    Or it died of natural causes and she merely salvaged the carcass.

    I'm at Heathrow, reading articles like this about bajillions of flights being cancelled, and hoping I make it out of the country!

    Oooh! You planning to work on Straight Street? If you see a rabbit and a dog in a DeSoto tell them they need to stop carving messages into the suspects they've been mailing me. And stop sending them USPS ground. They're not fresh when they arrive.

    Thanks! Looks like I needed more luck than I had... settled on the plane, literally minutes from takeoff, they decided to close the airport. Now I'm back in the lounge, downloading Telltale games to play while waiting to see if I can get airborne today. Good times. :D

    Heh, not to worry! The company is flying me business, so I have the lounge. I'm plugged in and eating off a free cheese board, wondering when the scones will come out for afternoon tea... to be honest, there have been greater hardships. ;)

    ... who has nothing better to do than hang out on a games forum and regale people she doesn't know with thrilling tales of waiting to go somewhere.

    Update: We have mince pies and gingerbread people. No scones in evidence.

    Stay tuned guys, this is going to get exciting any second now.

    No Fair, I want mince pies and gingerbread people. :(

    That reminds me, I know someone who thought that some mince pies where meat pies so he put tomato sauce on them haha

    I'm flying out of Heathrow on Monday, so I can very much relate. I'd like to be able to spend the Holdiays with my family, as irritating as they can be at times.

    Good luck to you - hopefully today's chaos won't stretch through to Monday. I don't care if I don't get to NY on time, but missing out on holidays with family would suck.

    Thanks, here's to hoping my crappy travel luck won't hold through this time or I'll probably have problems on the Tube or something...That's the downside of coming down from York, too many potential travel problems.

    You'll not learn to play it accurately from the net, nobody seems to get the voicing for the Em chord correctly.

    Instead of playing it

    --7--
    --8--
    --9--
    --9--

    try using this voicing

    --3--
    --5--
    --4--
    --x--

    then just slide into a normal D.

    That said i'll never be able to come out with something as nice as all those versions out on the tinterwebs :(

    Sorry, I kinda jumped the gun. It's tablature, it's an easy way to read guitar music without knowing standard music notation. Each number refers to the fret yooull be.... well fretting. The lines refer to the strings. The line at the top is the thinnest string and the line at the bottom the lowest string (in my tabs I only tabbed out 4 strings because the lower 2 aren't used at all)

    It's a really easy way to learn how to play chords when you still don't know a pile :)

    It's from 1995, so you might have better luck looking for it on abandonware sites, it'll be long gone from stores.

    Oh wait, apparently he sells it on his website.

    saw tron yesterday.
    The title seemed off since tron only had one line in the entire thing.

    Dammit, it's getting so hard not to spoil myself for this one. But I will remain strong! Hopefully I'll see it sometime this week.

    You know, I think I'm a little bit drunk. Also I want to go and watch Back to the Future Part III even though it's ten past two in the morning.

    I love Braid's gameplay, but I don't like it's pretentious artsy-fartsy storyline. Mostly because it's pretentious and in your face than artsy-fartsy.
  • edited December 2010
    You know, when I finally get my "Gamedude" webcomics set up, I'll be making a super special chapter which takes place on planet Zolhu (the main story of Gamedude takes place on planet Punchankick or something), which has a pretentious artsy-fartsy storyline, and at the end you see Gamedude go like "What the heck is this bullcrap?" and then one of the other main characters goes like "It's symbolic," and then Gamedude goes like, "You want symbolic? How about a story where I kick you in the nads? It's symbolic, it stands for me kicking you in the nads!" and then he kicks him in the nads. End of chapter.

    A story about the development of the Atomic Bomb and wanting to undo it. It's kind of a cheap "gotcha" tactic I think, but hell whatever I'll take it over the rote story design of more mainstream games anyway.

    Bull honkey. There's nothing wrong with simple yet non-pretentious mainstream storylines.

    Also, for the record, I also read TV Tropes. After the game finished I wanted to know what the hell I just played.
  • edited December 2010
    Indie industry has became, well, an industry. It's now not that much less mainstream than the mainstream games. And not so Indie too, so I don't know why the hell they're still calling themselves like that.
  • edited December 2010
    Because they ARE indie. As in, independent, as in, not bound by a publisher, as in, mostly self-funded.

    Right, sure, much in the same way that there's nothing wrong with Hop on Pop. A certain audience of somewhat stunted intelligence finds it amusing. And yes, I understand that it's not the most apt comparison, as Hop on Pop actively teaches something important to its audience, though in both cases people really should grow out of it at some point down the line.
