MyFight - no, I mean his fight

Posted in Game design, Personal at 19:42 by Jonas

Sooo… I noticed my fellow Film and Media student and Game Studies Zealot Rasmus has set up a blog on a new domain of his, to rave reviews from largely fictional (and yet hilarious) journalists. I know most of you who actually read this aren’t really here because you care how I feel about game theory. I assume you visit this blog for one (or two) of three reasons:

  1. You hope I’ll drop some nuggets about TNM.
  2. You’re on my MSN contact list, and are afraid that any moment now, I may drop a pop-quiz on you about something I’ve written here, so you feel you better be prepared just in case.
  3. You’re a burglar who found the posts I’ve written about my computer, and you hope to glean some tips for how and when to best break into my house and steal all my hardware while I’m away.

If it’s #3, just give up right now, you’ll never get past my cats. Otherwise, you may want to check Rasmus’ site out anyway, he’s at least as interested in game studies as I am, and he has a year and a half of psychology behind him to spice it up with. You never know what gems he might drop on that blog.

If nothing else, now I’ve linked to his blog, so he can’t claim I didn’t do him that favour ;)

    Let me see if i understand this right - are you claiming that the reviews of my site are fictional?!

    Oh jealousy is such an ugly thing…. Perhaps one day journalists will swarm your blog like they do mine…..

    Fictional reviews… How brilliant is that?! Seriously, you could make up games and they never have to come out, the can be in perpetual production …. wait a minute …. So you’ve keeping us all posted with some fake news, and having random conversations with yourself on other accounts on the OTP forums?

    The best scam in the history of video gaming ;)

    Hey, I assure you all those inordinately positive reviews from PC Gamer, Edge Magazine, and the New York Times are all real!
