I said I was holding something for when things got slow. My memory was triggered by the Slamdance 2007 controversy regarding "Super Columbine Massacre RPG."...
Heh, not a big appetite for troublemaking here! :-) No matter. The meta-point is that if you want to be subversive, pick a subject where people don't think...
... Looks like Animal Planet's "Meerkat Manor" has more to say about general accessibility. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meerkat_Manor I finally turned on an...
Woops. Read the message but forgot to respond. I find this idea to be intriguing. Although I do think that most people could not stand to have their religion...
... I think the problem with organized religion is that on average, it selects for people who aren't into critical thinking. Liturgical ritual is the primary...
[snip] ... This could be said, in general, of the society and culture we live in today (the American culture). Its all about whatever their friends think or...
... The first time I saw a WWJCD spelled out, it was What Would Jackie Chan Do? This got me thinking about the story where Jesus threw the money lenders out...
... Now there's a game. Deal with Jesus' life as a matter of Grand Strategy, rather than the tactics at crucifixion time that form the backbone of what most...
I did a stint on the newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.war-historical recently. I was looking for new crowds after my debacle at forums.indiegamer.com. At...
... Exactly. When I debate, I don't care who my adversary is so much as who comprises the audience. If the audience isn't minimally scientifically trained -...
"Persuasive Games: Casual As In Sex, Not Casual As In Friday" http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/1937/persuasive_games_casual_as_in_.php Interesting concept...
... Imagine any graph where arcs between graphs are directed and have labels, preferably where some (many?) of the labels are repeated on different arcs....
... I would say they do not. Rather, they provide a way to move from one adjacent context to another. Although perhaps the regexes I've been working with are...
... I just saw "Jesus Christ Superstar." It's subversive... the most subversive thing about it, I think, is it ascribes different motives to the principal...
I've been contemplating simulationist approaches to Civ-like games. Let all the little creeps in the world colonize and slaughter each other, as rapidly as I...
... Just zooming a lot isn't practical if you have lots of data. You lose the big picture. One pixel covers an area. Things in that area have various...
... I don't think differentiating the stuff on the display would be that hard. Maps, after all, can be tiled with 4 colors, I think. I thought about using...
It also depends somewhat on the scale of units to terrain to climate. If the smallest unit is a pixel in size, how many pixels make up the smallest area of...
... I was thinking the smallest terrain unit is also 1 pixel. So it's about masses of units obscuring continental features... and also how boring the world...
I'm mostly a console gamer (though not exclusively so) and there has been an issue bothering me for years now. Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one...
... Yeah! And you know what, I don't. I don't buy anything. I don't play anything. I even kicked my Freeciv habit recently. Uuuh, I've picked up a Wesnoth...
... You're just talking about the Western (American?) game industry here. In Japan, the best-selling "game" genre on the PC is the visual novel. No real...
... I got pissed with Wesnoth when they throw that insolent princess at you that you can't kill because she has blue eyes and golden flowing hair. Bleh! :) ......
... I don't see that working. If the story is not part of the game and the game is not part of the story then you have a disjoint between the game and the...

Hi I'm new but I'll introduce myself in a bit. I just had to respond to this question. I often wonder just who debate is designed to sway. I mean I suppose ...
I wanna design casual games. I play em all the time. I've even played some of the short run topical news games (Lindsay Lohan drunk driving game was fun). I...
