    I have the PM Magazine theme song from the 1980s stuck in my head.

    ...I'm not sure what you mean by that. What would even be left of Big Brother without the reality show aspect?

    I know this one goes with the show's alternate name, but is it this:

  • Like, remove the challenges, make it more focused on the kinds of things that happen day to day, I dunno really what I want but there's a really compelling concept there that sorta got smothered by all the stupid stuff.

    My mother watches a lot of reality TV and it's annoying.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Yes, that one! I'm pretty sure Michael Karp did the music, because it sounds like two other things he did: Dateline NBC and Live. (The old 80s TV Theme SuperSite credited at least one of the PM Magazine themes to Gari, but they had a bad habit of crediting anything upbeat and horn-driven to Gari...)

    I think part of the problem is that watching people just go about their everyday lives is...well, kinda boring.
  • Hrm. Maybe reduce the number of people participating and focus on their interactions without making it just seem confusing and overdramatic.
  • weighed in at 200 again

    glad to be not gaining any weight back at least?
  • kinda makes me want to take a loooong walk later tonight

    might do that actually, i don't have anything lined up...

    Whoa, I was just thinking the same thing.

    Well, maybe not a loooong walk, but a walk, at least, provided the weather's not horrible.

    Oh hey, Hardcore Gaming 101 got a redesign.
    Now instead of looking Web 1.0 they look Web 1.2
  • You should both walk to the exact halfway point between Ohio and Minnesota.

    How's that for a long walk

    Did you guys ever have to learn the "HOMES" mnemonic for the Great Lakes in elementary school, or is that just something they teach in the Great Lakes region?

    There are certain games people should play Yahtzee to not talk about, because he says the same thing every time there's a new one.
  • If I were to compare Yahtzee to anyone it would be Armond White.

    They both CLEARLY know a ton about what they're talking about but somewhere along the line something went wrong.

    Although Yahtzee seems like a much cooler person than White, and more reasonable.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Twitter Marxists like Armond White. They presumably have some theodicy for his love of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Chuck and Larry. How could anyone find that movie defensible...

  • the only thing I have to say about hg101 is that for all they jack off old platformers, they better do a 200 word indie on Shovel Knight, and it better be glowing.

    This has got to not be a good time for people who hate indie games.

    Icycalm has to wake up every morning in a cold sweat of raeg

    I should play The Outfoxies some time. It looks fun, and I'm interested on seeing the game that invented the Mascot Fighter genre

  • i have no idea who this person is
  • apart from them being a criminal apparently

    also maybe a former troper?
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I have a very vague recollection of someone called Kierkegaard causing problems on TVT; maybe Tachyon or Morven would know better than I would.

    he is just that, a petty criminal who gets angry at indie games.

    Except he's somehow internet famous, for reasons I have never been able to divine.

    It's better for the entire world that you don't learn anything more about him. He's a nobody with a ridiculously inflated sense of his own worth, and weird opinions on videogames.

    hm

    He was never on TvTropes, he was just talked about sometimes because of what a childish ass he is.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    and i don't see the sense in hating indie games

    indie isn't a genre or a developer so how can you hate them

    There was a TVT thread where someone linked to his website and we all laughed at choice bits from it. Of all people, Chagen eloquently summed up exactly why icycalm was such a sad figure. Eventually the thread was shut down for excessive negativity. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all—so that's what we did.

    He is a very afraid that production of indie games will make every game a crude parody of what he imagines an arthouse film to be and stop production of CAVE shooters.

    That makes no sense. It's not like being developed by a large company means it's True Art; indeed, people dislike EA in large part because their games are typically so "meh".

    It's kind of like saying they should cancel Sundance because Michael Bay will stop making Transformers movies otherwise.

    oh that's right, he was the one who started a row in OTC about anxiety being the dizziness of freedom
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    also was quite interested in the whole binding of Isaac thing

    He hates EA too, I think.

    Just not as much.

    It's aaaaaaalll Japanshit.

    I am reading an old TvTropes thread about Icycalm because nostalgia.

    I trolled an annoying person in this thread and got away with it.
  • also was quite interested in the whole binding of Isaac thing

    you should probably play The Binding of Isaac.

    "Mind you, this isn't always the case; Fallout: New Vegas had a slightly better story than Fallout 3, but 3's gameplay and graphics so clearly make it the better game to anyone with eyes, that it isn't even funny.

    Look, while New Vegas and the first two games might have had a very, very slight edge in the story department, Bethesda's commitment to gameplay(see how the word game is in the word gameplay) first are what makes Fallout 3 so much of a better game than anything that Black Isle ever slapped together."

    I was a pretty good troll back in the day.

    Oh man, Raso.

    That was one weird dude.
