Precious

[prog]

The new thing I say when a video game ceases to be fun, by making me do something I already did over and over, is: This is not treating my time and attention as precious.

Why, yes, I did just finally get to the Meat Circus stage in Psychonauts...!

While I'm here: any game recs I need to know about? Know ye that I really really want to play Dwarf Fortress, but ffs, I cannot get past the interface. I just can't do it. It's like trying to read a really smashing novel where all the text on every page is encoded as a stereogram. And covered in bees. I don't know.

What are you playing?

...That other bonus game is an early 1970s electromechanical game called Jive Time that is evil. I started out just being frustrated by it (while admiring its deceptively sunny Yellow Submarine-ish styling), but eventually came to a perverse appreciation of its random cruelty.

I hope they put out Stern and Bally collections. And more volumes of Williams and Gottleib and and and.

Littlewing has made available a language designed for pinball construction, but I think it's a little beyond my ambitions right now. http://code.google.com/p/ypsilon/
