hey u wanna ply a game w me?
March 13th 2003, 02:27 CET by Caryn I know a while back we discussed games on cellphones and whether or not they'd take off. I believe the general consensus was that it would never fly. But I am here to shamefully admit that I, your humble author, am getting addicted to cellphone games. I recently bought a new phone and upgraded my AT&T wireless to include data and their fancy shmancy mMode service. I did it partly because I'm a wireless gadget freak, and mostly because it allows me to get my work email on my cellphone when I'm away from the office. But I find myself utterly addicted to playing with the internet access I have on my phone, which is surprisingly robust. One of the many features, of course, is games. I'm not talking about Snake and other games that come standard with your cellphone, with or without internet connections. There is a whole host -- about twenty, last time I looked -- of games you can access and play on your wireless phone, and many of them are multiplayer. There's trivia games, casino games, even games that are something like speed dating. I'm currently very into a wireless multiplayer version of Tamagotchi -- I care for my pet, and I can enter him in pet shows against other cellphone players, see their pets, etc. Many of us have probably seen ads for Tony Hawk and other color graphics games on some of the next-gen Motorola phones. So I wanted to revisit this topic and talk about a few things. Are there game concepts that you think could and possibly will fly on a cellphone? What sort of game concepts is the cellphone platform perfect for? I'd love to see what the collective Crap imagination has to offer here. And finally, has anyone else seen games in cellphones on the rise since we last talked about it? Points docked to anyone who points out how lame I am for playing games on my cellphone because I'm already aware of it. |

#338 Bailey Xero Now that was just crass. You may not agree with what I do, but you will understand that I don't have to defend my actions to you either because I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about how I go about getting laid. You're half right. I am a base and depraved creature, this has been established previously. However, don't misconstrue one off the cuff snipe in a long series of off the cuff snipes to somehow be personally targetted. I don't know you or your significant others, so I don't care about the methods you use in the pursuit of love, sex, and happiness. I don't believe in being personally judgemental of people I don't know. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop being a sarcastic bastard, however. Warren But it's also been my experience that men who think women go psycho on them for no reason, sometimes don't "get it". It takes two to tango and all that ... Warren can lead by example, as he only dates the well-balanced, intelligent strippers. I'm cool Bailey, yeah I do tend to personalize this stuff a little more than I should. : ) Every time a computer geek actually freaking pays for something, an angel gets its wings.

Chunk- I applaud you. If she's 50 plus, and you guys have fun, who gives a fuck? Walt Whitman once said, "I see great things in baseball. It's our game, the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us." You could look it up.

Refraining from the obvious. I, Complainicus

Refrain, shitstain. Walt Whitman once said, "I see great things in baseball. It's our game, the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us." You could look it up.

Chunk, Do you call her "your little cougar"? Seriously though, whatever consenting adults choose to do is alright with me. And Harold and Maude was a great movie. |
|
I thought I was the current whipping boy? *sidesteps* Ill not step on your coat tails no more Warren ! Do not go gently into that good night.

#345 by LPMiller The older you get, the younger seeming the young seem to be. Don't feel bad. Once in front of a room full of friends I had this staggering gem of a revelation, which I related in total seriousness: "You know, songs are just like poetry set to music." And I wasn't even drunk. |

#355 yotsuya Chunk- As long as that is her age and not her dress size...I applaud you. If she's 50 plus, and you guys have fun, who gives a fuck? blah blah bleh

The return of Jackson! So I'm back to fooling around with teenagers. They don't go for the money so quickly. The seeming unanimity among poets makes them look suspiciously like a herd of independent minds.

Sure they do, they just have smaller tabs so you don't notice so quickly. I, Complainicus

And I wasn't even drunk. Hehe. Yeah, I think we've all had those moments. Seems so witty and insightful till it's hanging out there like a bad odor you wish you could blame on the dog, if only you had one. I believe I can fly......urk.

Movies are like plays, but they film them, and edit them. 2000/XP is better than Win9x in every way.

Also, motorcycles are like bikes with engines, and kitchens are like bedrooms without the bed and with the frozen dinners. I believe I can fly......urk.

Reading Planetcrap is like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, but without all the blood. 2000/XP is better than Win9x in every way.

No blood, huh? You must not be hitting yourself hard enough. blah blah bleh

interesting. with regards to the age formula, if you turn a relationship into a math equation, you've already lost. putting limits on something like that is pretty much taking any potential happiness out behind the barn and shooting it in the head. or, for Warren, donkey-punching it. chris: i used to think the same way, figuring the odds are better that i'd have the most in common with someone roughly my own age. i was wrong. i hope you're not, and that if you are, it doesn't take you fifteen years to figure it out like it did me. Xero: i'm probably one of the few people here that understands where you're coming from. the biggest danger in your position: unwittingly and/or unintentionally (i.e. not with malice aforethought) increasing the frequency and intensity of the lies, stepping outside the boundaries that you and any prospective partners have established for that sort of interaction, because you fear you may be losing your game as you age. that sort of dynamic that you're describing works really well in your early to mid 20s. past 30, your appearance won't be something you'll be taking for granted, and in that dynamic as described (or as i understood, which may be incorrect), appearance plays a large part in baiting the initial hook when it goes in the water. i don't know your past, nor do i want to. all i can say is i hope that wound heals, and soon. because to live like you are past 40 is pretty much Sam Malone from Cheers--and if you do heal later rather than sooner, it may be too late to do anything about it. best of luck. By this time tomorrow we can be doing BODY SHOTS off HOOKERS in some MEXICAN HELLHOLE

crash - well, I'd have to be dating to find out one way or the other, and I'm presently not, so the point is rather moot. :P -chris |

technicalities. you know what i mean. so :P back atcha. By this time tomorrow we can be doing BODY SHOTS off HOOKERS in some MEXICAN HELLHOLE

I turned 23 and suddenly it became easy as hell to get a date. Some galactic switch turned on... Hell if I know what it is, but I'm not arguing. The seeming unanimity among poets makes them look suspiciously like a herd of independent minds.

Inending. You can't derail this train of idiocy, Shadarr. Not even with a big fat cow of logic on the tracks. - Bailey

I live in terror of my forties becuase by then I'll have to had made some sort of natural leap in maturity and approach or i'll end up that crazy creepy guy with all the cats. : ) Every time a computer geek actually freaking pays for something, an angel gets its wings.

Thanks for all the feelings, everyone. And Bailey, I'd say you're a lot more acid than you are base. What the hell are you starin' at?
|
|
Bailey on acid, now there would be a sight to see. Troll, troll, troll your post, gently down the page...
