I’ve been tagged by every single one of you fuckers, except Kevin, but I've seriously thought about dropping out twice now. That counts, right? My 5 Guilty Pleasures
( Read more... )
I just got admitted to OU for law school, and Carrie suggested that I talk to you. If you have time to talk, let me know. I could definitely use some advice from an older law student, particularly one attending OU.
I do remember you. Congratulations on admittance. Sure, I'll be willing to talk to you. Hit me up on AIM if you want, name Mahurjin. Or email me at joshbex@gmail.com with any specific questions. I'll probably be of more help to you when you get your schedule and I can tell what I know about certain professors and whatnot.
When you cheat in videogames, you get the instant gratification, but you end up bored quicker. It's like, "Well great, now I've seen all there is to see here."
I think any good game should produce at least some frustration. There's something to the feeling of not being able to do something, and then through practice, becoming able to do it.
The only cheat I would use in a game (which never, ever exists) would be the cheat to let me skip tutorials. I HATE it when a game forces me to sit through a tutorial every time I start a new game.
Unless reading FAQs for point and click adventures when I get stuck is cheating. Then I cheat that way, too... (so I have to take the broken golf ball retriever, put the severed hand on the end, and then put the refrigerator in the hand, and then stick it into the giant ball of twine so I can find some mood ring? huh?)
I knew this comment was coming from you. I agree with this in theory, but as I said - I don't always have the time to practice and get better to overcome something, and sometimes I don't have the inclination. At one point in my life, I didn't really ever cheat until I'd beaten the game. Now, I say fuck if because I usually don't retread the same ground in a game and move on to something else - so I don't get bored with it. It also depends on the game. I don't get any satisfaction out of cheating in fighting games. Some games you want the challenge in. One set of games I never feel guilty about cheating in is RPGs, because I play for the story and puzzles/quests, not for the endless fighting repetitive battles for experience.

If I'm playing a game where I'm inclined to cheat, then the game probably wasn't very good to begin with, was it?
I don't seem to ever remember you doing a lot of cheating in Starcraft, huh?
