Human Brain Cloud, an online word association game, reveals the most thought words are 'sex', 'me' and 'money'.
My mum used to say that when a man isn't thinking about sex then he's busy avoiding doing the cleaning, and Kyle Gabler, founder of indie development studio 2D Boy, has finally managed to prove her right. Which is very nice of him, if you ask me.
Founder of the Experimental Gameplay Project, which encourages to create small and stylish indie games and give them away for free (staff favourites include
Attack of the Killer Swarm and the horrendously addictive
Tower of Goo Unlimited), Kyle has been working hard on an experimental game called
Human Brain Cloud.
The game basically involves a massive word association experiment, the results of which are gathered together into viewable clouds. The game has
reportedly gathered over 800,000 associations, connecting over 100,000 unique phrases.
Kyle has recently revealed his most recent statistics from the data-gathering game and, you guessed it, 'sex' is the most submitted word in the entire game.
Arriving in second place was 'me', shortly followed by 'money' - thus proving that all gamers are just horny, greedy, egotists who probably scour the internet for ways to make quick cash all day (with one hand).
Human Brain Cloud, along with all the other games hosted, is free to play, so why not
check it out?
What do you think about most? Does this
game count as art? Discuss
in the forums, if you're not...uhh, busy.
FYI: The game's website has exceeded its CPU quota; "Please contact this site's webmaster."
You mean, physical love? :p
man hit the nail on the head with that one.
Mmmmm....
money!
Also, guess we all know what bit-tech staff do in the offices all day -

This kind of schedule make for a big day
Of course we all know the theory: If you're very good at games, you mostly spend your time ... alone... which would explain all that 'sex'
:(
I think about my loneliness and depression about failed attempts at finding mates more than I think about the actual act of intercourse.
Depends on the time of day though.
Well that's a cheery post. Self-fullfilling sorta one too I suspect ;)
Do I think about sex more than anything else? Hell no. It's simply a nice part of life, that gets a small ammount of thought on a regular basis because hot ladies exist.
but ..... i tried that tower of goo game ... (i was giving my sex-oriented-thoughts a break)
those freaking balls wont stop bouncing, and each time i pick one up
it falls to the ground .... how do you even play it if you cant stick them ??
the mouse has only 2 buttons ... am i using the wrong one ?? :?
Drag them close to the existing frame, you should see a shadow of a construction shape appear, if you release the mouse then they will form that piece.
sums up everything
i pull them up and see those shadows forming
but as soon as i let go, the ball falls back to the ground
and wont let me stack up .... thanks for the reply tho ... :)
that is stupid, in a very wrong way.
This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota :
If you are the webmaster, your account may have gotten this error for one or more of the following reasons:
Your account has used more than its share of the cpu in the past 60 second sliding window.
Your account has too many concurrent processes running simultanously.
Your account has consumed too much memory.
Your site was recently very busy trying to run inefficient scripts.
The solution would be to optimize your applications to use less CPU.
Adding appropriate indeces to your SQL tables can often help reduce CPU.
Using static .html documents instead of painful .php scripts will practically eliminate CPU usage.
Celibacy is the strangest of all perversions - Oscar Wilde
Not that strange. A couple of years ago I read an article on a group of people who called themselves Asexuals. I.E. - they had no sexual preference, they happily lived without sex. You might think this was only ugly fat people, but the article covered a ostensibly normal young good looking person who could obviously easily have found partners. While wikipedia says there is still debate on whether it's a sexual dysfunction or a sexual orientation, I believe the groups themselves strongly feel that asexuality is simply another choice in our modern world.
I suspect it's obvious, but I miss your point.
Just goes to show we humans are a strange lot, the whole purpose of an animals existence is to survive and be strong so they can spawn more of themselves. Choosing not to have sex at all is a very unnatural thing to do, but then again, so is having sex with the intention of not making babies.
