@reallyfancy It is on. Or at least, I booked the pub, and will be there. Possibly alone. On my birthday. :(

@severalbees We totally have "dobbing", "lollies" and "fritz" over here.

The sun is shining, and I have the afternoon off.

@DarkAcreJack @S0phieH was that XNA's fault, though? Or theirs for not having a good strategy for making money?
-
@RubZo coincidentally, those are also your hobbies in real life.

@CphGC :D Killer jamz indeed. (Didn't know Bibio before, but I suspect I'll be listening all today)
-
@therussmorris as per @CphGC - Bibio. Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DxHLUtBw0M
-
@CphGC I'd love to play it, yeah. And I suspect a few others will, too... @severalbees @hidingseeking ?
-
@S0phieH but that applies to any closed platform. From that, they're better off with XNA than they would be making iOS games...

@radiodario I lost my copy! I went to lend it to someone and could not find it... :C

@radiodario but i have like 12 things in my basket that are a tenner on amazon, so actually buying things from there will cost me loads

@radiodario (including Tufte books)
-
@S0phieH they do it less, but have a rep as being capricious. Rare for MS to give a flat rejection, no compromise possible.
-
@S0phieH But ultimately, the bad call was pouring money at it for a year after that rejection.

@radiodario yep - for "Limitless"

@ijmad yeah

@S0phieH eh, their business isn't to advance games, it's to maximize shareholder returns. (yes, I know you don't like that either)

@psychicteeth the game was neat. but yeah, it's getting like dickwolves in here.
-
@psychicteeth who was it yesterday on the twitters, saying how important backstory and context were for games to be meaningful?
-
@NotThatLaura @simonv3 that's totally true.

@reallyfancy @edclef and "flase"

@awesommelier hey, neat! I had the PDF version, but it had severe problems being rendered. how come you're sending me train stuff, anyway?

Weeks of failing to find my copy of "Javascript: Good Parts" over. Was on my bookshelf all along. Too slim a volume to notice, is the joke.

@KommanderKlobb what about failing repeatedly to scoop it with a fork?

@tomscott me too! I shall see you there, mayhaps.

@HilariousCow things you do to be playing a game are the most important things in a game. With QTEs they are literally just pushing buttons.

@docky @HilariousCow Though notice WarioWare was often QTEs, but is still an bloody fantastic game.

@docky @HilariousCow is the complaint that they don't fit then? i thought it was that they were shit, as a game.
