It's always pretended to be a pastoral game, one born in upstate New York in a bucolic hamlet known as Cooperstown, and codified by returning war hero Abner Doubleday (and - oh - what a glorious cornfield of a name that is!) And yet... Nope. Turns out it kind of evolved from Rounders, a British variant on cricket, and if anyone actually invented it, it was a Manhattanite bookworm named Alexander Cartwright. The first real teams were upper crust urban types. And there's some evidence the game might have been invented in 18th century Canada, which wasn't just non-American, it was where the Torys were hanging out!AndyRobot800https://www.blogger.com/profile/17536205925552681781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448613549782052868.post-9303063663012362712015-10-28T21:44:13.869-07:002015-10-28T21:44:13.869-07:00My Dad and I bonded over Archon (the Atari 800 ver...My Dad and I bonded over Archon (the Atari 800 version).

How sad. Especially as he's a grown man who used the phrase "rape machine" without a trace of irony.<br /><br />Good thing I have e-mail archives with every comment left on the blog so I can fill these important gaps. Here we go - the four deleted comments, in order.<br /><br />1: >Stanley Fish points out, in arguing that authorial intent matters in the reading of literature, that it is only when we assume an author that it is possible to discern meaning.<br /><br />Stanley Fish is famous for his idea of interpretive communities. He was never one to promote authorial intent -- the meaning of the work being decided by it's creator.<br /><br />Cite your sources friend. I would suggest reading the essay you cite, maybe taking it to an instructor, before you put something into print that misrepresents what the essay puts forward. <br /><br />2: Philip, are you seriously going to sit there and type that Stanley Fish was for authorial intent?<br /><br />Well allow me to warm up the rape machine.<br /><br />I'm going to be quoting "The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism." ISBN: 0-393-97429-4<br />Pg. 2069<br />"Interpreting the Variorum" epitomizes Fish's stances and style. It characteristically uses Milton as a test case, attacks accepted beliefs in authorial intention and textual autonomy, and proposes the provocative thesis that texts are empty in themselves and made only by the reader."<br /><br />Do me a favor and stop being so far up your own ass. <br /><br />3: It would be good to note that this letter written in addresses the meaning of the constitution, and therefore invariably has a political agenda.<br /><br />He deconstructs and constructs in many of his texts.<br /><br />I don't think you've read them though, and I don't think you actually have a PHD.<br /><br />Go fly a kite.<br /><br />I'm out. Good luck having people take you or your work seriously when you flagrantly disregard Literary Theory; but who are we kidding though, you hadn't heard of that essay that is quoted in my last post until you read it in my last post. <br /><br />4: You're ignoring the context in which the the column was written. The political bias is evident, and made even more so when the fact the the New York Times is a liberal paper, especially their opinion section, is considered.<br /><br />You sir, seem to be recanting what you originally put forward.

At all. Batman loses regularly, in fact constantly.<br /><br />The standard pattern for a Batman story throughout the Gold, Silver, and Bronze ages, as well as every television version of the character, has been Batman encounters villain, Batman suffers defeat (and often capture or the kidnapping of Robin), Batman regroups, Batman prevails. Even in modern portrayals, Batman is far from infallible; the entirety of The Dark Knight consists of Batman being defeated by the Joker, eventually winning only a moral victory while the Joker himself gets clean away.<br /><br />Yes, Batman always wins eventually. But that is not unique to Batman; that is part of the structure of superhero comics. As I believe you have noted elsewhere, the reader knows Batman will not die or abandon crimefighting or turn to evil because DC wishes to continue selling Batman comics; there must be a next issue. There are exceptions to the pattern, but it applies to the vast majority of superheroes.<br /><br />The idea that Batman always wins seems to have originated on the Internet, hence the usual phrase "Batman can beat anyone if he has time to prepare." There is no basis for such in comics.<br /><br />Or, at least, there was no basis for it when I was studying the Caped Crusader and read a few hundred issues of his book. My studies stopped at the 1990s, but as Batman for the NES came out in 1989 later depictions of the character don't figure into a psychochronographical reading.<br /><br />The goal of the video game is to reflect the character as he was in 1989. It's true Grant Morrison had written five issues of Batman by the time this game came out, but using him (and the Internet) as the sole resources on Batman's character when the overwhelming preponderance of evidence supports the Batman of the time as a man whose primary characteristics are endurance and intelligence, not infallibility.Cyndy Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17123254940003518636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448613549782052868.post-28997216463439574062013-10-17T22:15:18.108-07:002013-10-17T22:15:18.108-07:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934105334414431993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448613549782052868.post-29056254655141428452013-08-23T01:28:55.950-07:002013-08-23T01:28:55.950-07:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Captain Zaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774274509830781744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448613549782052868.post-26872439733653083222013-08-21T06:56:24.573-07:002013-08-21T06:56:24.573-07:00Part 2
I understand the rage you feel with video ...Part 2<br /><br />I understand the rage you feel with video games... I played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I screamed at the TV, I threw the controller. But I could also from a young age find serenity in a game... When I beat Super Mario 3 the first time I listened to the end music for a half hour. Watched my dad play Civilization, Pirates, RailRoad Tycoon, and MANY D&D games, and I always felt I was missing something with the console games. These were worlds he got to play in, I had to play in a basement. <br /><br />While I have huge attachments to the NES games I played as a kid, I have greater attachments to the computer games I played, because those were amazing in my eyes. My favorite games of all time is probably Wing Commander because of its story, and Might and Magic 6, as in 1997 being 12 years old it was the first RPG I was intelligent enough to play... And it took me a year of real life to win. <br /><br />I'm just pointing out there are games that are "technically" terrible no matter how you look at it, and there are games that are bad only to the beholder. It's good to research everything just a little to understand what you're going into. <br /><br />Imagine someone who had never seen a Star Trek movie comes up to a Trekie and starts saying shit about one of the most beloved franchises of all time? Ton's of people hate Star Trek, but they understand tons of people love it and just say "I don't get it" and that's fine. These D&D games on the computer were extremely successful and loved. They are technically good games even if one does not understand them.<br /><br />Enough of the criticism... I'm just starting with your blog and have thus far loved reading about the connections you make between the games and your (at the time anyway) broken life. You will probably hear from me again. By the way, what's with this blogspot 4,096 character limit for a reply? Isn't the point to get a long conversation going that twitter and facebook can't compete with? :)<br />Shot97 Retrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445442076452857495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448613549782052868.post-57438363851326885712013-08-21T06:54:14.871-07:002013-08-21T06:54:14.871-07:00Part 1

