Funny, I used to student-teach some 2nd graders and they were easily entertained by this game too. Plus they thought Bush didn't care about black people.

pretty sizzneaky, sis.

I'm just here to see people bash on Kanye West. Then ask how many Studman69's are cool enough to play board games with Beyonce Knowles?

I'm listening to Kanye right now - he's one of the best mainstream hip hop artists around. The guy's attitude is unparalleled.

Toy for 8 year olds, brain of an 8 year old, selling records to 8 year olds.

I personally like a lot of his music, but I always root for him to lose at the awards shows just to watch his hissy-fit temper tantrums.

TMZ is making millions of dollars to tell us this shiat.

I'd 'Connect Four' with Beyonce.

IfyaknowwhatImean.....

/OK, this is one thing I can't hate on Kanye for

He should be playing Kerplunk. It's Serious Business.

That or Jenga.

Give me a Beyonce circa late 90's, and I would be playing plenty of Connect Four....

/inches, that is

drjekel_mrhyde: Denial_of_Death: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_complexity:

I'd assume its two more than Connect Four

InternetLOL: /Sucks at Go.

Me too, from the very little I've tried it.

I was also surprised to see Xiangqi rated so much more complex than chess (heh, that's what I get for learning it with Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess).


drjekel_mrhyde: What the hell is connect 6

Seems to be a Tic-Tac-Toe-like game played with Go-like equipment: Connect6

InternetLOL: /Sucks at Go.

I've played some games of Go, and every move makes me think "I have no idea what will happen with this". At least with chess, you're limited to something like 10 choices per move, and you can cut out a few as being obviously bad.

This is the game Beyonce and I have been playing for the past several months.

She knows how to manage a Soviet counterattack at Stalingrad...

/my inner geek, let me show you it

FTA: Connect Four is always on West's tour rider, along with grilled chicken...

haaaaa

douche-douche-douche-douche hey look 4 Kanye's in a row.

I will be the first to say I'm terrible at every game mentioned on that list of games above. I have to struggle to get a tie against an 8-year-old in tic-tac-toe.

/absolutely no foresight, i'm all about the present moment. a real artiste

I should add that by 'every game', I mean the ones that are popular in the U.S. I haven't tried the foreign ones, but I bet I suck at those, too.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: pretty sizzneaky, sis.

This really pisses me off. He always has connect 4 on the rider. Why the heck can't he bring his own game of connect 4 with him. If he is so obsessed with it, I am sure he has one on the tour bus with him. I think that being the event organizer that deals with getting the rider items and arranging the dressing rooms, etc has to one of the most frustrating and annoying jobs around. How can you even look up to or respect these 'artists' when you have to deal with all their crap.

Actually, that was one of the simplest riders I've seen. I don't think it's that bad at all, that's what they get paid for and you can find Connect 4 in pretty much any Wal-Mart.

The assholes are the ones that ask for only yellow M&Ms, or banzai trees manicured to exact specifications, etc. Things that are hard to get and require work.

George Burdell: I personally like a lot of his music, but I always root for him to lose at the awards shows just to watch his hissy-fit temper tantrums.

His first two albums and his early collaborations/beats, yes

His last album was horrible, about just as bad as his ego/attitude

Denial_of_Death: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_complexity:

Nice call. Although that chart would make a fscktonne more sense if it called it "Checkers" instead of "English Draughts", at least in brackets or something.

If it doesn't involve 20 sided die you douches are all over someones ass eh?

People fight to the death on farking VIDEO GAME threads and you pricks are throwing dirt on the golden extasy that is connect 4! Bastards!

Your "smug" is beating out your intelligence by a large margin.

No, because Connect 4 is a really, really simple game that gets dull once you get good at it. Look, I'm all for playing kid's games, or wierd games, or boardgames, or whatever. But after about 10 games of tic-tac-toe, most adults realize that the game is really simple and learn the strategy that makes whoever goes first either win (if your opponent makes a mistake) or tie (otherwise).

Connect 4 is only slightly better than Tic-Tac-Toe.

This

..Connect 4 is only slightly better than Tic-Tac-Toe.

Well no one sells tic tac toe boards, so Kanye felt that getting Beyonce to play this was good enough.

But if you ever find Jessica Alba running to join you in dungeons and dragons, then I guess that's when your talk will be relevant.

Don't kill my childhood people!

I enjoy a game of connect 4. Its simplicity allows for greater sociability, plus it's pretty easy to keep the rules in mind when I'm blinding drunk (local bar has a few sets - damn good bar game)

(hate all you want, I'm a professional game designer - so I *obviously* know more about the subject than any of you. Nyah.)

Bush hates the black disks.

/got less than nothing

Sounds like a fun job. Any good new games we should check out?

Portal - best game in years - and, coming soon, www.wildwestonline.com (disclosure - my game. Admins please nuke if this violates policy)

This thread needs more Gold-digger pics.

/no, not really, but thought the boys would enjoy.

CatJumpJohn: Meanwhile, the GZA and the rest of the Wu-Tang clan will stick to chess, thank you.

thats what i'm talkin about

WIN!

As in you're developing it? Good luck with that man. Interesting concept!

As for Kanye, he's awesome. Connect four is a little odd to play, but to each his own i guess.

yep, on the dev team. Thanks, we think it'll be fun

C4 can be fun in the right atmosphere, but can be embarrassing too - played a girl at a bar one night and she beat me - when I pointed out how she won she said "Oh, I didn't know you could do diagonal as well". Made me feel real smart, that did ;) I blame the tequila

Kanye: self-important, marginally talented douchebag.

lue42: This really pisses me off.
CatJumpJohn: The assholes are the ones that ask for only yellow M&Ms

Not to defend Kanye or Van Halen, but the main reason entertainers do this is because it is a quick way to check if the venue has paid any attention to the rider.

Black people don't care about Kanye West

who set this to 'head games'?
