Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Good mooooornin'.
I dunno, I'm kinda bored with the whole Zombie thing.
Isn't it weird how broken hope sounds strange. Clearly hope is not very brittle. Unlike dreams.
Thank you random internet searches which meant that I found out about it and now have my very own copy!
I think you have to let these things lie fallow for a while or they stop being interesting archetypes.
What is this book that inspires Idolatry? I must know so I can [strike]steer you back onto the loving path of our Lord Christ[/strike] see if I want to read it.
Cybertext: Perspectives on Ergodic Literature by Espen J. Aarseth.
Really? Didn't they blow all their pop mojo in one moment of sublime genius? Since they're never going to top Groove Is In The Heart wouldn't anything further just be an anticlimax and a disappointment?
Also what song is that in that zombie thing?
Really cool style but dear god I'm sick of zombies.
Funny, I have an assignment to read a paper written by that very guy.
I got about four tracks in before going to back to my fix of morning hip-hop.
Coalition of the Thrilling (or Illing if your band drops phat beats)
The War on Trevor
The Flat Birther Movement

someone explain TF2 to me
The War on Trevor is improved if there is a band member called Trevor.
Further improved if Trevor is not well liked.
SODOMISE INTOLERANCE
Tide goes in. Tide goes out.
which paper?

Also I found this through the guy who designed city 17
looks interesting
I can't check right now because I'm on the subway, but it has something to do with interactivity in games.
sounds about right. So far I am amazingly impressed with him. The book's based on his PhD and apparently he's changed some of his terminology and refined his ideas in the past 10 years. The other book I got is by people in the same centre as him (Centre for Computer Games Research), which is Understanding Video Games and goes through history, theory and everything else in a suckiology-type way. Aarseth also found Game Studies, which is a crossdisciplinary journal dedicated to games research, web-published several times a year at www.gamestudies.org.
I may need to learn Norwegian, however.
I'm off to London this afternoon today too. What are you up to? I AM GOING TO A SPACE TALK. IN SPACE. Or in the science museum. I can't remember.
It's vulgar : (
A sentiment we can or should all agree upon

Team Fortress 2 is an online First Person Shooter game where you can assume one of nine different classes, each with different abilities, and fight against the other team. Each class has their own developed personality through the "Meet the Team" videos. The nine classes are:
Scout - Fastest, lowest HP. Can double jump. Uses a sawn off shotgun, a pistol and a baseball bat as weapons.
Soldier - Slower than average, high HP. Uses rocket launcher to rocket jump.
Pyro - Medium HP, main weapon is flamethrower. Victims take initial damage and continue to burn until healed. Pyros are immune to continued burning.
Demoman - Average speed, medium-high HP. Uses grenade launcher to blow things up. Can also plant sticky bombs to set up a trap, and can sticky jump not unlike the rocket jump
Heavy - Slowest, Highest HP. Carries around a 150kg minigun and has to slow down even more to fire it.
Engineer - Average speed, medium HP. Builds constructs to teleport allies, dispense health/ammo and a powerful fixed sentry gun.
Medic - Slightly higher than average speed, medium HP which he regenerates. Can heal his allies, and when he's healed them enough, can "Ubercharge" them, making them invulnerable for a short time.
Sniper - Average Speed, Low HP. Uses a sniper rifle from afar to pick people off. Headshots (and criticals for everyone else) do triple damage.
Spy - Average Speed, Low HP. Can disguise himself as an enemy player. His main weapon is a knife which is a guaranteed kill with a backstab. Can also "sap" engineer constructs, so they stop working and eventually blow up, but an engineer can fix them if he's fast enough.
Game formats include:
CTF - Capture the flag, or in this case, Intelligence. You have to assault the enemy base, grab the briefcase and return it to your base.
Control Point - Two flavours: A symmetrical 5 control point arrangement where both sides start with 2 and have to capture the middle point before taking the enemy points, or attack/defend, where there are 2/3 points, the RED team has to stop the BLU team taking them.
Payload - BLU team escorts a huge bomb on a railway cart by standing next to it, RED team has to stop it reaching their base.
Arena - One control point, no respawning. Whoever captures the point first, or wipes out the enemy side, wins.
King of the Hill - Like Arena, but once one side captures it, a timer (usually set at 3 minues) starts to drop for them. If the other side retake the point, their timer starts and the other timer stops. First timer to reach 0 is the winner.
My favourite city in france is Les Sables d'Olonne
I'd only be wearing it in Paris, they don't tend to mind about fairly lowkey English swearing.
I was just commenting on the bizarre series of TF2 vids that seem to have sprung up while I wasn't paying attention
I need to find an av+sig combo
