The Bard

That works....o_0

I'd be The Bard. Funnily enough.

Happy bday ya crazy lass!

All very fair points. I tend to look at music from a musicians point of view, even if it's not something that affects me on a personal level, so I hope you can understand why I tend to be opinionated. Still, I like to think that if you're a musician it helps you warm to other kinds of music, not just stuff thats popular or suits your image or whatever. Either way, it's the way it affects the listener that's important, otherwise all art is meaningless. Good point.

Hahah. Funny guy.

I said nothing about making, I said understanding. Understanding the workings of your trade, it's strengths, it's limits. I'm just saying that if you are an experienced artist, you probably have a great idea of what it is that makes your art work; the reason it's good.

Holy shit That's probably the best rant I've heard all year. The torch has been passed *passes torch* . Anyway, Caris, why don't you create an alternate thread with a poll consisting of choices from the most popular cities?

Well we seem to have already, it somewhere between the Liverpool - Sheffield stretch.

Sheffield seems good. I'd have to drive there though, and I have no sense of direction.

People do not make games, teams make games, so it's not a singular vision. They're not professional "game makers" they're professional artists, or programmers etc, and they have better insight into their field of expertise than someone who is not. Therefore they're better licensed to comment on particular aspects of the game, graphics etc. As for books, any jackass can write a book, writing is a skill taught in school, compulsory education. People who write shit books are obviously people who haven't studied literature, and often have nothing of interest to say, thus resulting in banal shiteness. Music on the other hand, is not taught to everyone. And more often than not, music consists of a primary instrument with others in support. As for Sandwiches and Wardrobes, well, I wouldn't consider either to be art. Your argument wasn't very well thought out. In fact it was just plain stupid.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I think it would be much better to go to a city where a lot of us live already, so we know our way around to the good bars etc, and we can crash at someones place. Just going to some place nobody knows (like Bath) is gonna suck. I'm not adverse to the idea of going somewhere far from where I live, just as long as there will actually be something for me to do once I get there.

We've already decided on Liverpewel ish. So there

Who the eff lives at bath?

Videogames + Alcohol = win. Yup, 6th to 16th ish would be awesome, cause I'm going on holiday after that...

I'm thinking earlyish July.

Well I am, but have we actually decided properly where it's gonna be at?

Safe. I'll be headin over to yours then with a bucket of rum. . Lolz. Me and Caris on Skunky. It's happening.

Would your rents not get incredibly pissed off that a horde of drunken, strange guys are invading your house?

Nah mate Well, I guess it's between Liverpewel, MChester and Sheffield then? Or we could wander around the 3 for a couple of days, and sleep in our cars

Why don't we just say Liverpool instead? There's not much to do in Blackpool. And there's too much sun. I don't like the sun.

Fine. I'll be the one wearing the sign that says "I hate white cracker ass fools" on it ought to go down well in deansgate. Nah, It'd be cool doing this for real, except Blackfox is in Hull, and Takeo's prolly too busy with uni shit, so that's not really gonna work. We could have a massive rave, just the 2 of us Seriously though, it's a good idea, should take it seriously. I went to the circle of bards gathering in Sheffield which was fun, even thought there were only 4 of us. This should be more fun seeing as it's a bigger forum. Providing it does happen of course .

Wasn't Eden on the DC? I remember that game. Never played but watched some vids of it on Game Network

Ok, 10th July in Manchestah. Come along if ya want. I'll be the long haired guy on the bench in the town square drinking out of a brown paper bag. I'll bring the chainsaw.

Well, to avoid that, just bring a friend o_0. Say, "I'm going to XXX with so and so, to meet a few people from my old school" (always works)

Hahah, on the forum index, this thread appears as "Can someone clear up this Wii..." Lolz.
