[Hello everyone, it's Chris. As usual for his posts while there's no event going on, he has very important things to talk about.]

Hey guys. So, while I've had the time to work on it, I've been taking apart the code Rhys used to make Pong and I think I've got enough of a handle on it to start making some games. Really basic games, though.

[Don't ask him to make Crysis or something.]

So yeah, any requests? I was thinking Tetris, and maybe like, a chess game or something? I dunno. I'm open to suggestions.

[And on that note--]

Em and I are also taking suggestions on the emoji front, too. We've already decided we need a tiny violin for Emily's abject lack of sympathy for my plights in life, but while we're adding one we might as well add a bunch.

[So yeah. That concludes this super important, incredibly necessary post.]

you just reminded me that we don't have an eyeroll emoji

[/adds this to her list]

[thechoiceisyours]

Oh man we totally need one; it'd save me a lot of typing.

[infinite1up]

Have you ever heard of Spelunker?

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah; I've played ports of it.

[It's pretty great.]

It might be kind of complicated for me but I could give it a shot.

Did you and Emily make the emojis? [They're cute. She doesn't use them often though.]

What does the salt can mean? [Because she associates it with one thing and it doesn't really make sense.]

Video

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, we did.

[The emojis actually have quite a story behind them in how they came into being, but that's not the point right now. And he laughs a little at the question, because--]

We get that question like, all the time. It's slang; being salty is like being unreasonable pissed off or bitter about something, and usually that something's really not worth it.

[And so it's very applicable in Hadriel a lot. People here are so incredibly salty.]

your video game efforts are very much appreciated omg you have no idea

how about

Snake????

text;

[thechoiceisyours]

Awesome! Always good to know.

Dude, yes. Snake's a good one and it shouldn't be too hard to program.

[torrefied]

[... one of these things is highly relevant to Mello's interests.]

Chess is a excellent mental exercise.

[Which means he's voting for it, yep.]

text.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Wow how'd he know this would be Mello's opinion.]

So I've heard, and I figure there's enough huge nerds here by now to have people to play against.

[Says Chris, like he's not one of those huge nerds.]

[sciencelizard]

oh did you guys make the emojis???
i love those!!!!
can i request one thats like. its the eyes emoji but not sarcastic its like when ur really interested in something
also, a fire emoji, for important reasons

as for games uhm
snake is fun!!!! =^w^=
or what about asteroids???

text

[thechoiceisyours]

We did, yeah! And I know exactly what eyes you're talking about, I think, and yeah definitely on the fire.

You're the second vote for Snake and I think I could program it pretty easily, so that one may have to happen. Asteroids is also a good idea!

[rehashing]

[ Don't mind the girl from 2011. But, she understands simple games. The next word, not so much. ]

What are emojis?

[ video ]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Elena your life is sadness. Not that Chris actually uses emojis that heavily outside of Hadriel, but it's the principle of the matter here.]

Do you know what emoticons are? Like using text to make pictures or faces, like smilies and hearts and whatever?

text;

[survivorsguilt]

guess who is STILL my fave person? yeah dude. its you.

anyway are there any easy games to make where you can SHOOT at stuff???

[Seconding the call for asteroids.]

no desperate emoji need but what about like...something spooky? for when you're spooking people? you know. a ghost. a spooky ghost.

text;

[thechoiceisyours]

Dude, sweet.

[He's always glad to be someone's favorite.]

Someone suggested Asteroids; do you mean like that? Because I think that's totally possible.

Spooky ghost is definitely necessary here so yeah, I'll pass the idea along to Em and see what she can come up with.

[wendigoner]

still using your superpowers for good. glad to hear it.

maybe you could make a little baseball kinda game?

text;

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, for now anyway.

[Mwahahahaha.

As for baseball, huh. He hadn't thought about that.]

No promises but I could definitely try.

[skelebro]

Back when that Pacman thing came out there was chatter about a leaderboard for high scores.

Thoughts?

video

[thechoiceisyours]

Bro, great idea, I totally forgot about that. It shouldn't be too hard to get working and then all the competitive types could focus on kicking each others' asses in video games instead of real life.

[Win win situation here.]

[hasitsthorns]

what games do we have?
donkey kong would be awesome
i'm all about saving me some princesses
I will 100% put in any and all kaomoji

text;

[thechoiceisyours]

We've got Pong and Ms Pacman so far.

I hadn't thought about Donkey Kong but I can definitely try a few different methods to see if I can get it to work.

Kaomoji are pretty great but I think I'd have to ask Em about it first.

[She gets all weird about cute Japanese stuff.]

audio

[unitas]

Ooh, a tiny violin will come in handy here. [ She'd use it all the time when the gods are bitching about something. Or anyone's bitching about anything. ]

But I would kill for some Tetris or Space Invaders.

audio

[thechoiceisyours]

I know, right? I feel like we'll get a lot of questions about it just like the salt, but it'll be totally worth it.

[Again, just like the salt.]

Sweet, your votes have been counted, especially the Tetris one since I want to make that one anyway.

video;

[iustitiae]

Cashmere and I want Instagram.

[i'm going to be honest, he has learned nothing about computer stuff despite living with a computer nerd back home so he probably things this is on the same level as making tetris]

video;

[thechoiceisyours]

You know, I should be surprised by this request, but I'm not.

[They seems like they'd be the instagram model types.]

That's uh, a little more complicated than a game, though.

video;

[quacked]

Can you make Pokemon or Sonic games? [ They're... basic, right? ]

video;

[thechoiceisyours]

Man, I wish. I could totally use some Pokemon.

[Also he's a little surprised to see someone so young here.]

Right now we're kind of just stuck with old-people games, though, since they're simple to program.
