OTFPOTD: September 11th, 2008 Edition (Now with more calcium)

PrintI'm back at the office today. It's early. I'm tired. I hate you all.
In the news today:
A pair of powerful earthquakes shake Indonesia and Japan.
Parts of Houston being evacuated ahead of Hurricane Ike.
Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the Earth yet? Hm... No.
But like I said a few days ago, if it does open a gateway into some terrible alternate dimension, we can call this guy:
via api.ning.com
Uwe Boll bitches about the movie industry, still has no plan to make his own shitty movies better.
Today's potential discussion topics:
- Who should be assigned to Robert's suicide watch today?
- What are the origins of Robert's relationship with sharp objects?
- The Mac vs. PC advertising campaign: are acblue and I the only ones that think it doesn't work?
- Your favorite PC game created before 1999?
- Do you still own an NES? Your SNES?
- How should I stalk Matthew today?
- Other than Uwe Boll, who is the worst film director/producer in the entertainment industry?
- Best film director/producer?
There you go. Tags will be added shortly.
Edit: One warning. Yes, today is 9/11. Discuss the topic at your own peril. Seriously, tread carefully. Or do the smart thing and avoid it all together.
Thank you.

I have a copy of Risk from 95 that is better than any game that's come out lately.
Otherwise I love my Oregon Trail II
Holy crap, forgot about that game.
I’m probably thinking of the original for Apple II, or Apple IIE. With the big floppy drive, whoa grab the boy and break out the wayback machine Peabody.
Duh.
I amend my first entry to include Half Life. I mean, Gordon Freeman is on the top of this page. How could I not think of that?

STARCRAFT
end of story.
That or Leisure Suit Larry (pick your favorite)
OOps. I've never played Starcraft. I was thinking of Star Control
Specifically, Star Control II.
LOVED that game.

Wikipedia (bless its heart) suggests that leet speak started in the 1980s
God, the format wars back then were even more ridiculous than today’s. There was so little multi-format stuff that technical comparisons didn’t even come into it*, it was all stuff like “Sonic would kick Mario’s arse in a fight”. And that was just the official magazines.
*pre Super FX, anyway
Damn straight!
And fuck your gameboy, I had a GameGear! We knew portable color video gaming years before you Nintendo FANBOYS did! HAHAHAHAHA!

It isn’t the same without the controllers, but you still can get a little fix.

Since my last NES died, I've tried to find some in pawn shops
but no success. Now I’m too busy/cheap/lazy to get one.
Be open minded about what you don't know.
NESes are pretty rare to find now. As are SNESes
but if you want an original Playstation or an N64, you could buy three.
I pick up almost any NES I see at a thrift store only to have a backup in case my system dies. Then again, you could also get a Generation NEX, an NES/SNES hybrid.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Sep 11, 2008 10:30 AM PDT up reply actions
So YOU are the reason I can't find one.
I’m holding out hope for a re-release, like the Atari 2600. Made my sister’s Christmas with that one.
I think I have three, but at least one is broken.
One of them is a working machine, and I am happy to have it right next to the Wii.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Sep 11, 2008 1:29 PM PDT up reply actions
I have backup on Nin64, need to grab some controllers.
Also a backup copy of GoldenEye, with all cheats completed. I’m trying to decide how much to offer for your Tecmo. Especially since I’d have to get an NES to play it on.
A working NES goes for around $50
on CL, so I dunno. Games are anywhere from a dollar to $100+ depending upon rarity.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.
I'd get one right now if it weren't for
my wife, son, and son #2 (due to see the world by next Tuesday at the latest). They take up all of my non-work time and non-beer disposable income. I’m a human during the day and a portable jungle gym when I get home.
Be open minded about what you don't know.
I'm a stay at home dad.
So my day kind of runs opposite, but congrats on #2. I can’t remember what the sleep deprivation was like, but I just remember having poor decision making skills. Still have those nights but we’re almost out of the tunnel.
I have two copies. Where do you live?
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Sep 11, 2008 9:49 AM PDT up reply actions
There's a sequel due out on DS
There’s also an active modding community for the original on NES that have hacked it to have current divisions, all 32 teams and current rosters.
Game is still super broken though.
If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

