Awful ratio at Lost Wages Disco. Even worse than DC.

By the way, this is more like a G-Manifesto video game:

Are video games beta?

Post: #9

No but it is beta to care if they are beta.

That actually does look like a typical Tuesday.

Although there are usually more girls around.

And a few more guns.

Perhaps, but still, they're fun as fuck. Just finished Bioshock Infinite, brilliant game! As long as people stay away from the grindy time sink games like WOW, I don't see any difference to watching sports or movies etc...

WoW is definitely beta. On the other hand, Duke Nukem 3D is so alpha my testosterone levels and dick become 500% larger.

I liked playing both WoW and Duke Nukem 3D, so I'm some sort of mutant.

Like a manbearpig.

Weird thing about games like WoW or EVE is that the people in charge of the top-ranked guilds/corps are most often lawyers, doctors and board members of corporations in real life. They're high-powered betas, if not alphas.

Then you have the near criminal mastermind-level scams that take place on there netting hundreds of thousands of dollars in real world money after selling the fake game money on the internet.

One in particular involved a private bank setting up business on EVE Online, offering interest to members who invested. There was no protection or insurance. So one day everyone who had invested in that bank woke up with all their game funds gone. The bank had stolen billions of in-game money from everyone who invested in them and presumably sold it online for thousands of real world dollars. Players tried to get the company who develops EVE to step in and freeze the fraud bankers' accounts, but they have a strict Caveat Emptor policy regarding in-game businesses.

That's pretty hot.

I asked Roosh if he would be interested in having a video game made about him, but he didn't express any interest.

I remember reading about Leisure Suit Larry and taking a small interest in it. Thanks for a blast from the past!

Welcome to E(veryone) V(s) E(veryone) Online.



(ex EVE Player Vs Player Fleet Commander and Coalition-level "manager" - still playing when I have nothing else better to do).

And no, you won't find me there under the alias I use here.

I remember the PC version of LSL when I was like 6, there were "adult" questions it asked before letting you play!

Quote:The problem with these questions now is: they're only good at identifying someone over age 41 now!!

And yes, the O. J. Simpson question below was in the original game back in 1987, long before O. J. ever was indicted!

I recommend you use the Find function of your browser (usually that's Ctrl-F) and let it do the searching. There's a lot of words on this page!

I used to be a fiend for Leisure Suit Larry. Come to think of it, it may have influenced my life decisions as well. haha

Also liked Police Quest and Space Quest. Same company - less risque but they still injected some of their humor.

I found these old games free online a while back and got sucked into playing again.

Leisure Suit Larry was an old school PUA.

RIP adventures games. I remember playing Quest for Glory V (which had some RPG elements) back when I was in middle school.
