That’s a strawman, isn’t it? Doesn’t change the fact contrary to your original statement there is “element of rhythm to your entry” in the game, to the point where between the players with similar typing skills the winner is usually the person who can match it the closest.

Nicko: I would never, ever, say any of us were normal.

I guess I wouldn’t be repressing, I’d be expressing. But nonetheless…

I didn’t know Kieron wanted to be the little girl too!

I’d be interested to see an RPS exposé regarding why perfectly normal (?!) men play female avatars. Ever since Fallout, I’ve played as a woman whenever possible, since I was more than happy to degrade my e-self for a few caps. Even now, I very regularly manifest my alter-ego as a woman.

Surely Mr. Gillen and the RPS staff can offer insight into this phenomenon? At the very least so I can send a link to my girlfriend and say, “See, I’m not repressing transgendered fantasies, I’m totally normal, and these guys say so! They’ve written books! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!”

It’s a shame Audition has been the success it is, because its mechanics are a fundamentally deceptive presentation of the art of dancing. That earlier description of a rhythm action game was a straight lie, as there’s no rhythm to your entry. You hammer out that list, then press space, have a moment’s break, then go back for the next line – or lose your combo with a fumble.

Something to note at least as far as Audition is concerned… there is element of rhythm there — the space presses that send the typed sequences have to match as closely as possible the beat of the song. The individual keystrokes aren’t timed but then it’d be difficult when the game shifts from 5 to 12 keys per beat as it ramps up the difficulty.

Roughly 3/7ths of S Club were making an attempt to reform a while back, I recall.

Weirdly, this is the 2nd Kieron post that has revealed to me why I no longer play MMOs. The first was the one explaining the Sisyphean uselessness of setting (by others or myself) goals that can never be obtained.

And now It was totally high-school – the sense that I was being entirely judged for tiny actions has made me realize why I want no part of non-combat MMOs. Who in god’s name would ever want to go BACK to high school once you’ve seen the world?

Kudos to you, Mr. Gillen. You improved my life greatly.

Oh, so they’ve either become british d-list actors or have disapeared into complete obscurity. Who would have thought…

“I have totaly forgotton about S Club7.
Still.. I wonder what they’re doing now…”

Well Hannah Spearritt is in Primeval and Jo O’Meara was last seen getting bottled off at a performance at a nightclub after the racism furore caused during Celebrity Big Brother. Rachel Stevens was on Strictly Come Dancing, I think.

Apart from that, who knows?
