Stilton: Its a shame when you want to enjoy something but the product is too lame in one way or another to allow that to happen. Its a good argument for difficulty (annoyance) levels being applied to this type of game. If you want some easy amusement, great. If you want to gnash your teeth and pull your hair out, great. Personally, I play for fun.
How are you doing. Mr. Ent?
AgentBirdnest: Well, I'd still call FTL enjoyable. It irritates me in the best way possible. Because every time I'm irritated by an untimely death, I say to the game "Oh yeah? We'll see about that! I won't make the same mistake next time." It is genuinely fun for me to play the game over again. It rarely feels repetitive to me.
I have a love/hate relationship with that one. I'd even call it one of my favourite, but also most hated games :-)
Feeling kinda plucked up today. The little mushy guy under the helmet can't decide what it wants today, which gets old rather quickly... Still, it's been more good than bad today.
How 'bout yourself?
I agree that some annoying games can also be enjoyable (strange but true), but that goo thing needs strangling.
I'm doing OK. I seem to have hit a run of medical things - I waited two hours today to see a doctor (it was the walk-in clinic - either that or an appointment for 6 Jan earliest) and I need to go back to the hosp for another ultrasound. Minor stuff, I hasten to add, but it could be easily done without. Slowly getting the Christmas prep underway, too. Some present buying, sorting the the place out for the decorating onslaught, mother's birthday in a couple of days...more stuff, stuff and stuff. Life. You know how it goes. :-)
