	what's with chicks and video games?
	jeez
	what do you mean
	i never thought they'd come together
	girls generally don't like things that deal with spatial logic
	since video games are all about spatial logic.... well you can see the problem now
	that's why girls are more likely to enjoy a game like the sims. less spatial and more social stuff
	haha

Life in Korea as a professional gamer

Korean Micromanagement

Look at Pimpest Plays 2002. Number 2.

7 battlecruisers are locked down in a span of 1 second. This is not a typo. S-e-v-e-n in one second.

Pimpest Plays index

The 2005 edition has embedded videos.

Yes those are girls in the audience in the some of the movie clips.
Yes those are girls screaming in delight while watching starcraft.
Yes those are girls who actually understand what’s happening in the game.

Thus far, there are a total of 52 different controls and that’s not even counting the remaining controls that I haven’t listed.

Bicycle controls: 4
First person shooting controls: 10
Swimming: 8
Helicopter: 10
Plane: 12

In total, there are 96 different controls in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. To be fair, there are on-screen prompts for less frequently used controls (ie, gang passive/active mode). In addition, there were tutorial missions for the helicopter and plane sections.

With 96 controls, did I have trouble playing San Andreas? Nope. Aside from the moderately difficult plane training missions and model plane mission, I had no difficulties with the controls. But what about your girlfriend (imagination time LUGS ). What about your mom? Picking up a controller is intimidating enough for these people. Not everyone grew up playing the simpler games of yesteryear, so these people face a steeper learning curve.

This is why I like the Wii controller. It’ll lead to more intuitive controls (ie. in a tennis game, you swing the controller), which is good for newbies. And of course, the controller will lead to new gameplay possibilities, which is good for everyone.

Quotable

Near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the colonel starts messaging you and spouts off a lot of weird and funny shit. Of course, the game eventually explains why the colonel went crazy Spoiler (highlight to read): The “Colonel" is not an actual person, but an elaborate artificial intelligence constructed by the artificial intelligence system, controlling Arsenal Gear, and based on Raiden's perception of the real Col. Campbell.

"Raiden something happened to me last Thursday when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go -- I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky, to the east! It was moving very irregularly...suddenly there was intense light all around me -- and when I came to, I was home. What do you think happened to me?"

"Kawanishi-Noseguchi, Kinunobebashi, Takiyama, Uguisunomori, Tsuzumigataki, Tada, Hirano, Ichinotoriim Uneno, Yamashita, Sasabe, Kofudai, Tokiwadai, Myoukenguchi."

"Honestly, though, you have played the game for a long time. Don't you have anything else to do with your time?"

"An Anemone or Clematic Plant's juice can cause a rash. When pruning them it's a good idea to wear gloves."

"I hear it's amazing when the gamouse purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!"

"Actually, there is something I have been meaning to tell you but I just couldn't...I think you should know, though. On Saturday morning last week, I saw a guy leave Rosemary's room. How should I put it, it was like they were..."intimate". I'm sorry. Sorry to bring this up during the mission, but..." [note Rosemary is the protagonist’s girlfriend]

"Actually, I am in really bad shape financially. I pay money to my ex-wife as part of our divorce settlement, among other bills. I just had no choice but to make you pay for lunch the other day. I'm really sorry."

"I was a North American Fall Webworm in my past life. Those were the good old days...What were you in your former life?"

"Even my patience has its limits. I just can't leave this thing up to you any longer. I'll do the fighting! You can just go home!"

"I noticed this a while back, but you have far too many Game Overs. Sorry to be blunt, but you really stink at this game."

"You seem to get a real thrill out of slaughtering the enemy. Are you frustrated about something?"

"Snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys. Try to be careful and avoid getting into a fight whenever you can."

"You enjoy all the killing!"

"You wouldn't be trying to give yourself a bogus score by using some

ingenious trick would you? That's just about as low as anyone could possibly stoop! I can't believe you sometimes..."

(Note: If you get this quote, then all your weapons will be reloaded with full ammo when Snake gives them back to you)

"ZZ...zz..."

"That reminds me, I saw Gubayama the other day in Shibomnigee. He said to give you his best."

"Munch, Munch...Um? Raiden? I'm eating right now. Get back to me later.... Munch, munch..."

"La-li-lu-le-lo! La-li-lu-le-lo!! La-li-lu-le-lo!!!"

"I'm not home right now. Please leave a message after the beep. BEEP"

"Mind the gap."

"I can't believe the person who committed those sick acts in the women's bathroom made it this far."

"Snake, Like Shakespeare said, "Noughts had, all's spent, where our desire is got without content." Basiclly, it means your desire can get you into trouble if you're not careful. That goes for items too. Don't get greedy or you may be sorry. Be careful, Snake." -- Mei Ling, Metal Gear Solid (PSX)

"Weapon mode Socom Level 1. Destroy all targets to reach the goal! Number of targets: 3." -- Metal Gear Solid - The VR Missions (PSX)

"I say again. Your duty is to infiltrate Zanzibar Land and seize Kio Marf, an abducted Czechoslovakian biologist." -- Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX)

"Communitcator Entertainment Program Idea Spy 2.5 Episode 1. New York. Here in the city where dreams come true and desires rule, something is being brought, sold and thrown away, even as we speak. But behind the scenes of business as usual, the nefarious J.E. (Junker Expensive) Corporation lines its already bloated coffers with profits from worthless products. As j.E. swindles yet another innocent into purchasing high-priced junk, the FBI mobilizes a top secret task force to stop the menace. Now, the city's best kept secret spy is out there, briefed and ready to protect people from J.E., the catalouge of conspiracy... Just call him, 2.5." -- Snatcher (lotsa platforms)
