Hatted up. |

I like hats. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|

The Night Santa Went Crazy still says the ultimate Christmas song, but this one's nice, too. Makes me want to find the old CoC handbook and flip through. 'You asked for a miracle, I give you the F-B-I.'

I need a hat. Here's my amazon.com wishlist. |
|
Doesn't work, that just show my Amazon wish list (or a page to create one if you're not logged into Amazon). <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Really? You'd come into the city just for the classes at Artisanal? I like the restaurant and all, but there must be places for that closer to you? Also, I hate to break it to you, but there are only seven seasons of DS9. |
|
Jamie's wishlist. |

Thanks, G-Man. I fail at the Internets. |

I tried to change my avatar's Santa hat into a bizarro hat (swap red and white) but it looked awful, so I'll stick with this. My Xmas list. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

We went to a class at Artisanal (they held at their cheese center, not the restaurant) and it was pretty good. I have one book by the Maître Fromager Max McCalman and wouldn't mind to see him in person. As for cheese classes (it says wine class, but it's really about the cheese) around here, I dunno. There are some good cheese stores I found, but I don't know that they do a thing on wine and cheese pairings. Fuck, I missed that typo. It's supposed to be 7, that'll send everyone on a wild goose chase if they want to get it. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

I have no wishlist. |

A Theory of Fun for Game Design was a good reading. Sometimes he got too meta and philosophical, but still worth reading, he makes some very important observations/notes. |

Jamie's wishlist. I'm playing Crackdown right now! |
|
Jamie, a hat is coming for you! |

I can't help but notice Shadarr still has a turkey on his face. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

#15 by assemblerer A Theory of Fun for Game Design was a good reading. Sometimes he got too meta and philosophical, but still worth reading, he makes some very important observations/notes. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'd find Raph Koster's theories about game design more interesting if he'd ever actually made a game I liked. "Bioshock, sadly, is no Painkiller." - BobJustBob
|
|
I can't help but notice Shadarr still has a turkey on his face. I've grown attached to it. Or perhaps vice versa. |
|
You know, that's exactly why I don't like Raph's theories about game design... I can't point to one game that he successfully designed... I'm not saying he's wrong on his stuff or that he isn't experienced, but the grandfather of MMO design persona he's kinda taken on as of late annoys me due to his actual history with MMOs.

I already bought myself everything I actually want*; the list is just the runners-up. *Except for the Futurama movie and The Wire season 4 -- those come next week. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
I don't really have a Christmas wish list. As an adult I've just bought things I've wanted, so Christmas is mostly a surprise. And a lot of socks. |
|
I thought Futurama came out this week, on the 27th? I'm still on the fence as to whether I'm going to buy it. On the one hand, I have the complete series on DVD up to this point so keeping the collection complete would be good. On the other hand, I've really only watched them once anyway, so why not rent? |
|
I don't really have a wish list for the same reason as Gabe, but I'll need to come up with one to avoid getting socks. But we also usually have a $50 or $100 cap, and this year the girlfriend and I will forgo gifts entirely because we're already paying for a train trip back from Edmonton. |
|
Futurama came out this week, but I'm not planning on ordering it until next week. I'm not really sure why, since I've got Amazon Prime. It's too late now, anyway. I watch Futurama all the time. I ripped every episode to an external hard drive and set up a random playlist. Now I always have something to watch! I was going to add in some other shows like Sealab and Arrested Development but, fuck, ripping and re-encoding that stuff is such a pain in the ass. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Yeah, my wife and I are skipping gifts for each other this year because our credit card bills are getting up there. It also hurts that my kids' birthdays are in December and January. |
|
My brother and both my sisters buy a gift, plus my parents, grandfather, grandmother, great aunt, and aunt, so I need the list to avoid a lot of random crap. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
I admit I don't mind the socks that much... Bender's Big Score is good. I went in a little nervous that it wouldn't live up to the prior quality, but it did. |
|
I good at waiting to buy stuff, and I don't mind waiting during the holidays so that I can get good Christmas gifts. If there's something that I really want and don't get, I'll buy it afterwards. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Fine, I'll do the santa hat but I still want my lump of coal. MP3 Of The Week: The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine.mp3 (?)

I'm trying to come up with a Xmas list and I'm finding it really hard. Most of what I want is far beyond the acceptable price range. "when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully." Samuel Johnson

no santa hat for me, I suck at the photoshop. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Boo, I knew by the time I'd finished you'd have got one. Oh well, I'll link it anyway. MP3 Of The Week: The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine.mp3 (?)

I like Dumdeedum's lp icon better. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.
|
|
As do I. Better than thieving my damn hat. |
|
Yea, Dum's is way better. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

I just abused my power. Jamie and LP have been fixed. |
|
I'm participating! |
|
The plasma we bought is our big Christmas present. Besides that I'm getting Mario Galaxy and either Guitar Hero 3 or season two of The Muppet Show. |
|
OK, I'm off to Vegas for 4 days of bacchanalia. Try not to miss me, bitches. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Check your FSI! |
|
OK, hat in place. It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

I don't think I've ever used photoshop in my life. That's the cue for one of you fucks to do work for me. "Why would I wanna read the book? All I'm saying is, I see a game every day. I watch baseball every day. I have a better understanding about why things happen than the computer, because the computer only tells you what you put in it. I could make that computer say what I wanted it to say, if I put the right things in there. ... The computer is only as good as what you put in it. How do you think we got Enron?"
|
|
that's fine with me Gabe, I know mine sucked ass....nice job, Dum! "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" � "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
You know what, FUCK all this Christmas-and-it-gets-so-fucking-dark-so-fucking-early-you-go-to-work-when-it's-dark-and-leave-when-it's-dark SHIT. I'll be Jesus wouldn't even show up for his birthday party, I swear. This linoleum-based BULLSHIT is for ultra-faggots with no FUCKING CLUE. |
|
Do to the fact the last three weeks have made me hate this time of year with a passion I'm finally going to remove my long present Santa hat. |
