Twitter: Part 2

Basically, even if I wanted to Twitter, I really wouldn’t know what to Twit about. My ego is not quite large enough to think that a bunch of people would actually want to know what I’m doing on a minute by minute basis.

NOTE: My ego is actually growing at an exponential pace. Soon I will need to reserve two seats on flights just to accommodate it.

So, in lieu of me actually Twittering, I figured I would come up with a list of standard activities that I routinely engage for you, the reader, to choose from. If you’re ever wondering what I’m doing at a given moment, you can then consult the list at random and be reasonably certain that I’m actually doing that.

For you nerds out there, print it out and keep a twenty-sided die handy. Roll it and use the following chart to determine what I’m up to!

1. I’m staring blankly at the computer screen because I’ve forgotten what I’m doing.
2. I’m exercising.
3. I’m arguing the merits of AD&D vs all the other D&D systems (THACO sucks).
4. I’m working on Wayfarer’s Moon.
5. I’m working on some random writing project that involves people hitting each other with vegetables.
6. I’m not sleeping due to chronic insomnia.
7. I’m hallucinating at work, because I didn’t sleep the night before (or have been drugged by my coworkers).
8. Fighting ninjas.
9. Sitting in the dark, crying.
10. I’m writing a blog.
11. Pondering man’s inhumanity to man.
12. A random movie quote has just flashed through my mind and I can’t recall what movie it’s from. This is driving me insane.
13. Playing hackey-sack with my coworkers in the parking lot.
14. I’m swearing at the computer, ‘cause the AI in my level won’t FREAKIN’ DO WHAT I WANT IT TO!
15. Fondly remembering a bygone era that I’ve idealized to the point of ludicrousness.
16. Dating a super model.
17. Getting shot down by a super model.
18. Talking to a coworker. There is a 73% chance it is not work related. There is an additional 12% chance the conversation is really, really stupid.
19. Talking to Leigh.
20. Playing D&D or thinking about playing D&D.
Cheers,

Twitter: Part 1

A few days ago, a reader suggested I should start Twittering. Here is the actual email:

Hello.

I am a Nigerian prince who has ben fled the country of Nigeria. Because of the sudden of my leaving, I lose much money. I am look for a good friend to help. Are you a good friend? Do you like large men with many muscles? Everyone says I am best man in whole of Nigeria.

Oh, wait. Wrong email. Here’s the actual text:

You should totally twitter.

Now, I’ve heard of Twitter, but wasn’t exactly sure what it entails. Apparently, you send very small messages (140 characters or less) to friends and such (I assume). 140 characters is not much. I’m not sure I can express the wonder and majesty that is my life in a mere 140 characters (91 characters, if we’re counting spaces).

The other question: what the hell would I twitter about? (56)

I realize my life sounds exciting. I mean, I design video games and have a (barely noticed) blog. In reality, designing video games is a lot of hard work. Sure, I fight ninjas, race speedboats, romance super models, and find forgotten cities of gold on a weekly (daily, if we’re crunching) basis, but trust me, it’s not as exciting after you’ve been doing it a few years.
