I was watching Big Bang Theory S4 E22, from nowhere Sheldon tried to create a 3 player chest which it was some weird at the begining (I looked up and it actually exist but with regular pieces) , then he added 2 pieces “the serpent” and the “old woman” in order to balance the mechanics… then he added “Prince Joey” : Every time he moves, there’s a one-in-five chance he’ll kill himself.
This really sounds like some WoW systems desings, at the end he added so many pieces Catapult, Gorilla, Transporter Pad,Golf cart, Time machine, The Beekeeper, The Pope,Jet Pack. I couldn´t stop thinking about the system desings at Blizzard creating similar situations in a white board.
It’s one aspect I’ll never get. At least some like parks and rec dont have one.
Take this classic crappy joke for second
Lenard: hey Sheldon i heard you’re on a diet
Sheldon Yes i am Lenard. The seafood diet… i see food, i eat it
(audience laughs for 5 minutes straight… some dying due to diaphragm spasms)