I don't know how many of you remember Tom Tango's fan scouting survey, but
he did a recap at The Hardball Times. Luckily for us, Tom looks at the difference for the Mariners between Dave Cameron’s numbers and the average of everyone else who participated. It’s pretty interesting and worth looking at, especially if you participated.
Be open minded about what you don't know.
I'm shocked that Ichiro is ranked higher that Yaydrian.
Ichiro is really, really good, but Yaydrian is otherworldly.

I gave Ichiro high ratings everywhere but arm accuracy, but I gave Beltre higher ratings in all but two categories.

Wait, the rating is showing the disparity is it not?
Between fan impression and expert? Or are you just speaking of the numbers before being crunched? Also, I’d love to see this questionnaire handed out at a few local bars, I’d donate the time to transpose the data.
I'm just surprised so many people think Ichiro is better defensively that Beltre.
Even without considering the position.
J.K.L.
by Aaron Campeau on Sep 11, 2008 1:26 PM PDT up reply actions
Especially having polled this crowd.
Ichiro: hearts and minds campaign victory! What really surprised me after dwelling on this all morning was Willie, I had expected much lower marks. But having said that I need to give it another look, think I’m misinterpreting the results.
Dave's never been all that fond of Ichiro's arm accuracy.
I’d need to watch more replays to come to a conclusion.
I could watch a million replays.
The one thing I could guarantee is somebody telling me I don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m not offering an opinion. Ever.
Ichiro tends to miss throws to home plate by quite a bit
It obviously has the distance, but the throw frequently takes the catcher well off home plate and prevents him from making a tag.
I thought he did that a lot more from CF than from RF
and I recall at least one throw that skipped off the mound.
I have absolutely no data to suggest this aside from observation.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Sep 11, 2008 9:51 AM PDT up reply actions
I've seen offline throws from RF too
But someone who has seen more recent games probably knows better.
Overconfidence and not hitting the cut-off man?
Or the cut off man letting it go because it looks like it has the distance?
I'd bet on the former
Ichiro knows he can get it there on his own, and if he believes he has a shot at nailing a runner coming home, he’s going to go for it.
Funny thing
…it is the seventh category where the difference lies, Arm Accuracy. Fans give him a 4.2, while Dave gives him a 2. That is an enormous difference of opinion. Of the 88 fans who cast a ballot on Ichiro’s arm, only three rank him as a 1 or 2.
I was one of them. I gave Ichiro’s arm accuracy a 2.
I was probably the third.
Ichiro’s accuracy is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overrated.

For one of my classes at UW, we studied the Mac vs PC ad campaign
It’s witty and all, but it doesn’t really sell Macs to non-users.
Isn't there a marketing thing about name checking the competition?
Isn’t it supposed to benefit them as much as the intended target of the ad? The pepsi/coca-cola campaigns of the 80’s spring to mind.
Then what the hell is the point of that campaign?
Shelling out millions of dollars to give current Mac users a reason to pat themselves on the back?
It's one of the problems with creative people in the adveritising industry
They get so engrossed in neat ideas that they forget to do the simple things an ad needs that matter most.
thirtysomething reference alert
I still remember the scene where they’re screening a cool but information-free ad for photocopiers, and ad agency underling says “What’s the Point? It’s not going to sell any copiers” and the ruthless boss says “’A few thousand dollars worth of print ads in trade journals will sell the copiers.” — the point of the cool ad was to win awards and attract new clients.
by edgar is good on Sep 11, 2008 10:55 AM PDT up reply actions
That's pretty much the point of any advertising
that doesn’t directly say “Buy My Widget”. Advertising is like architecture – different houses have different styles, and they all create ads that further the style.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Italy used to have broadcasting rule that 70% of the ad had to be entertainment.
Or something around 70%, don’t know if it’s still that way or not.
Mac v. Apple ads
I actually think they work pretty well. They walk a fine line between smug and funny, and they mostly do it well. And they’re a damn sight funnier than the Seinfeld/Gates Microsoft ad. That ad is…not so bueno.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
That ad is the first of many.
Its attempting to establish a human face with the monolithic reputation of Microsoft
I just hope the rest are better/have a point.
I mean, between Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld they have uncounted billions of dollars, not to mention Microsoft money, and they couldn’t hire writers that can come up with anything better than “magnum Jupiter brain” and making computers like cake? That’s just sad.

