I just read a... "news?" article lamenting that we're gamifying basketball.

Uh...
Whuh... wait, I guess maybe it makes sense if these are the kind of people who look at sports not as "games" but as SRS BSNS. Like a junior b-ball coach who screams himself hoarse from the sidelines and GAWD FORBID if any of those little shits try to focus on having fun when they're meant to be WINNING AT ALL COSTS.

But yeah. In any case, that's dumb.

Can you link the article? There's atleast a tangential thread that makes sense.

I mean I have no idea what the article is about or what supposed gamification of basketball but it's not like there can be bad or boring changes to a game that takes away from what people likes about the game.

As gamers we often complain about that very thing happening to sequels of games we like, in fact.

Maybe each player now has to draw from a deck of cards to determine what techniques, shots and passes they can use during a match?

Okay, they're not exactly lamenting that basketball is being "game-ified" but it's still a WTF.

Article

Quote
"I call it 'game-ify,'" Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown says. "We game-ify the gym." He knows that isn't a word (at least not in exactly the way he's using it), but Philadelphia's practice court has been "game-ified," morphology be damned.

Why people find some stereotypes insulting and others don't?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

I'm probably the only person on the planet who thinks that French isn't a sexy-sounding language.

Pounded in the Butt by my own Government... oh wait, that's real life.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

Okay, I've typed that in Google Translate, and it was... somewhat sexy. I didn't get a total boner, though.

Maybe it only sounds sexy to anglophones? As someone whose native language is a romance one... french is just weird.

I prefer German, if only because it is super easy to make things rhyme on accident.
