nice! Someone tell me if my quotes are bad or wrong (was quoted twice)... I fear having the last quote of the article... don't even know if it's good grammar, it's so confusing Razz

and it's strange being called only by my last name "May"... Confused

heh. but cool that NYT picked it up.

I've just noticed that this article from the ID Fuel website hasn't been linked to yet here. It's very interesting, and takes a different angle to others.

I haven't seen this posted here yet. I guess they're the UNLV's paper... and they haven't heard of Steve Peters yet?! Shocked

We get a passing mention in some article by a guy who thinks all video games are RPGs, Perplex City (despite its non-computer elements) is a video game, and we've been getting automated cell phone calls. Or like, calls at all. (Not that we won't or anything.)

So yeah, enjoy.

I kind of have to agree. I knew to post that article here because I remembered this thread, but really, it's a very OOG/meta sort of thing.

I often try to explain how I felt when I discovered ARGs, but, as expected, Adrian puts it best: "My initial reaction was the rejection, that sounded like a horrible blow of pub." Amen, brother.

Brilliant,

my personal favourites are:

"What allures you in these plays?" Well, I felt some strange stirrings in my insides for Sente when I thought he was a lady, but now he looks like my school Physics teacher (who we called Silver Fox) it's worn off a little.

and

"How was born your passion for these intrusive plays?"

simply brilliant
