creative whiplash

[swan_tower]

I'm not sure whether to be amused or distressed that I game with a group of people who, confronted with a horde of zombies headed for Tiananmen Square, decide that the best of all possible responses is to show up with a tank.

Anyway, we just destroyed the center of Beijing -- srsly, I'm talking flaming wreckage of the Tiananmen itself crashing down into the sea of gasoline-charred zombie body parts, bullet casings, shattered concrete, and dead PLA soldiers -- and now I have to go write subtle, elegant politics.

My head hurts.

But wheeeeee, is over-the-top gaming fun.

Well, it takes a while to work your way up to that kind of stride, and not all games should be that over-the-top. But maybe you are surrounded by gamers with insufficiently large imaginations.

Rather, I am not surrounded by gamers at all. There's a certain critical mass necessary to get a game started in the first place.
