So this has been a news item for a little while now:

http://au.gamespot.com/features/the-dangers-of-gamer-entitlement-6350732/

Not just reading this article, and some of the terrible things it has mentioned but also the comments down below. It took me five or six comments before I couldn’t…

I disagree with being embarrassed, as I am clearly not one of these morons. But I don’t understand what the problem was with the comments underneath. I saw mostly people defending Hepler, or stating (in a reasonable and calm way) why they thought Hepler’s opinion was a bad one. HOW is that a bad thing? Why would you be ashamed of that?

And to give my two cents, I DO think that her idea is not a great one. While I HIGHLY enjoy the story to games, I don’t buy a game to watch a movie. Nor do I think that anyone should. If they want that sort of thing, they should simply take the cinematics and package them as a DVD, sell it for less. That would be a great idea, and not ruin the concept of gaming.

Also, I am REALLY bad for hitting buttons I don’t mean to, and I would be pissed beyond belief if I accidentally hit the skip combat button or something like that.

Another idea is to make a mostly, or even completely, conversation-based game. That would make sense, although it would have to be quite substantial. Something like the way Mass Effect had the different options, but with more consequences if you choose the wrong thing to say. Still, a bit dull though.

Anyway… I may or may not get yelled at for this. Yay!

I offered to knit something for Lizzykins for her birthday since I have no funding and plenty of yarn and time, and we settled on a black dice bag with a Mana symbol on it (red Mountain). It’s my first time using dpns and the casting on was a bitch. Thank goodness Kaitlin taught me how to do cable cast on! I tried with longtail once and it was awful… I think I did it wrong, too.

BUT ANYWAYS. So far so good. Only done a couple of rows, but I have hope! This will also be my first venture into the world of colorwork. ><

Wish me luck??

i am a sarcatic teenage girl who complains a lot and spits poison

i don’t notice a difference

I am the token brown child who speaks in riddles and without moving my lips.
I do really complicated shit to get a simple answer.
I have perfectly manageable hair.
slight differences, but not quite fucked.

I am an American version of Young Neil from Scott Pilgrim, except I’ve got my own Ramona.

And I’m a habitual loser.

I assume by “your own character” this refers to the first character you think of, and the one you most identify with.

This would be Li.

I am and elf from a powerful world of magic. An epic level wizard, I serve Chaotic Good and the eladrin, but I also have an unfortunate temper. I try not to kill people. Too often.

My one true love is the man who raised me after I killed my mother. He is now virtually immortal, a golem created by great means and his own doing. I am part of the ruling body of a country ruled by mages and, after my recent promotion, am researching plainswalking for the sake of creating and then teaching a program on it at the capital city’s magical university.

My main source of income is adventuring with the only member of my past I maintain frequent contact with, Rheir, a gods-defying rogue of similarly epic proportions. My old companions have all gone their own ways, although I do see Anatol the fire-elemental monkey somewhat often for business arrangements.

I am completely full of myself and correct about it. I can destroy any of you in less than 6 seconds, but I have left my evil ways behind. Count yourself lucky, mortal.

At September 7, 2001, at 3:46 PM, the one place I want to be is at Pizza Hut with Nygil and Liz talking about something awesome and gorging myself on pizza and coke and noodles and breadsticks.

(I know they serve Pepsi, not Coke, but it didn’t say it had to be reasonable.)

Note: Yesterday, in this case, is August 3rd.

Yesterday I mostly sat around the house reading and trying not to die from the rainy humidity. Later in the evening Liz, Kaitlin and I went to buy make-up, then we went to Kaitlin’s house and Liz tried her new makeup. HUGE SUCCESS.

Then we went home and watched funny YouTube videos with Nygil, and played a game of Magic. Then there was sleep.

She’s thin, but not painfully so. Shoulder-length blonde hair, usually a bit wavy but she’s been straightening it lately. Blue eyes, fair skin. Dresses casually but well.

Adventurous, kind of a tomboy. Probably has ADD. She’s rather scatterbrained, and forgets things often, but she makes up for it in being the most helpful person ever and being enthusiastic about pretty much everything. <3

Liz, Danny, Nygil.
