i'm fretting over whether or not it's "cheating" to pretend that the parking lot I want to redesign still has traffic signals at its entrance
(in real life, the signals were removed when the kmart closed in 2003, but in hypothetical-land the building was reused as a school and thus would still generate traffic)
I've noticed that when I'm feeling enthusiastic about something, I bring my arms to my chest, ball my hands into fists and tap my knuckles together. It's basically involuntary...

fun. is coming to Columbus this summer.
Part of me wants to go see them, but I think I'd rather save my money for the AU/CA meetup.
A friend of mine showed me this after I introduced her to Todd in the Shadows. While I thought the video was okay, his placing of "We Are Young" really irritates me. His "it's a hipster band, so I'll just talk about that instead of legitimate complaints" reasoning made it worse.
Which, for some reason, reminds me of something else:
I really, really hate the word gimmicky in game reviews and the like, because it's become such a loaded word. For example, let's use the Wii. 99% of the people who hate it will generally, when asked why, say "because it's a stupid kiddy console." When pressed further, they'll say "The controller is a gimmick." What is a gimmick? None can say. What it seems like to me is that gimmick means "new thing that I don't like."

What gimmick should mean is "odd feature of a game or game system that doesn't mesh well with the other aspects of the game or game system, or is emphasized in spite of not adding much to the gameplay." A perfect example of the former is the hacking in the original Bioshock, whereas the only example of the latter (which tends to be more subjective) is the PS3's Sixaxis controller.
The problem is that reviewers and/or fanboys will often use the term gimmick with no regard for how well the feature is implemented. Going back to the Wii, even if you don't like it, it can hardly be said that many games for the console made great use of the controls, and that, if not better, the system is certainly different for its approach.

what something means and what something "should mean" are not always the same thing.

This guy sounds like a self-righteous prick. Not completely without taste or reason—some of these are awful, awful songs—but just really self-satisfied and pretentious in that "I am so grounded and not a hipster" way.

Very true, but what I was saying that as it stands, "gimmick" is basically equivalent to "hipster," in that it means nothing but people act like it does anyway.

gimmick: feature over-emphasized upon to the point that it is detrimental to all other features
hipster: one who praises obscure media for its obscurity rather than its merit

he's one of those people who act like saying "SCIENCE" over and over again is a compelling argument against religion

He lost me as soon as he started bitching about text-speak.
Do people who hate text-speak forget that SMS has a 160-character limit? I like to spell words out when I can, but I'd rather abbreviate a few words than end up sending someone one of those annoying-ass too-long messages that comes through in two parts.

Do it.

Or don't. You're your own person and I respect that.

From how I looked while I was doing it, I must imagine that you are called cute on various occasions.
That series of actions is like the call of the kawaii-lover.

I can't tell who was happier. Me for finding someone who plays Debussy, or him for finding someone who recognizes it.

I helped him through the rest of it.

also you are overly defensive of the Wii.
this is the same conclusion I have come to with almost every Youtube reviewer. The sole exception being Nick of Indie Impressions.
