Another one of the conversations between myself and the WiiFit, transcribed for your enjoyment.
The Gameplay is the Story
Some advice to game developers on how to stop ruining good stories with bad cutscenes.
Grand Theft Railroad
Grand Theft Auto is a lousy, cheating jerk of a game.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
Object-Oriented Debate
There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
I have to admit, I lol’d at that, especially the punchline, which (apparently) is the point of said punchline. :)
Hee! I love these pieces of yours, but I have to admit I’d still like to get a WiiFit. ;D
Angie
Oddly: every time you write about the WiiFit, I think “I should get one of those…”
I got one.. Now I’m a Ski Jumping Professional.. I’m in the “normal” range.. so it’s not quite so bad.. my wife gets the “over weight” treatment.. and her Wii (Avatar) swells up after her “Body Test” (weigh in)..
I say, get it.. really.. my kids from 3yo .. to me.. at 43.9 years old (but sometimes a Wii age of under 30!) all love it.
And Shamus’ comics are dead on.. which makes the thing even better.
I do wish the redundant clicking was taken out of it.. once you’ve been trained what the things mean it gets old to be told again and again… and yes, Wii, I know I can use you to weigh other things.. quit telling me how to do it!
Anyone else having flashbacks?
“Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?”
*rolling so much* My family owns Wii Fit, and yes, the Wii Balance Board is a pesky, annoying little creature. Like Dave said, this stuff fits. No pun intended. ;)
