This expanded one-volume edition of Rules of the Game
More review coming soon.
The shipment was fast. And the product was in perfect condition. What more can i say.
Strauss does a great job in the book. Everything from the A-Z in pickup is covered in this book. It improved my game, dating life, sex life, and even how I dressed. Everything was taken to a whole new level. Also, Strauss has a bunch of free exercises such a subconscious reconditioning audio recording to help you believe that you are the man. For the small price you pay for this book, you really get SO much! It was definitely worth the buy and I recommend it to anyone who wants to take their game to the next level.
If you've just read The Game and you want to learn the "game", this is a great book to start with. It's a day-by-day approach to taking your chump self and building it up towards the idea of being a pickup artist. I wouldn't say you'd ever manage to be a true PUA simply by following this book. However, it WILL re-align some of your inner game and supply you with new techniques that will give you that "ah ha!" moment where you realize how much of what you've ever done to meet women has been wrong. It's an important step in the right direction, but then the rest is up to you.
The most important thing to know before buying this book is that you're expected to make a commitment to working through all the exercises in the book every day for a month, but really more like 90 days. If you're not prepared to make the effort, you just won't get as much out of this book. This book gives you goals, but it's your job to achieve them. If you follow through, you'll learn a lot about yourself and how to meet women. That's why Rules of the Game is such a highly recommended book.
Neil Strauss, the New York Times bestselling author of The Game , presents Rules of the game :
I. Stylelife Challenge
Master the Game in 30 Days
II. The Style Diaries
The Pickup Artist's Companion
Questions for Neil Strauss
Strauss: Oddly, I never do. Instead, I wonder why it took me so long to get to point Z. And then I wonder if people are going to stick with me when I go to point whatever-is-after-Z next. I guess that would be point AA--which, come to think of it, I've already been to with Dave Navarro while writing his book.
Amazon.com: You write in the preface to Rules of the Game that you thought The Game was your "last word on the subject," and you were ready to get on with your life. But, like Michael Corleone, you got pulled back in. Why was it so hard to leave?
Strauss: Good simile. Someone else compared it to Donnie Brasco. There's something about the seduction community that sucks people in. I've seen college kids drop out of school; doctors quit their jobs; and celebrities take huge career risks to pursue this knowledge.
It may be because, according to the Kinsey Institute, most men think about sex every two minutes. But our society has never given them tools to safely fulfill these desires. Once they find out there's a way to learn to be more successful with women--and see evidence that it works--they tend to dive in headfirst. Perhaps because, when it comes down to it, this is why we're really here.
Amazon.com: Do you meet women who have read The Game? What are they thinking? And thousands of people there, as you have and many thousands more who read the book, women are beginning to recognize the strategies? They never say: "Hey, you 're playing games on me"?
Strauss: I've run into some women who've read the book to learn about the male mind, and they've all been positive about it--the book, that is, not the male mind. It's the women who've heard of the book but haven't read it who want to burn it.
And actually, a guy at a book signing the other day told me he got caught using one of the openers. But he still walked away with her phone number. His advice: on the rare chance that it happens, don't get scared and scamper off. Instead, use it as an opportunity to start a conversation about the game itself and whether it works. If they've read the book, this obviously means they're interested in the subject--and now you both have something in common.
Amazon.com:Rules of the Game is actually two books: the Stylelife Challenge and the Style Diaries. The first book is pretty straightforward: a 30-day plan for "Mastering the Game." But the second one is not what you'd expect in a self-help book. Can you explain what it is and why you included it?
Strauss: I didn't want to just give people a self-help book, and promise that their life will be sunshine and unicorns forever. I wanted them to know that with knowledge and power come a new set of challenges and problems. So the black book contains seduction stories from the dark side of the game, and the fact that, as the German director Fassbinder put it, "We were born to need each other, but we still haven't learned how to live with each other."
Amazon.com: Part history The Game was the tension of what happens, after you've become proficient at the Game, when you find someone you love. Is that the point: to go from player to lover (or, ulp, husband!)? How do you do that? Or does playing the Game become its own end for some people?
Strauss: If you master the game, then you also must master your own fears and insecurities. And overcoming these destructive traits can only help you have healthier relationships. That said, the downside to learning the game and then falling in love is that you have to be strong, because there are a lot more options than there once were. So for readers who are having trouble: the secret to monogamy is realizing that the fantasy of being with someone else is usually better than the reality. You can't do better than love.

| The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Hamlet, or the last game without MMORPG features, shaders and product placement |
Being a giant, beloved video game site has its downsides. For example, we sometimes neglect to give independent developers our coverage love (or loverage, if you will) as we get caught up in AAA, AAAA or the rare quintuple-A titles. To remedy that, we're giving indies the chance to create their own loverage and sell you, the fans, on their studios and products. This week we talk with mif2000 (Deins Galanin) about how he turned the unlikeliest of IPs into a point-and-click PC adventure called Hamlet.  Deins Galanin: Before I became an independent developer, I spent five years working in a Russian game development company, where I helped develop a number of commercial games. (Some of them are very popular in Russia, but almost unknown in the west.) At a certain point, each developer faces a tough moral choice: either do what you're told to do, or do what you want to do. I chose the latter and became an independent developer. Continue reading The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Hamlet, or the last game without MMORPG features, shaders and product placement

| Telltale 's "Jurassic Park game for the cinema is much more serious' ' |
 "... in the case of Jurassic Park, we've wanted to kind of step out and do something that's cinematically much more serious than the kind of.... you know, we feel like we're getting pigeonholed a little bit as a company that makes funny cartoon games about talking animals, whereas really what we think of ourselves as is a company that makes games about cinema," Grossman said. "And so we want to explore some different territory. How is the gameplay supporting the tension of the scene, and what kind of tension is it? How is the game paced? And so you're going to find all of that stuff in the Jurassic Park series." While Jurassic Park Let's hope we learn more before Telltale's Jurassic Park begins its monthly excursions from Isla Sorna this winter.
