The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Absolutely, but the magic can only happen in a real arcade setting.

We went as a group of 15 (gamers and non-gamers) and had a blast drinking beer and rotating around it for hours.

Recommend a short brief on how the game is played/won and what everyone's role is beforehand.

If they get a game in my area (and I'm sure it's out there), I will round up a group.

Was raised religious, left the faith when I was young much to my parents eternal displeasure.

I still often think to myself 'you need to find Jesus' when I read some of these posts.

Perhaps an old mans way of saying "touch grass".

TIL Forge terminology has ways to describe concepts like gravity in terms of agency, authority, or shared fiction, but doesn't have basic terminology to describe concepts like "fun". Which I think really puts a lot of "game design" discussions into perspective.

So you have an opinion about a game that’s directly contradicted by the text of the game in question, in plain language no less…but you still think you’re right and the book is wrong…about what the book says. Since several examples aren’t enough, clearly a dozen more won’t matter. That was a pointless waste of time. Back on ignore you go.

Adventure! is a great example. It gave us the first videogame Easter egg, and the game has a lot of nostalgic value for Baby Boomer and Gen X gamers, but by today's standards, it's worth playing once at most. (The janky duck-like dragons are still great, in a dorky way.)

In contrast, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, Joust and a host of other first and second generation videogames are still legitimately fun today.

I broke four Atari 2600 joysticks playing Frostbite! in a two-year period. Ripped them right out of the bases...
I usually ended up dying because the super-advanced electronic marvel of a game system couldn't keep up with my inferior meatsack reflexes...
If I ever get rich and build my own Jack Cave, it's going to have a custom built Frostbite! cabinet.

Well, the Adidas tracksuit is mine. In fact, I own like 7? Gotta have matching pants and jackets to match the kicks and hat, man.

Can you get me the Beastie Boys' autographs?

If you find Him, please have Him slap some of these idiots.

Oh, also, ask him wtf is up with the platypus...

You know what, I'm going to look into that right now.
