To be honest I don't like Star Trek much at all, although the first two adventure games were pretty alright.Discoalucardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206257399887664488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-3857662788584151342011-09-18T14:26:11.718-07:002011-09-18T14:26:11.718-07:00Dunno if you listened to the last Retronauts Doc, ...Dunno if you listened to the last Retronauts Doc, but Chrontendo was mentioned.

Though this is a trend which is not present in popular writing, the use of shorter words is avantgarde. These long words are a pool of funny inside comments about the german language, they are used for laughs nowadays. So I just post some for exactly this matter...=)<br /><br />Schifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmütze<br />Kabellosnetzwerkauthentifizierungsproblemlösungen<br />VertragszertifikationsschnittstellenanschlussmöglichkeitenqaylIS aka Nicolas Deußerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943098766424527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-83179359799625076242011-09-13T22:54:56.229-07:002011-09-13T22:54:56.229-07:00"Though Videospielbücherkritik is a word whic..."Though Videospielbücherkritik is a word which is a bit too long for standard use in german..."<br /><br />Wait a sec! Don't the Germans love long words, like<br />Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften? I thought you could just keep adding on more components to create compound words that are theoretically infinite in length. Someone should write a novel in German that's just one super long word.Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-44759221519307857682011-09-13T14:22:06.171-07:002011-09-13T14:22:06.171-07:00I just like to correct the title, for I am german ...I just like to correct the title, for I am german by nature (not just by citizenship, also by character) and I think at least some one is interested in the correct german spelling (though you came close Doc):<br />Herr Professor Doktor von Glitzer präsentiert: Videospielbücherkritik<br /><br />Though Videospielbücherkritik is a word which is a bit too long for standard use in german, it would have been edited into a sentence: Kritik über Videospielbücher.<br />I hope the smartassery didn't bore anyone...qaylIS aka Nicolas Deußerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943098766424527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-28156807059405563382011-09-10T23:27:19.295-07:002011-09-10T23:27:19.295-07:00Maybe Armstrong is a fan of the Atlanta rap duo Yi...Maybe Armstrong is a fan of the Atlanta rap duo Ying Yang Twins? Has anyone checked him lately for dangerously high levels of crunkness? Protip: examine the teeth.<br /><br />As for "existential ennui," in my case, that's basically a code phrase for the pathetic whining of a member of a generation of spoiled brat Americans, whose main problems are too much spam in their inboxes and not knowing how to beat that one level of Angry Birds. As opposed to our fathers and grandfathers - whose main concerns were not dying of whooping cough at age 8 and getting shipped off to South East Asia the day after graduating high school. <br /><br />About the furry/yaoi/etc boards on Gamespite, I shouldn't have mentioned those. They are in the "invite-only" section of the forums, and are for "platinum members" only. You can only access them through a Tor onion router network, due to the "unusual" content. Let's forget I ever said anything about them.Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-35064064838389805572011-09-10T18:06:43.246-07:002011-09-10T18:06:43.246-07:00Gamespite Monthly/Quarterly really is some of the ...Gamespite Monthly/Quarterly really is some of the finest video game writing out there. Everyone who writes for it is extremely interested in sharing their interpretations and opinions on all facets of video games, and despite the name its not a tear down zine at all, its nothing but love for an art form. <br /><br />However!<br /><br />"Many of you will be familiar with Gamespite. The main site is filled with high-quality game writing and the forums are a haven for old-school video game/<b>furries/yaoi</b> fandom."<br /><br />I...what? There's a bunch of divergent interests of the people on the boards but the primary focus is video games and other nerd media, not of a sexual nature. Wii-mote not made out of real gold.

That adventure game book sounds excellent as well. I'm not quite as big a semantics stickler as you seem to be, so I think I'll really dig it.<br /><br />I must say, I find it heartening to hear that you too suffer from "existential ennui" - a phrase that some of my friends take umbrage with my using. I wouldn't, however, describe mine as an on-again, off-again case but more of a persistent, daily reality.
