  4. abstract shmups on On The Untapped Potential Of Abstract Videogames · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you like shmups(vertical scrolling shoot'em ups with millions of bullets on the screen) you should check out:

    ABA games

    The graphics are abstract, but the gameplay is pure shmup. You can download the sourcecode and also modify the bullet patterns which he defines using an XML-like markup language called, bulletML.

  5. Re:Choose Your Own Adventures on On The Untapped Potential Of Abstract Videogames · · Score: 1

    The best part about the Interplanetary Spy books was the ISBN number in the back. It was labeled, Interplanetary Spy Book Number. I always thought that was pretty clever.

    "your mind can sorta fill in the fuzzy gaps"

    LOL. This is all the comment it needs.

  14. Re:More Female Avatars! on Gender Inclusive Game Design Reviewed · · Score: 1

    "No, it really isn't an unreasonable request. Then again, what's the BFD?"

    I think the BFD is - there goes your gender inclusive game. She states the reasons why she would not buy a game that has specific gender biases and you brush them off as being trivial.

    "It's a joke, and obviously you missed the point of it."

    Maybe, but have you considered that she might not be the only one who missed the point of your joke?

  23. Re:So what are you saying? (read more) on Highway Shooters Claim To Emulate GTA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The parents are always responsible for their children's actions. The media is not going to report on this because irresponisble parents are not going to want to watch or read anything that tells them that they are bad parents. You don't want to potentially alienate your audience. It's much easier to blame it on movies and videogames.

  24. Re:A witness turned him in?!? on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 1

    I'm not contesting that he was a criminal and that was doing some really stupid things. I'm contesting the fact that he wasn't given due process because of the media circus surrounding his case.
