Playing around with the Xtranormal text-to-animation tool this afternoon, and looking for some two-person dialogue to feed in, I thought I’d try dramatising the recent DoV from JeffSheets (the text is verbatim, the gestures and camera cuts were done manually). Hearing two satnav voices arguing is never going to be very compelling, but it’s worth waiting for “I had my own blog” 54 seconds from the end.
The first time it said “nomic”, it said “nohmic”. The second time, it said “nommic”.
The American-accent voice pronounces it “nommic”, the English-accent couldn’t parse it at all and pronounced it “nahr-mic”, so I just typed it out phonetically as “nohmic”.
@yuri: Sure, but most of us aren’t that idiotic. Also, Canada, Ireland, England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are also all full of idiots.
But not Scotland.
You know, we might as well shorten it to “The English-speaking world is full of idiots.” Of course, that’s being a bit optimistic…
That’s true. Then again, most places that border the Atlantic are.
Or the Pacific.
Or the Indian.
Or the Southern.
Or the Arctic.
Or landlocked.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
