Yeah I know, I haven't posted much lately and coming back with a quiz-meme thingy is pretty lame, but it is what it is:

In truth, I haven't looked too deeply into WAR's classes, although I visually I like the style of Chaos so this seems apt.

Somebody comes along and writes something clever and you wish you've written it. That's what Lore Sjöberg has just done with his summary of the 7 Basic Blogpost types over at Wired.

I wanted to summarize them all, but that would be stealing too much of the meat from the thing. Someone should maintain a blog with exactly these categories.

If I had to nitpick: "Animals are cute!" should instead be part of a general "Meme" category instead of shoving those under the holy cult of ego number 7.

What's scary is that I can't read videogame blogs today without thinking it's all just "Something I like, only different!". They're reminding me of the opening scenes of Robert Altman's The Player where movies are pitched as "it's like such-and-such, only a comedy starring Bruce Willis". I was thinking exactly that when I figuratively ran over unfortunate Keen (not so unfortunate, he's doing alright *grin*) with the phrase "armchair designer".

I'm as much a culprit of these formulas creeping in to my own blog.

File the whole thing under "People are dumb!".

I haven't done any silly quizzes in awhile, but this one was just too good to pass up:

I'm actually a pacifist, but if I had to face a swarm of 5 year olds? Dammit, kids that age don't have much restraint. I'd have to defend myself.
