Plan B waits for you, knowing full well that Plan A will never work; whilst fully understanding Plan A’s seductive aura. Plan B is very patient.

Me too! Great discussions, and a great group of people. Haven't found anything/anyplace quite like it since. I liked how intimate that forum was, while still feeling very vibrant/dynamic/inspiring.

Yeah I think of it similarly, and told Jason such for our big Wired feature where he wrote about it! In my mind, indie games adopted the mindset and it was no longer necessary as a counterculture. I miss the design discussion tho!

Perhaps, in a way. But the discussions on those forums had a big impact on how I think about and make videogames to this day. So it's also like gazing into the future that did happen. :)

Found myself looking back through some stuff in the old notgames forums today. There's some really good stuff in there if you ever feel like wandering around an interesting ghost town! notgames.org/forum/index.php @taleoftales @godatplay @e_svedang @edclef et al.

Contemporary artists do too much of the work. Leave something for the spectator to do!

So, always refer to Pac Man and joysticks in the marketing of a contemporary game event, even if its content has nothing to do with them!
