I started Ullyses once, because my English teacher said it would be 'up my street'...
I think I made it less than a fifth of the way through.

The only people I know who read Ullyses cover to cover are English teachers. I tried to get through it, and had my ass kicked soundly by Joyce. Holy crap was that book impenetrable.

I know one teacher who read all ten books in L. Ron Hubbard's bitter and angry sci-fi epic Mission Earth series just to see if he was man enough to do it. Watching him battle those books to the death* was almost Lovecraftian.

What the hell was this thread about again?

* Apparently, that series was so arduous, Hubbard died just after finishing it. Lovecraftian, indeed!

Holy cow! My English teacher also read it!

My humble twittery abode.

In which I rant irreverence, talk shop about atheism and net neutrality, and shamelessly pimp out my assorted AGS/Knightmare/Voiceovering projects.

Talking of Joyce, I bought 'Dubliners' in Oxfam yesterday. Should be a bit more manageable

As of Twitter... I've all but stopped logging on... I've taken to following random RSS feeds now, instead.

I broke down and started one a while ago.

Follow at your own risk.

I read about Twitter every day, but I don't understand why everyone uses it. I think is a text messanger for the bored. Why not do something productive.

veryweirdguy · Tue 22/12/2009 14:03:06

The people who dismiss Twitter most are the ones who have never used it and do not understand it. It's a communication tool, just different from what people are used to.

I use it a lot, and like it! It's done a lot of good for me (from gaining some readers for my webcomic to winning me a PS3!)

blueskirt · Tue 22/12/2009 16:30:45

I've never been into any of those fancy web 2.0 communication tools, I'm pretty old school and still using IRC. I think I hate Twitter the most since I now have to go through 10+ pages of insignificant updates every weeks just to find that one important news for every websites I follow that now prefer to post their news on Twitter rather than their main website. At least Myspace and Facebook didn't have this problem.

I don't get twitter - not a single bit - but please, convert me. I see AGSers twitters here but um - mostly "woke up, took a dump, fed cat" content...

Show me something really great!

...unless Twitter is what it seems to be from where I stand -- digitized way to be a groupie or a stalker.

and Grundislav, "Just released Ben Jordan: Case 8!" is ONLY acceptable tweet from you

"With great power comes great responsibility". That is, with power to make awesome games comes need to release them

amirite?

I'm sure someone's said this already but Twitter is for networking online. Simple as that.

Somebody told me people need to know who you are (via Twitter) in order to justify your existence.

Yes, you need a twitter in order to be mutually acknowledged in some areas of the world.

InCreator · Wed 10/02/2010 15:03:09

Ugh JBurger, your twitter looks like prime example of broken, encrypted dialogue. Like muting one of the characters in a tv-show

charater A: "Please express your opinion about matter at hand"
character B: ...
character A: "Yes, this is an excellent point and quite fascinating story you just told! How did you manage to escape?"
character B: ...

I still do not understand how reading something you said to someone about something (if I got this right) we have no knowledge about would be worth reading or showing... or following.

It's a mess, a mess I say!

That's THE POINT!!!

Igor Hardy · Wed 10/02/2010 18:24:20

You can only see a person's message to someone else if you follow both. So there are no cases of incomplete dialogs.

Haddas · Wed 10/02/2010 20:17:42

I actually like Twitter. It let's me twitter.

sorry for digging this, but it was either that or creating another Twitter topic.
