my new tshirt I just painted!

this answer, amongst others, i like a lot.

Now now, i'm not saying it has to not be fun, I'm saying it can be something else, more, less, different, I don't really care to define that in the question as in to answer in your stead, but my interest is that you give me more than a one liner. When journalists go about in the street and ask people, the only answer they get it "duh, because they're derp fun derp". And I'm not interested in that. I'm looking for something else, more complex. A peek if you will into what fun is to you, what do you find fun and how you go at earning your fun. Now to me, fun is what we called the practicing of activities that we developed while engineering our way around boredom. What used to be an intellectual evolutive mecanism pushing us forward by not allowing us to just eat, fuck, sleep like most animals do, is a need we feed with distraction and entertainment. I'm all for it, I'm just asking for the way, in a sense, in which YOUR boredom manifests. What are you looking for in a game that plays your chords ?

And how would you then define "achieving" in between virtual worlds and reallity ?

I am sad that this is looking like a very linear yet branching experience. I don't feel anything when playing Heavy Rain and this game looks a lot like Heavy Rain.
