What about the Paper Clip guy from the old version of Office? I hated him.

I don't fucking like that guy.

Argh, I had this whole list plotted. Now I can't remember. OK, here's another one:

2) People who say that the Dvorak keyboard layout isn't any faster. Yes, I know the study the navy did was rigged. I don't care! Let us have that one thing, will you, Internet? Please? Can we just have that? There's an alternate keyboard layout that is faster and more efficient, and nobody uses it. That's the world I want to live in.

And no, I would never use Dvorak personally.

Not that I have anything against it.

Oooo clippy video next!

How's that brain drug working for you?

I understand the typewriter inventor
made the characters all mixed up on purpose so as not to have the operator fuck up the machine by typing too fast. But what is TOO fast? Seriously, eighty words a minute is fine for most brains. Give a body a split second to rewrite the phrase or sentence. Works wonders, and besides, It'd be such a bitch to re- train the fingers to Mr. Dvoraks layout!

That's the other thing. I think the QWERTY-slowing-down-people thing is a myth, too. It's all a myth! There's no GOOD source of information on keyboards anywhere. And this thread sure ain't gonna start a revolution.

People I h8 the most:

1. those who've known I had a game in the pipeline for FOUR YEARS, seen it come to fruition enough to be entered into introcomp, knowing it won said comp, and STILL fucking refuse to play it.
2: see 1

Obituary.

On ifcomp site, or IFArchive, or IFWiki, etc (available everywhere Interactive Fiction games are sold!) (haha you get the joke there I say "sold" as if the time and effort we put into making these games is worth a penny to anyone, *HILARIOUS*) Or I guess I can just send it to you on AIM, that works too ya feckin' spoilsport

Yeah, I think we clearly fucked up here. Although I tend to not play the Introcomp games, since I'd rather wait till they were finished. So it certainly wasn't personal.

Your logic is flawed, in that all introcomp games (including mine) are never finished.
