Itsh a well known fact that men shlurr their worddds when they have of shtrong drink partaken………….

A man gets up one morning to find his wife in the kitchen cooking. He looks to see what she’s cooking, and sees one of his socks in frying pan.
“What are you doing?” he asks.

“I’m doing what you asked me to do last night when you came to bed very drunk,” she replied.

Completely puzzled, the man walks away thinking to himself, “I don’t remember asking her to cook my sock…”

Double Standards

If playing games is spending your life staring at colored lights and clicking a button, what about watching movies? You don t even click while watching movies. Is reading books spending your life staring at ink-printed paper doing nothing as well?

Only the select few who heed the higher calling play games, rid the evils, right the wrongs, or fight the aliens planning to invade. That’s why I often answer cynics asking me why I game with, “Who else, if not me?”

Tnje to the teaching of Descartes - “I game, therefore I am” - I rest my case.

What Would Gabriel Do?

In reviewer Jenn Frank makes the claim “…a throwaway supermarket-novel plot seemingly meant for a Gabriel Knight game…” in regard to Secret Files: Tunguska. Now, if I remember correctly the Gabriel Knight games were some of the most popular games during Sierra On-Line s heyday and for good reason. Even Gabriel Knight 3 had a deep, interesting plot, filled with detailed backstories, regardless of the horrible puzzles (cat pee helps in the creation of a fake moustache?) and awkward gameplay As a huge fan of the series, I would love to know what was going through Jenn Frank’s head when she was writing this.
