Has anyone here done Crowdgaming? I've been in one audience (POTC3?) where it was played. Weird as HELL.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope I am taping it.
Luckily, you will have many many chances to tape it, if you didn't get it last night. Or later tonight.

I am looking forward to this! I hope I am taping it. PAAAAT!
I giggled when I read the Entertainment Weekly "Must Watch" write-up on the first episode, which addressed the amusing sight of the oh-so-dry-witted host being forced to read rap lyrics. Almost as much fun as seeing the Giant Head of Ted Koppel say, "Koppel hungry!" on the Daily Show.

Oh god, that was the funniest thing last year. And Pat's the guy who tells us about the morning papers every day!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. I read about that about 12 years ago. Of course, it wasn't called that then. Researchers would run it during lectures - they'd give everyone, say, a red paddle and a blue one. Students would raise the red paddle to, say, move the controller up in a game of Pong, and blue to move it down. The software would average the colors to determine the movement.
I've always wanted to be a part of that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jesse, you and I would kick ass on a pop culture trivia team, I think.

Hell yeah, Dana. We could put together an unbeatable team of buffistas, for SURE. Next year!

When in a crowd full of people I suspect I'm about to hate (read: at any point in my life) I get resentful of them having more control than I do.
Someone just set off a cap in the next cube over. The cube's resident is rightly pissed, since it was in her ear.
Me?
I have a headache.
I'm currently fascinated by Arduino. Not sure yet if I'm fascinated enough to spend money, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yanno the gaming reminds me of a story Bob told me this weekend after we went to the movies. His friend was at GenCon in the early 1990s, playing some sort of special RPG. They didn't really know what they were supposed to be doing overall, they just had some defined tasks in a small space, like a building. But one person kept messing them up, and keeping them from completing their tasks. They eventually realized that they were the bad guys in Die Hard, and that one person was John McClane. I thought that was cool.

I have an Arduino controller board. I used it to control servos. It was pretty cheap. (About $35?)
It's fun to play with. A tiny computer that you can program in a limited fashion, and it has numerous analog and digital inputs and outputs so it can be used in all sorts of experiments.
