Alternate Reality Games Grab Mindshare
An nonymous reader points to articles at the New York Times and on the BBC about online games that require a lot more audience participation and curiosity than conventional games do. "Known as ARGs or Alternate Reality Games, these immersive experiences mix real world clues, phone calls, voicemail, email chatter-bots, real people playing roles in real life and a bevy of bogus and legit websites, to create a fully rounded gaming experience that bleeds over into everyday life. With central sites like ARGN, Unfiction, and endless forums and Yahoo groups, the BBC claims that this is not only a quickly emerging gaming trend, but that it may also have real-world applications like group dynamics and problem solving. Chasing the Wish claims to already have a few thousand people worldwide playing since it opened for play on Feb. 28. One sure sign of having people's attention is the fact that it's already spawned a parody site, Chasing the Fish."
Iraq bombs YOU!
This has to come out. When I fart, the wind blowing thru the urethra makes my ass whistle. It has gone so deep, I can't even touch it w/ my finger anymore. Man, everyone at school is going to make fun of me even more, now. I can't even shit. Fuck, Linux sucks.
No shit. I think we should line up Arabs and I'll try to jump over them with a steamroller. It gets rid of one of the world's problems and is entertaining to boot.
Stab ricers in the face.
I am ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas. I sure didn't elect that cowboy!