I believe I can add a few comments here and there that may be interesting. <br /><br />I'm always with the "blind" gamer until I actually run across something I and countless others love. That's when the lack of research, lack of reading the manual can really get to a person reading the thoughts of someone who has never really played the game. <br /><br />There are ways to approach a beloved game or any entertainment that you happen to not like. It's actually fairly simple; You just have to do a quick wikipedia search, give a short history of the game and why it's so popular, then give your opinion saying "but I hate it."<br /><br />But blood can boil when someone goes into a game that has achievements of being ported to almost every machine at that time, sold tons of copies, was the start of the legendary "Gold Box Games" of which at least 9 games came out with practically the same graphics, is in the CGW hall of fame and places consistently in the top RPG's of all time...<br /><br />I understand that the game in its NES form is crap in a sense, though it is still basically the same game. It should not have been ported to a platform for children who don't have attention spans. It was made for the Commodore 64 and ported to the Amiga and DOS, and it's meant to have a keyboard. <br /><br />You likened computer D&D to masturbation. When you can't have the real thing, you go there. Well, what do you think caused millions to be absorbed in computer games over the years????<br /><br />Console VS. computer gaming are two different beasts. Two different markets. Consoles were for children, computers were for very intelligent adults with some money. You didn't see many platform games on computers for a reason, just as you didn't see too many RPG's on a console. <br /><br />I feel extremely lucky in that my father was a computer nerd. I've seen that most people our age were either given an NES or a computer but the parents had no idea what the hell the thing was. This caused children to develop a life long love for games that were easy enough for them to like at the time. This is why games continue to get dumber and dumber as they get more advanced. <br /><br />My dad had a C64, which I barely remember. Then he got an Amiga for himself, and an NES for the kids. I got to watch the adult play games that he liked, as well as play games I liked. When it came to the NES, adults never touched it, beneath them. I could watch him play games for hours, and I would get lost in the world watching. I have a very unique perspective in that I understand both the NES and computer worlds of that time, and enjoy them both. <br /><br />I feel a need to defend these types of games as they get beat up on far too much these days. The children of that time are now the ones reviewing them on YouTube and blogs. The adults of that time are not doing this kind of stuff, so the history is being told by people that were 5 years old when these games came out and grew to only like games that did not require a manual. <br /><br />Some games require a manual and more than a half hour. This game could take months to complete. If you're on a journey to find yourself, I'd think you'd have a much better shot getting into an adventure that gives you lots of time to think rather than games you throw away in a half hour. <br /><br />These games were made for nerds, and they cost $80 at the time! They sold for that much because it was 30 times the size of Super Mario (which was huge for the console world) and people loved the stories and adventures these things took you on. <br /><br />Now I've only been to a couple "real" D&D sessions, and I could just as easily describe those as a big "circle jerk" to use your sexual metaphors. I'd rather be alone in front of a computer honestly.
