My Favorite Games Ever

Thomas Mannino — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:08:21 +0000

A thread on Otakubooty was asking what your favorite 10 games were, with 3 honorable mentions. You don’t really ask game designers what their favorite games are, just like you don’t ask film school kids what their favorite moves are. But if I had to start with some, I’d start with these.

Herzog Zwei
Shadowrun for the Genesis
Fallout
Bioforge
River City Ransom
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield 2142
Xenophobe
Half Life
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Bloody Roar
Portal
X-Com: UFO Defense
Mario Paint
SSX Tricky
Actraiser
Fantasy Zone
X-Wing
Dune 2
Command and Conquer
Sim City for Super Nintendo
Edit: MASTERS OF MAGIC!
Edit: Duke Nukem 3D

I’ll be adding to this as I can remember them, as well as possibly elaborating on why.

Ulli's Roy Orbison in Cling-film site

Thomas Mannino — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:03:23 +0000

Hello, and welcome to my homepage. My name is Ulrich Haarbürste and I like to write stories about Roy Orbison being wrapped up in cling-film. If you have written any stories about Roy being completely wrapped in clingfilm please send them to me and I may put them up on the site. If you have a site with stories about other pop stars being wrapped in cling-film mail me and we can exchange links.

One of my favorite classic internets.

The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Army of Two

Thomas Mannino — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:02:29 +0000

I have so, so much bromance for Yahtzee. I took a trip to his site today to see the latest Zero Punctuation, and I found his second most recent post defending his stance as to why he hates the webcomic Control-Alt-Delete.

I’m kind of torn, I don’t want to copy/paste the entire essay but he currently offers no way to directly link to ‘just the post’ in question.

I think I would hate it if someone did this to something I wrote, without giving me lots of credit, because people are stupid, so I won’t. I’ll just point you vaguely to it right now:

http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/ – specifically the post titled ‘23/3/08: You Cad‘

But read this fucking poetry:

You see, I have this theory that the internet is causing a general mediocritisation of human culture, because you can put pretty much any piece of work on the internet and no matter how hugely it sucks dolphin jizz you’ll find some dick who’s prepared to tell you it’s brilliant. This is the principle on which Deviantart appears to be founded.

OH MY GOD, IT’s SO TRUE. I’ve felt this exact thing for a very long time. My god. My take on it has always been more that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE will like what you make, if you put it online. This was the case eight years ago at least, I’d argue that it’s probably harder to find stuff online now, now that there is such a glut of content out there. Your stuff either needs to stand out or just simply be promoted effectively, but again, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE will like your stuff. No matter how obscure, secular, or just simply bad it is, someone will like or at the very least appreciate your work. If I were to redraw the entirety of the Star Wars movies using stick figures, the site would get thousands of hits.

But the cruellest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn’t. It gives them no incentive to improve or try new things, which a creative person must always strive to do. And it tends to foster the kind of monstrous egos the webcomic sphere grows like mushrooms in the shit-spattered dark. Tim Buckley of Ctrl-Alt-Del is notorious for having a zero tolerance for any criticism, constructive or otherwise, often deleting it unregarded from his forums, or declaring them invalid for half-baked reasons. It seems blanket praise has already done its damage to this fevered ego.

Again, just to be clear, I did not write this amazing poetry, I’m simply citing it and passing it along for you to understand how amazing Yahtzee is. The bolded part is the like first cardinal rule of ‘art school.’ When you go get formal art training, THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS SPEND A YEAR BEING CRITICIZED, but also learning how to critique other people. This skill is just as important as learning how to draw, because as Yahtzee so eloquently pointed out, YOU WILL NOT GROW AS AN ARTIST IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OR UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT GROWTH IS NEEDED.

He goes on to speak about how exactly to form comedy, explaining simple punchline examples, and showing exactly how CAD fails in regards to these seemingly simple elements. I can quote every passage and comment but I’ll let you go and read it yourself.

haha, I am just getting frustrated because I’m starting to see things materialize in front of me; mostly things that I feel very strongly about, and seeing other people elaborate and very eloquently ’say.’ I want to share this stuff with the world but I don’t know how.

Break My Stride – MATTHEW WILDER

Thomas Mannino — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:16:42 +0000

OMG BLOODBOWL!

Thomas Mannino — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:51:42 +0000

OOMG OMG OMG OMG!@!!

The game offers two game modes. The first, which is fully real time, offers a spectacular gameplay. Intense battles between blocking linemen and daring displays of agility of players leaping and dodging through opponents tackle zones, while powerful spells and dirty trick special plays are unleashed across the pitch; all this creates a highly charged atmosphere. Of course, since it is sometimes difficult to keep an eye on the entire field at once, the game’s interface offers different tactical and strategic setups, while the AI is responsible for managing the players on the field.

The second game mode, an actual turn-based game, is a treat for players of the original board game because it is an exact replica of Games Workshop’s tabletop masterpiece. The original rules have been faithfully reproduced, and it contains all of the devices, strategies, play and rhythm of the original game.

OH GOD THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I’m not a purist usually but the board game was so much fun. I played it so much with my one friend that we knew the rules like the backs of our hands and we could play a game really quickly. I’ve always liked boardgame adaptations of games, as closely as possible, because it just means you can play the game without consulting the rules. Nothing can ever replace the tactile enjoyment of moving pieces along a table but if it makes the game more appealing to play with other people then sign me up. The fact that we can play BOTH with this makes me feel like the blastoise kid plus a little N64 kid. Go find the youtubes yourself pls.
