Only a few hours to go and I'm OUTTA HERE

Spoiler

to hit the shops and finally get my wife her Xmas thingies, I'm sure she wants a WiiU right

I volunteered to come back to work a week early. What the hell is wrong with me.

Having followed your work for many years, I honestly don't know. I still want to see

Mouse HD with House MD scripts rewritten word for word but with a 1080p mouse with a jahlsberg addiction instead of a pill-popping doctor.

It practically writes itself, apart from the threat of legal action by the actual makers of

House MD.

Get Mrs Zunta that thing your spoiler texted.

I'm working all throughout the holidays. Only off on 25th, 26th and 1st. :/

Also, this:

Police seek 'manly' woman over racist rant

The media in India is going crazy after this incident. Not looking good after that french singing incident.

 

[bodyboarder]

Only got the 24th and the public holidays off. Was going to take longer but want to go overseas again next year so thought best to save them up. That and work should be quiet.

 

[shanshan310]

Girl's Generation's New song sounds suspiciously familiar.

I wonder if these fuckwits understand how great the consequences of their actions are. Education and Tourism are incredibly important to the economy.

But in happier new s for you (sort of) I am working every day until the 27th.

 

[Kritz]

Alright, time to see what's got the weeaboos (and Patrick klepic) all excited about this book.

 

[Jintor]

It's not that great.

Spoiler

Until it becomes mind-blowingly amazing

. Knowing you as much as I know you, though, I don't know if you'll enjoy it until relatively late in the game.

But as an experience, it's worth having.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I enjoyed both of those games a lot.

999 and VLR are both mind blowing video games because, even though they are both visual novels, their stories can only really be effectively told as a video game.

 

[jambo]

If they're visual novels, shouldn't you say that they are "mind blowing non-games"?

Eh, I can be a wildcard when I want to. I could still like it.

I also bought Asura's Wrath for some fucking reason.

Saw Asura had hit $20, super tempted too :/

What is game?

Not a novel.

There's more game in 999 than any Telltale "game" really, and those can win GOTY apparently.

 

[Kritz]

If it wasn't for Journey and Walking Dead being my top two games of the year, I probably wouldn't give 999 a look. I figure if I can like two art fart games, maybe I'll like japanese sex novels.

 

[jambo]

What is novel?

A fictitious prose narrative of book length, typically representing character and action with some degree of realism.

There's more game in 999 than any Telltale "game" really, and those can win GOTY apparently.

Using another non-game isn't going to help.

 

[Jintor]

Interactive fiction? No fuck it they're games shut up jambo

this game non-game arguement is the most tedious worthless bullshit, it's as bad as are games art

If it wasn't for Journey and Walking Dead being my top two games of the year, I probably wouldn't give 999 a look. I figure if I can like two art fart games, maybe I'll like japanese sex novels.

but you didn't even download katawa shoujo (or even hatoful boyfriend, which I have yet to boot up)

Asura's wrath is a pretty great anime

I should probably watch the youtubed DLC ending

The coloured jeans are back. Your objections are invalid.

quop

 

[Fredescu]

quop

Qwop isn't a game, you can't even win.

 

[jambo]

What is narrative?

A spoken or written account of connected events; a story.

 

[VOOK]

Girlfriend put True Blood on last night, apart from the breasts that show made my brain hurt.

So stupid.

 

[reptilescorpio]

A spoken or written account of connected events; a story.

What is or?

 

[jambo]

What is or?

A grammatical conjunction.

 

[markot]

Crimson shroud is pretty awesome. I kinda dislike the animation method but beyond that its pretty fun.

 

[bodyboarder]

The creators know their target audience.

Everything they wear is too cute!

かわいいね。。。

 

[Danoss]

Qwop isn't a game, you can't even win.

Would a traditional pen and paper roleplaying game be a game? Because the purpose behind them is not to win, but to have fun collectively telling and experiencing a story.

 

[legend166]

20 minutes and I'm bailing from work.

Then two weeks holidays.


Yessssssssssss.

 

[hamchan]

How funny that your holidays all start when the world is ending soon.

 

[jambo]

Everyone gave up.

I win, non-games still aren't games!

You guys are soft.

 

[Fredescu]

I win, non-games still aren't games!

Of course non-games aren't games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_identity

 

[Jintor]

I didn't give up shit, you're wrong

 

[jambo]

Of course non-games aren't games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_identity

So I was right from the start?

Brilliant!

Maybe some of the people in this thread should get a warning for silly arguments or "trolling" seeing as they were clearly wrong.

 

[Fredescu]

So I was right from the start?

Brilliant!

In the sense that all tautologies are right. They don't really say anything useful.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Woot! Home early after breakup, I got a mini-pool table :/

A grammatical conjunction.

What is a?

 

[Jintor]

I wonder if being more lucid than markot or arnie makes you more aggravating

 

[jambo]

You guys are taking this way too seriously :lol

What is a?

The first letter in the English alphabet.

 

[Fredescu]

I wonder if being more lucid than markot or arnie makes you more aggravating

He seems to be the only side attempting to put forward arguments other than "shut up, you're wrong".

 

[Jintor]

I'm just tired of having this debate

if interactivity, and emotional response is derived from interactivity (not necessarily from system output), then game

otherwise you're just inventing an extra category for no goddamn reason

 

[jambo]

I just knew it was a subject that would get AusGAF riled up, so I poked the bear =P

It was funny to see everyone asking me what the definitions for words were or just shouting at me though.

I suppose everyone's just over it.

 

[Fredescu]

I'm just tired of having this debate

Maybe, but all you needed to say was:

if interactivity, and emotional response is derived from interactivity (not necessarily from system output), then game

And jambo isn't likely to "debate" that because he's just making fun.

It was funny to see everyone asking me what the definitions for words were or just shouting at me though.

"Everyone" was just reptile and jintor, and reptile was just making fun like you. Sure your troll was successful, but not on the scale you're suggesting!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Definition of game is dependant on what is accepted by society at large. Same with sex with a goat.

I like this one "an interactive, goal-oriented activity, with active agents to play against, in which players (including active agents) can interfere with each other."

Also noone got my Simpson reference.
