Warrior General Games

I was hoping Bort would come in and tell us exactly how the kick was missed, despite the graphic showing a made kick attempt and the player showing up as a Player of the Game. Best guess is off the cross bar. Worst guess (and lolobugsmod confirmation) is short...with 105 strength, 160whatever kicking, 15 in laces out (which adds strength) and the fact Kickers don't miss short from 55 ever starting from level 42 or some shit. Then you clowns came in here spouting dumb stuff off as facts so I had to make sure the masses weren't lead astray because I deeply care, almost as much as jdbollick. I was just trying to have a little fun I guess. But the problem is the definition of the word “Fun”. The definition given, that of an unidentified pattern or mechanic, should be for the word “interesting” instead. Remember, this doesn’t have to be visual pattern matching. Temporal, relational, and even conceptual patterns are all included in the definition. Yes, I know the academic guy defined it this way, but he was wrong too. Campster accepted the definition of “fun = interesting” and then went on to argue that many of these very interesting games are not necessarily fun. Really the word “fun” should be defined as “enjoyable”, in which case all of his arguments hold. This is the sense in which people use the term, and it is indeed as un-helpful as Campster describes. All of the mentioned games that are “not fun” have pattern matching involved. They are all interesting. Creative expression is pattern matching (internal patterns to external patterns). Zoning out is pattern matching (testing your instinctive or subconcious ability to match patterns). Being scared stupid is evidence that you don’t have confidence in your full grasp of the pattern (otherwise, it wouldn’t be scary). Things that are interesting both have a pattern (or they are just random) and one are complex enough to defy easy prediction. So, define “Fun” as “enjoyable” and we’re all good. However, the pattern matching aspect is completely present in all interesting games. Educational, story, creative, expressive, and puzzle especially.

Was also short

MOTHER died today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure. The telegram from the Home says: YOUR MOTHER PASSED AWAY. FUNERAL TOMORROW. DEEP SYMPATHY. Which leaves the matter doubtful; it could have been yesterday.

The Home for Aged Persons is at Marengo, some fifty miles from Algiers. With the two o’clock bus I should get there well before nightfall. Then I can spend the night there, keeping the usual vigil beside the body, and be back here by tomorrow evening. I have fixed up with my employer for two days’ leave; obviously, under the circumstances, he couldn’t refuse. Still, I had an idea he looked annoyed, and I said, without thinking: “Sorry, sir, but it’s not my fault, you know.”

Afterwards it struck me I needn’t have said that. I had no reason to excuse myself; it was up to him to express his sympathy and so forth. Probably he will do so the day after tomorrow, when he sees me in black. For the present, it’s almost as if Mother weren’t really dead. The funeral will bring it home to me, put an official seal on it, so to speak. ...

it was a DS team, so it could of been collusion..

Perhaps Bort & Co could implement into the replay the ball bouncing off the upright/crossbar or something. Just have it hit the post/crossbar and bounce backwards.

Hey, we've seen the dots running backwards, so why not?

Tijuana Toe Tap:

Definition, Clean Version - "The TJ toe tap is a form of Mexican torture where a prisoner of war is detained and force-fed Habanero peppers and carne asada puree out of a blender for 5 straight hours. He has a gun held to his head with a torturer stating "I'll blow your brains out if you release one ounce of crap on my floor!!!" The kicker to this torture is the actual "toe tap". They now bring in a torture trainee with the sweatiest feet and have him take off his boots and socks and proceed to tap the prisoners anus lightly with his sweaty big toe making it that much more impossible to hold it in."

and now you can say you learned something today children

sure, blame the kicker
