Designers listen to their characters

#1 Gonna Revive this topic because I feel it is important. (C:

#2 Well, they got a point. We all want to design games, we all want to play games, but if you ask me - do I want to LIVE in games, answer will definetly be "No, for Christ sakes!"

#3 Depends on the game and my qualities in them... I would love to live in an RPG like Morrowind and be a powerfull sorcerer... :)

#4 Well are we just told what to do, by some little sick kid who thinks the way I get my head blown off is on a funny angle?

#5 What is the Matrix? :)

#6 Every time I show an Onion article that cracks me up to freinds and family, the reaction is always "ho-hum". Makes me wonder if my sense of humor sucks or theirs....nah, it's gotta be theirs.

#7 Don't worry Jeremy, I agree that the article (and almost all Onion articles for that matter) are hillarious. I have found that some people don't realize that they are purely meant to be jokes, so they try to project them into the real world or use them as a metaphor. Anyway great article, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

#8 If I changed the life of just one person...it was all worth it. I didn't...by any chance....change your life...did I?

#9 Oh man. I came across this article recently:

Man! We gotta start thinking about the characters and making their existence more enjoyable. It shouldn't JUST be about the gamers...should it?

#10 Well, Jeremy, the article you pointed out first really changed my life... I will think better of my characters now... ;)

Going to check out the second link...
