Not GILTy

[robotnik2004]

Hey, what happened to all the game idea posts? There was a lovely harvest of them early this week and then nothing. Is it because arctic weather snapped back into effect?

There ought to be a name for that last blast of winter that comes after a week or so of premature warmth, just when you start to let yourself think that spring has arrived. It's like Indian Summer's evil twin. I've heard people call the sneaky warm period "Strawberry Spring", but I don't know if that's real or just from a Steven King story. I was thinking something more like "Fuck You Winter".

Yeah, you're probably going to say, where are my game idea posts? Good point, but I did just put up 1300 words on Superman, sex pulps, and the secret history of weightlifting. That ain't knockwurst! I do have a few new GILT ideas, or reworked old ones, but they don't seem to come as fastly and furiously when you're living in gamer exile. Actually, there was a period, about two months after leaving Boston, when I felt like I was generating scores of beautiful mad ideas a day. I think I was sweating them out of my system or something. But now, not so much. Maybe I need more structure to bounce things off of. If I started up something like bryant's old weekly idea mash-ups, would people play along?

You can always stroll down memory lane with my de.icio.us/robotnik/gilt tag. All of my old LJ games-I'd-like-to are there, and a number of yours, although I know I'm missing some goodies.

I don't want strippers, or paintball, or drum circles, or Vegas (hmm, maybe Vegas!) or any of those other traditional manly things for my bachelor party. If it's going to be me and my friends getting together to do stuff before I get married, I want it to be gaming. Although the connotation might be, "Better do this now, beforehand, because you'll never get to do it again." And that would be bad and untrue. :)

And girls would be invited, right? I mean, as long as you're breaking bachelor party rules, you may as well have girls along.

Oh hell yes. But you have to dress as a boy. ;)

Screw that! I'm dressing as girly as I wanna! Like I said, if we're breaking rules, we're breaking 'em BIG! Your lady love should ALSO be invited to the party, and we can be as girly as we want!

So, this has turned from being a special event to just the same-old, huh?

I was going to type out the sound effect, but it's just now working. Either way, nicely done. ;)
