It is fun, which is why I said it was better in terms of gameplay. I don't understand why that would make you simple-minded? I hope I haven't given the impression that I think exploring a game environment is an intellectual pastime. >It is possible to create complex imaginary worlds in literature (see Tolkien, among others)
Oh, yes, I certainly won't deny that that's possible. That's something that particularly interests me about literature, actually, the way different authors construct different realities. The approach taken to worldbuilding can drastically change the feel of a story (fantasy or otherwise).
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
^^No, I just tend to assume a lot of you (including you) are smarter than me.
And now I'm thinking of the times when I'd go into Sonic 3 & Knuckles's pinball bonus stage and use debug mode to hang out indefinitely (you can get the barrier that traps you and kicks you out of the stage to bypass you) and knock Tails into the bottomless pit in the stage.
Also debug mode is bad at exploring the slot machine/Sonic 1 Special Stage throwback bonus stage, because I think the player character stays curled up as a ball no matter what and, IIRC, there's wayward "GOAL" balls (like in Sonic 1's Special Stages, they kick you out of this bonus stage).
It's unlikely that anyone but me will care about this, but Game is making fun of fellow rapper Hopsin on Facebook, and it is the best thing to me, because I hate Hopsin.
I don't think I'm smarter than you, Anonus. I certainly know less about video games.
Debug modes kind of give me the creeps a bit, because they're places that aren't really there and aren't really places. Like that glitch in some games where you fall through the floor and out of the game environment into nothingness, that's also creepy in the same way.

I immediately thought of how in the GameCube version of Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut in Sonic's version of Icecap there is a loop that Sonic will fall through and die if you don't keep moving.
I keep wondering if the "No!" he says if you fall in a bottomless pit was either Ryan Drummond or his Japanese voice actor, it doesn't sound quite like Drummond.

It's odd to me that you don't seem to think of yourself as very smart, AU, when you have this HUGE cache of knowledge about things most people don't even pay attention to.
Yume Nikki is magnificent and the reason I like it is that it tells a story by letting you explore its world and without a single word of dialogue. :] Also its world is fascinating and complex and full of secrets.
>"linear" has become almost a curse word in the western gaming scene at the moment
Ah, sorry, I didn't know this, probably because I have nothing whatsoever to do with the current Western gaming scene. I meant to use that word neutrally.
And yeah, frankly, your memory and powers of observation for things often overlooked impresses me, Anonus.
Several pounds of cheese make up the center of the earth, but this cheese cannot be eaten by mortal lips, for if it is, Zeus will command the armies of saint Joseph in a holy war against the pantheon of cheese.
starting with that lesser goddess known as Cheesy Choe.

...It's strange, I've had this laptop for almost 3 years, and the extent of my files on it (aside from installed programs) can fit on 4 DVDs.
I was just playing the Flash demo of Plants vs. Zombies, and damn, is that game addictive. :P
And yeah, I've been busy all day, I had to watch my niece briefly, my car is broken down, and it seems Ally is busy too since she was able to answer all of one of my messages so far. Shaping up to be a great weekend! :P
Oh well, at least I have homemade chicken enchiladas. Those are always a good thing. :D

Oh god, the horn of the neighbor's car just started going continuously.
Mother and I (and someone from down the street) went over to check, but the car's owner didn't answer the door (how could he hear us knocking, really) so we just had to wait it out...it seems to have died.
What I don't get is the fact that, after it was discovered that there was a troll in the dungeon, Dumbledor told everyone to go back to the dormitories (or whatever they're called at Horgwarts, I forgot)...But the Slytherin dormitory is in the dungeon. :/
But they'd still have to go through the dungeons on the way to the common rooms, so although they'd be safe in it, they wouldn't be safe on the way there. Even though the troll wasn't actually in the dungeon, it was IN THE BATHROOM *ding* (lolmeme), they didn't really know that until they got there.
Also, I read somewhere that the first Harry Potter book was released in 1997, and it took place in 1990. So the seventh book would of taken place in the same year the first came out, so the phrase "I open at the close" is leaning on the forth wall, or at least some form of meta-humor.

You know what ended up being in the Helvault? Awesome things.

You should get Yume 2kki and .flow too.

*Receives Princess Text Message* Yay! So, what can I do with these?

I will tell my people to say a prayer this evening.
