Quote from Jay Leno: "Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was given an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth today. I believe he's now known as The Duke of Nerds."

From MSNBC news: "The company's lead creative director, says he feels too many games have become dependent on violence for violence's sake and that has made violence, well, boring."

(The company is Running With Scissors, makers of Postal)

I've always thought a game with violence but no plot was boring. Then again, I find FPS games boring even if they have plot.

I like puzzle-solving games more than any others. I've never been interested in shooting/fighting games. (Though I do like Monty Python's Tetris, from their Holy Grail game )

Violence in games doesn't bother me per se. I just don't like guns. Partly because I'm a lousy shot. I liked the Zelda games, which have a nice mix of puzzle solving and hacking things to pieces.

Okay, this is weird. After making the previous post, I glanced at a bot chat in progress, and saw the following:

String D: Hi. My name is String D, do you like Videogames 'Bot #0001 Alpha?
'Bot #0001 Alpha: I have no complaints about Videogames.
String D: Well, maybe Videogames is more like the aqua kinda mood, do you agree with that 'Bot #0001 Alpha?
'Bot #0001 Alpha: Of course I do!

Yikes! I touched something near the task bar and this happened! Does anyone know how to correct this?

you have to click and drag to bottom "just so" to get it back there. Listed among the 'minor annoying pains in the ass' in windows ownership along with things like help files for a button which reads 'enable blah-blah' saying "Checking this enables blah-blah"

Ahhh, it worked. Thanks.

There are no coincidences, only undiscovered connections.
