Reminds me of the book I'm reading about "Innumeracy."

Did anyone get that game to work? My computer wouldn't run it.

On how many new songs he expects tolisten to in future: "Given the current rate, I could expect another 8 songs in the next ten years."

He needs ILM!

Why does his site remind you of Innumeracy, curtis?

After reading "My Annoying Nose," which Momus posted, I e-mailed him about my similar problem & let him know it was called anosmia. That was really important to me when I found out. I would be reluctant to diagnose him with anything else, however.

Abbott (Abbott), Saturday, 4 November 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

it's amazing how creative he is in coming up with hacks and workarounds for his various cognitive deficiencies. it's a pity there is no equivalent for his social life.

marmotwolof, Sunday, 5 August 2007 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link

xpost! I just came here to say that. He has a wonderful accent which doesn't sound at all like I expected. If he'd just enunciate a little more he could make good money reading kids' stories (uh, until one of the dreaded words came up).

Hey, you've got a great voice for gaming-tips narration -- reminds me of William Burroughs, but much younger sounding.

OTM, especially like where he says "bad graphics"

marmotwolof, Sunday, 5 August 2007 22:34 (sixteen years ago) link

Ha, I didn't see that. I nearly mentioned Burroughs myself but thought better of it in case I showed great ignorance of American accents, not being from over there.

a passing spacecadet, Sunday, 5 August 2007 22:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Nah, definite similarity, and I've listened to tons of Burroughs readings. I don't think there are any recordings of WSB from before he was already in his 40s, so if you subtract age and add a touch of nasal tone, there you go.

I would totally listen to video game podcasts from this dude.

So what's the deal?

Drooone, Sunday, 5 August 2007 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link

What's with the youtube people and their "get a life" remarks? After all, THEY are watching the damn thing.

Beth Parker, Sunday, 5 August 2007 23:03 (sixteen years ago) link

i love his 1-10 scale

cutty, Sunday, 5 August 2007 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link

This is the most bittersweet website.

His meat juiciness tip is surprising:

First off, this trick can ONLY be applied when you're shopping for meat. This particularly applied to a pot roast. When you go out to buy meat, look for the white stuff in the packages and feel it. When there's a lot of it and it's rather hard, the juicier it can be. There's one catch though you should be aware of [but it's rare]: it could have very little in the center, thus taking out the juice. This has worked 22 out of 23 times so far. The catch of this trick got to me, but looking at the chances of failure, it almost-always works.

Abbott, Sunday, 5 August 2007 23:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I like his description of an accountant's job.

river wolf, Monday, 6 August 2007 00:04 (sixteen years ago) link

jesus, i just got lost in that site.

it was bad news for me this afternoon.

Clay, Monday, 6 August 2007 06:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Love this site. It's addictive. Reminds me of my video-game-obsessed OCD childhood.

Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 6 August 2007 07:01 (sixteen years ago) link

By "the white stuff" does he mean the fat? Cause thats a well known one, fat-marbeled meat being more tender.

Trayce, Monday, 6 August 2007 07:01 (sixteen years ago) link

"marbeled"? gah I cant spel.

I sent him the one email. He replied and seems like a nice enough guy. I'll probably post on his forum that will be for helping him find bugs in his videogame, which I was going to play anyway.

I've heard that just preparing for a baby can cost upwards of $500 let alone having to feed the baby and other things while it grows up.

Jordan, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 22:25 (fifteen years ago) link

I just spent an hour on this guy's website, being totally captivated by it. It's several kinds of beautiful.

Cooper's not so impressive, but the original guy... I find his site absolutely heartbreaking. And that Youtube clip directly above, omg, that's so sad. It's making me want to cry. I want to know the guy's name.

Man, I look around http://www.ulillillia.us/aboutme/home.shtml and I keep looking and then I think: "if this were a novel, it would be a complete fucking masterpiece, albeit an often boring one."

Just one thing I was thinking about as I was getting on the copter (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 14:37 (fifteen years ago) link

He's called Nick. Maybe he'd be my friend because I'm also called Nick. Even though I fucking hate computer games and what he does with sample rates and bitrates basically makes me feel ill.

I find the fact that he so rarely mentions his family more upsetting than the fact that they might have neglected him; he's not aware of them, seemingly, at all.

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link

The stuff about the words 'people' and 'person' is almost unbearable.