The thing is
I think the Mac v. Apple ads are backfiring. I know they’ve turned several of my friends off of Apple products before they’ve even tried them.
Yeah know, when I first saw them I thought "haha, that's pretty good. Does a good job of capturing the smugness of the Apple fanboy."
And then I saw it was a Mac ad and I thought “Oh my god. They’re serious.”
Do they not realize how assholish that makes them look. If I was a mac user I’d be pissed!

The Beatles music is purportedly getting its own game, like Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, but would support full band play (singer, guitar, bass, drums).

* Who should be assigned to Robert’s suicide watch today?
-Not me
* What are the origins of Robert’s relationship with sharp objects?
-Probably something with his mother.
* The Mac vs. Apple advertising campaign: are acblue and I the only ones that think it doesn’t work?
I assume you mean Mac vs. PC? I suppose that depends upon who you ask. I think they’re dumb but I had a roommate who was a long time Apple user who loved them. They’re horribly full of FUD. Also a Mac is a PC so that makes them even stupider.
* Your favorite PC game created before 1999?
-Tie Fighter
* Do you still own an NES? Your SNES?
-NES no, it died long ago and I gave it to someone else who was gonna put a Gamecube in it. SNES is at my parents house but it doesn’t work. Still have all the games I didn’t sell. Including Chrono Trigger + Box and at least one of the fold outs.
* How should I stalk Matthew today?

* Other than Uwe Boll, who is the worst film director/producer in the entertainment industry?

* Who should be assigned to Robert’s suicide watch today?
I thought this was permanently mummy’s job.
* What are the origins of Robert’s relationship with sharp objects?
His great great great great uncle was a travelling circus performer whose specialty was knife-throwing. Also known as “Westy Three-Fingers”
* The Mac vs. PC advertising campaign: are acblue and I the only ones that think it doesn’t work?
They work. They’re just spreading the truth, so, yeah, they work. My new-to-me MacMini is finally up and running and my wife is switching back (she grew up with Macs at home). Macs just work better. Even at running Vista.
* Your favorite PC game created before 1999?
Go back and forth between this one (made before many of you were born) and the even older DOS football game, the name of which slips my mind right now. I LOVED hacking the text file table and giving my receivers 40 (out of 40) speed, catching, and strength. I always gave Dave Krieg 0 points for passing and fumbling because he sucked and took the job away from my FAVORITE QB EVER (Jim Zorn)!!!!
* Do you still own an NES? Your SNES?
It’s at my parents house somewhere. I think I even saw the original Atari in the old toybox…
* How should I stalk Matthew today?
Woo him with sweet, sweet beer…
* Other than Uwe Boll, who is the worst film director/producer in the entertainment industry?
No idea. I don’t watch many movies in the theater. If I hear they’re bad, I don’t rent/borrow/buy the DVD. But the worst movie I’ve ever seen is this one, and since Richard Lerner is listed as the Director, he gets the Raspberry award…
* Best film director/producer?
Tempted to say Lucas or Spielberg because both of them changed society and the industry in my youth. But I also love John Hughes’s work, too…

Question for electric guitar players:
The song “The Trees” by Rush came on my player, and the guitar sound in that is drenched in chorus and reverb. However, it’s a sound that can be replicated quite easily on my amp with no effects pedals at all. So here’s the question: Does knowing how a particular effect on guitar is made ruin the song for you?
I guess my thought is that my $700 amp can reproduce the guitar sound of a professional musician with just a couple of knob turns and stepping on my footswitch.
