Funny New Book Out

Been a while since I posted here on SEN, but I just read a book called The Gamer's Sex Guide on a friend's recommendation. The title itself is a joke, and the chapters inside varied between inane humor and thought provoking. Now the reason I decided to post on here was because a friend of a friend wrote the book, and he (my friend, not my friend's friend) asked me if I'd say anything about it, and I told him I might if I enjoyed the book, which I did. The first few chapters poke a lot of fun at gamers and their solitary ways, but the last half actually poses some serious questions about sexuality in gaming, double standards, and the like. It only took me like two hours to read, but it only set me back $3, which is about the price of a single comic issue (which takes like fifteen minutes to flip through), so it seems like a decent deal.

Even if nobody had told me about it, I might have picked it up on the cover alone, which is absolutely golden:



Unfortunately, it looks like it's only available on the Kindle and not in print form. Then again, you might not want to be caught with a copy of this book anyway. :bleh:



None.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
