AGS civilization is decadent. We need a strong militant leadership to revitalise by conquest.

My theory was based on irony and the (erroneous) belief that it would be recognised.

Since AGS games have no productive capacity at all (unless we give a reward for downloads) all Demand for shares, and hence laregely price, will be determined by speculative action.

So unfortunately, the price (unless we determine the price of shares, in which case we're neglecting the market thing) will form speculative bubbles, but because the games have no value, it won't pop. So a few prospective games, say PDA 2, will probably receive huge prices and go nowhere whilst others languish, and don't care, because the share price won't affect their operation.


But hey, all ideas are for debate

Also talke note that several of us are taking into account the impacts of games not as games but as interactive literature, and how that has it's more affective than other interactive material like choose your own adventures.

But perhaps that's because we're viewing Adventure Games as games whose gameplay is brought out of the story, so one cannot be before the other because they are one and the same.


But anyway, that's how I'd see innovation going, in the exploitation of the genre as a possible art form. As games, changes will be cosmetic unless they're just post modern genre blurrings, most of which have been attempted and can't be called innovation.
And in terms of attacking Adventures for not developing, what genre is developing, besides greater ploy counts. Most Genres seem to be like the internal combustion engine. Sure it looks prettier and runs better, but the intrinsic concept has been the same for decades.

If they can't innovate with the market forces we are told stimulate change and millions, how the hell can a student do it when he is serving only a small clique and personal interest.

The problem is, the poeple who can conceptualise the change rarely have the patience to carry it through.

Innovation is easy, which is why we talk about it so much, but implementing it is hard, especially when it's a genre like adventures that require so much work in plot and graphics before you even start the gameplay.

You'd think if Pat Rafter was so concerned about people's welfare he'd live here instead of the tax haven of the Bahamas. After all, he'd be redistributing money through welfare, medicare and the like..

Oh wait, he doesn't get his face on it.

Like many prophets, Greg Hurst blazed a trail for us.

If Rob Grant returns it bodes well.

The differences in quality between him and Doug Naylor are quite stark when you read and compare the seperate sequels they individually wrote to the two co-written books.

Someone forgot to tell him that no means no.

That's pretty cool.

This was in response to those who were bugging me, to bide your hunger until the release of aforementioned EP.

I think everything got hard to organinse after Craig Charles' conviction.

Some of you may be dissapointed to see I lost the dreadies, about a week ago. [and yes, that expression was intended to be that stupid and sleazy

So I offer the following.

Oi, the Footy Show is the best Australian TV on the commercial networks, followed by Boots and All.

I wouldn't worry about it looking too phallic. For the most part if they're no representative of a phallus they're representative of female genetalia.

No matter how many times I hear things like "bought a huge can of gunpowder from wallmart" it'll still crack me up.

But he didn't end up broke from lawsuits like Vanilla Ice

Cycling is big in Adelaide.

And we all know how exciting Adelaide is
