OOOooOooOHNNNnnnNNNnnOooOoOOoOooOoooOOooOOOoOOooOoOOoOooOooOOOooOoOOoOoooOoOOOooooOOo! YOU GOT ME AGAIN!

Not. I put that error there deliberately just to see if you’d prove what a pedantic faggot you are, as no sane person really gives a shit about one extra letter in one word out of a hundred on a fucking blog comment on the internet.

Oh well. I made a special effort for you this time, so be thankful that I’m willing to cater to your inbility to stomach the vile concoction that is misspelled word.

I look forward to your illuminating reply in which you finally counter my argument about the first two videos being complete shit – that is, if you’re capable of logical thought beyond checking my spelling like a high school English teacher.

You fail.

It has nothing to to with killing stuff – it has to do with the hilarity of ruining some idiot’s $10,000 investment with nothing more than hoardes of cheap, useless craft. I could care less that they’re shooting shit and that there are explosions.

Indeed, the two other videos in what you call a ‘great post’ are about shooting, explosions, and flexing e-penises. The Goonswarm video shows a hilarious, and massive drama-pumping event that actually happened, not some shitty, orchestrated machinima (I hate that word, by the way) with some pretentious narrative about courage and honour to go along with the ‘splosions.

I never realised that alpha-male idiocy was ‘about spinning collaborative narratives’.

Also, I missed a letter in the word ‘tedious’. Deal with it.

REAL PEOPLE DON’T TALK LIKE THAT.

What a pre-teen (and misspelled) response to a great post. Go play a game and kill something, child.

I’m a narratologist through and through, and shooting stuff or stabbing it in games gets utterly tedious and boring very fast.

The post illustrates a BIG debate in academe about the value of virtual worlds for learning…lots of boring and tedious administrators and other wheezing geezers see VWs as just “games” that only ludologists would enjoy in a dorm room.

Gradually, and whether the goofy, drama-crazed children of SL like it or not, the academics are coming with their awful fashion-sense, bald-spots for hair they cannot fit, correct grammar and big words. Griefers will at least have some fun at their expense.

For the tweedy avis of academosphere, the promise of virtual worlds will be good simulation–for in-worlds games for just for the hell of narratology.

@ say what? Furry Narratologist? Pass.

No, what happened was the Goons managed to convince the guy in charge of Band of Brothers to drop the corporation and surrender all of their assets, which basically made BoB nonexistent and allowed the Goons to immediately move in and start seizing their territory. The remnants of BoB formed under one of BoB’s sub-corps, KenZoku, and tried desperately to defend what was left of their territory, but GoonSwarm easily obliterated them.

Though, Goonswarm has lost almost all of its original territory to Red Alliance. It’ll be interesting to see if Goons go after AAA or RA first.

The territory map is the link attached to my name.
