If I ever managed to finish a print and play set I was always planning on making a little video game version of it for people to try before they go to the effort of cutting out hundreds of little cards and stuff.

Let's make traditional game video games.

I didn't come last. Phenomenal.

Settlers of Catan

I'm pretty sick of Catan myself, but I don't think you're giving it enough credit, and you're missing the human interaction element that comes with bluffing and manipulating people through trading: there's no way you're gonna explore every strategy in only ten games.

May I ask, did you play those 50 games face-to-face or on BSW?

i'd rather just have people get slightly annoyed with the game than go back and revise every single script file i've written so far.

no you wouldn't.

I used to like 4 square and handball, but I haven't played them for ages.

I couldn't walk yesterday thanks to being a show-off while teaching some neighbourhood kids to play four-square.

Battle Network 3 was okay, despite the problems with the way its story is presented, at least until a certain point. I think I stopped playing in a castle, or something?
I'm kinda the same with Oblivion; I was having fun until I got distracted and stopped playing, which was just before the point where peasants start walking around with full glass gear. I did the same thing with Morrowind even though afaik Morrowind doesn't have an advancing wall of shit like Oblivion, so I still want to resume that save file one day.

But what I was gonna say was the Gamecube version (I dunno about the others) of Turok Evolution. It's a piece of shit. I don't think they tested it at all. I might even have bitched about it here before. But for some reason I enjoyed the bug-induced difficulty, it's kind of a nostalgic feeling and it's the first game to make me toss a controller since my NES.

When we got our first cat, my sister got to name it, and I was promised that I could name the next family pet. As usual I was the only one to remember, so this one is called Lil. Which is a stupid name for a cat and she doesn't answer to it.

I'd like to see a feline help you win a pinewood derby race

I would also like to see that, because that would probably be awesome.

Me likey. One thing bothered me a bit, though. The fact that you have little "waits" like dialog or something after savepoint meaning each time one fails and has to redo some jumping thing one needs to skim through some dialog. I don't know if text is skippable, if not, please please make it be.

text is skippable in so far that you can press both buttons at the same time to dump out the rest of the text, ignoring any pauses. the pauses in between text boxes can't be skipped, however, as some of them are critical for cutscenes.

And some of them are just annoying, maybe you could support a distinction between the two.

I wouldn't know which one to choose.

I think I'm gonna start spelling it schmup.

I made a few in high school, first for a class exercise and then for every assignment after that whenever I could convince my teachers to accept it. Mostly colourful strategy games, plus one Waterloo war game for history class (took days to make all the tiny little horsies).

In uni we made and played a lot of 1000 Blank White Cards and Nomic-type stuff. My favourite deck was called Alien vs Predator vs Johnny 5, in which you have a team of three characters who can each use different item and ability cards to attack other players' characters provided they're still 'alive'. I've been meaning to scan it for years.
I designed a complex evolution-themed strategy board game there too, but never finished cutting out all the little bits. One day.

Recently I made a couple of games for teaching English to little kids.
One's a super cool dungeon crawling game where players explore a dungeon which is generated by drawing different corridors from a stack and laying them on the floor. Some rooms are special and may contain traps and/or some dungeon feature or a random amount of loot (letter cards or useful magic items) and might be guarded by a monster which must be defeated by spelling, scrabble-style using your letter cards, an English word at least as long as the monster's name. Basically I slapped Sorcerer's Cave and Dungeon Scroll together and took credit.
The other's a tense luck-pushing game about pearl diving (because all I had for counters were white go stones) with a fun competitive Scattergoriesish element that lets kids fuck with each other.
Unfortunately my bitch ex-housemate kept them both for her babysitting business when I moved. I'd go get them, but I figure at least with her some kids'll get to enjoy them.

Somewhere around here I've got a half-finished game about gods (players) screwing with a developing civilization for fun. Thanks for reminding me. It has a neat mechanic which might even be original.

Now his rod is broken.

I was reading about this recently. I would wish it upon no man.

No need to be graphic about it. Innuendo can be just as effective.

I have a feeling the voting in this compo will be skewed in favour of things you can jack it to.

If you haven't already checked it out, there's a pretty low-rent hentai flash called simbrothel (and I think there's a sb2 in development, so I guess it's fairly popular) which does the management side of things decently. At least as far as I could tell before it shat itself. The interface sucks and the adult element isn't incorporated very imaginatively though. Plus it's just a bunch of ancient cuntpasted Ranma hentai.

I'm gonna generally assume that they have a reason for doing shit.

I think there might be one other guy.

Yesterday the host of some video stream called Plok a Rayman ripoff.

Diphthong.

I forgot the word onion once. Onion. Onion.

If you don't press down the text on signs won't kill your dog.

I mean the regular wiki. The one that should be a lot more prominent on the site if they want people to use it.
