    Ok, so tonight's class wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

    The lab project was long and tedious but not draining like I'd worried

    Basically, we built an electronic light meter on a little breadboard to output a measure of light as a binary number (8 LEDs, lit is "1" and dark is "0"), then for the second part we measured the electricity produced by a couple solar cells

    the fight scenes in Naruto are good

    some of the soundtrack music is quite creative
  • Also please someone say something good about Naruto


    apparently the video games are pretty decent? At least I have heard a few people say as such, I've never played one myself.
  • Smee, Maiman, Doktar, Pavelier, Button-Lee, Juan Ovyu
    Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

        However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

        Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

    Thanks, I needed a setup
  • Personally I really like video games that are pretty and a wee bit challenging but not overly so.

    the story in video games isn't usually their strong suit, and the better the story, the less gamey it tends to be

    correct me if i'm wrong but i get the feeling a lot of people here subscribe to the view that art is art and games are games and the purpose of a game is not to tell a story

    i don't agree, but i've gotten that impression when the subject has come up before, although i wasn't sure how serious people were being

    but i got pagetoppered

    making the custom boos was one of the funnest things.

    Also, story in a video game is like story in porn, I mean, assuming you like porn, I'm not assuming everyone does.

    I subscribe to the idea that games are allowed to be more than one thing in much the same way that movies or books or paintings are allowed to be more than one thing.

    You are not required to either be a hardcore Mega Man fan or someone who has played through Jazzpunk 19 times, there are more positions than just those two.

    i don't normally go in for challenge in a game

    challenge can be fun, but it's not the best thing; i'm not a person who likes to be greatly challenged i guess

    i like the feeling of being immersed in a game world, and in some games the story is an important part of that, so story is somewhat important to me

    i realize that's not the 'point' in a game, but i can't get that level of interactivity from a movie or even a VN, i can't explore the world like it's a world

    and books are neat but they're not the same experience at all; things happen sequentially and your imagination fills in the rest

    you don't get to admire the world from all angles and wander around it and discover stuff, except in a video game

  • the idea that a category of media can have only a single point is really fucking weird and I don't get it.

    I don't think videogames need a good story to be art.

    i could be wrong, but i feel like in the gamer subculture, challenge tends to be valued over graphics, story and worldbuilding, to the point where valuing any of those things over challenge usually gets you sneered at for being a noobish casual or a pretentious hipster who wants games to be art or a graphics whore
  • Smee, Maiman, Doktar, Pavelier, Button-Lee, Juan Ovyu
    Then again I don't think a big focus in the story is always a bad thing. I mean Killer7 is generally regarded as a great game, and that is because of its story, the gameplay is nothing to write home about.

    It's just that recently most story focused games have been shit like Heavy Rain which is just awful so it gives a bad image to story focused games.

    I don't know I'm rambling it's too late here

    this is true of like, a certain subset of gaming culture, but everyone has a different idea of what games "should be", and very few people seem to understand that that's not how the development of media works.

  • Games are art, art is to be experienced, if it has no gameplay it isn't a game though, but what is gameplay I hear you ask.

    Interactivity.

    I press a button, Jump Mario goes up.

    Even if a game has limited gameplay, (Let's be honest, these story games have more actual gameplay than some of the older games) so long as you can experience it and play the gameplay then art.

    ~steps off soapbox~
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Heavy Rain is very story-focused, though

    i mean it's not really comparable to your average game since it's more like an interactive movie

    That, and the "is it a game" thing needs to be discarded. It can only hold the medium back. And just because video games on average aren't as mature a medium as really any other (although comics may be a bit more immature on the whole) doesn't mean there aren't some outliers, nor does it mean that playing games to experience a story is an inherently less worthwhile goal. I'm honestly shocked that Naney thinks so.

    Challenges offer the most raw gameplay also, ~points at Dark Souls~

    This happens in books too, where people act like worldbuilding is necessarily bad.
