Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Thoughts both confusing and enlightening.

Winter-een-mas?

elbeno, 12 January, 200629 July, 2007

Apparently it’s a sort of celebration of video games. So I am wondering what to do about it… I could just carry on as normal and spend my Saturday playing games (*cough* WoW *cough*)? I could get out some of the old ones (at least, the ones that can run on 120V/NTSC)? Or I could come in to work that day, and make my gaming contribution that way. Mrs Elbeno might not like that though.

Any gaming friends I might hook up with (with the possible exception of , but I don’t think he plays games much, at least post-1990 games) are a non-trivial distance away.

Answers on a postcard, please…

Home from GDC

I’m home from the 3 day tour of GDC, and it was very worthwhile. A non-stop maelstrom of recruitment, attending talks and catching up with old friends and colleagues. Talks I attended: Video Games Turn 25: A Historical Perspective and Vision for the Future by Satoru Iwata (Nintendo Co., Ltd.)…

    I shall send in my answer on a punchcard with the text writen in #2 pencil on the back, but meanwhile:

    For shame, sirrah! How can'st though be a gamer and not express the joyous spirit of The Season?

    I think a frag-fest with Big G is just the thing and if he doesn't play that often — more kills for you! Bwahaha! (um, joke. maybe.) Or play old skool — we have MarioKart tournaments at our party, and Pokemon snap still gets action. What's better than old Mario?!?

    What is the difference between you going to work all day and you playing WoW all day?

    Also, why do I not have a Gamer Girl-type icon? That seems an odd thing to overlook.

    Umm… perhaps not a lot – at least if I come in on the weekend. But in my normal work environment I do work rather than play, honest!

    Old school is OK, but it doesn't make any dent in the Elbeno household RPG mountain. I'm looking at a backlog of weeks of gametime if not months at this point. Mrs Elbeno doesn't play DDR these days but we did get Karaoke Revolution Party for Xmas. I don't think the US release of Beatmania will make it for WEMas.
